What a 2nd trimester - Part II: Visit to Thomson Medical Centre, 9 Oct 2010

We did not manage to get any slot on Saturday. The earliest one will be the following Tuesday. Being anxious, 1st-time parents, we could not wait any further. Thus, with the advice of the nurse, we reached TMC before 830am (opening hour of the clinic), hoping to get the earliest slot.

The centre was packed. Nevertheless, we managed to see the doctor after waiting for 1 1/2hr. 

Like I mentioned before, this is an active baby, constantly moving inside my tummy. But I was happy that it is active. Active = healthy. The doctor did a detailed ultra-scan of the baby's developing organs, everything was good, as per Dr Ho's diagnosis. However, when it comes to the examination of the baby's brain, the doctor has a bit of difficulty. The baby was lying on its tummy, face down (hahahaha.....). No matter how much the doctor tried to talk to the baby to look up, the baby just refused, until the mummy came in. 

"Baby baby, be good. Listen to the doctor and let her look at you. The more obedient you are, the faster we can get out of this room and meet daddy who is waiting outside for us." 

It works. Baby slowly turned its body and looked up. There it went. Doctor finally managed to get a good view of the baby. No cyst. Phew. What a relief. 

Baby tried to be a little funny before we ended the session. It stretched one of its legs and tried to use its hand to reach the toes. "So cute."


Once again, we heaved a sigh of relief. Baby is good, active and healthy.

Here are another snapshot of our pretty baby. For a moment, I thought the baby was blowing bubbles...=p
