6 weeks: 1st visit to the gynae

9 Dec 08: Finally we've reached 9th dec - our first appointment with gynae* - to check on the bb's development. Hope the bb has been doin well for the past weeks! Have been unsure since duno wat's happening inside my tummy. So have been lookin forward to this 1st visit. This is also Dear's first time accompanying me to see gynae. He says he will accompany me for every single visits..

The gynae tried to do a tummy scan but can't really see the water bag cuz blocked by intenstines and stuffs. Haha. So I did a V-scan instead.

There I saw my water bag (the doc explained that I am indeed pregnant. Only pregnant woman has water bag) and a tiny little peanut-sized sac at the corner. I also saw a thumping heart. That's my bb's heartbeat! Below it is the egg yolk that the sac is feeding on for the first 12 weeks. The sac is 3.9mm long now. Still very small but I am sure bb will grow up very fast.

Thought I may feel emotional and may tear, in fact I didn't. But after that I will occasionally think of the thumping heart and feel amazed!! There's a thumping heartbeat inside my tummy...


Can only share my experience secretly here, and also with my family. Still can't tell anyone else yet. But I know the time will be ripe soon... That will be in CNY 2009!

*My gynae is Dr. Jocelyn Wong from ACJ Clinic, and is based at Thomson Medical Centre - a stone's throw away from where we live. I got to know her through online research and her name was mentioned quite many times. She is well-recommended for her patience and assurance. I went to her for my pap smear check in end Oct and really found her as what others described. So decided on her to be my gynae.. The last time when I saw her, she did jokingly say, hope to see u soon...when you are pregnant which really came true very fast... hee
