On the day of appointment, we reach the clinic at 8.30am, after registration, the usual urine trip test and weight measurement. Within mins, I get to see Dr Su, she took my blood pressure and ask me few questions about any feeling of baby movements, if I have eat well..etc. She told me that my weight is still the same, but I told her it can't be because I am very sure that I have gain about 3.5kg over the last 4 weeks. I suspect this is another mistake by the admin staff who do the recording of my weight measurements :(
Dr Su said that she can see my baby bump has grown a lot and more important is, we have to see if Bee is gaining weight so we went to the scan room for an ultrasound scan to measure Bee's heartbeat and his abdominal circumference. Dr Su explain that, the abdominal circumference is the basic biometric parameters used to assess if baby had grown adequately in their gestational age. She show me that the system had measure Bee in his current 25weeks gestational age, so it means he is growing well :)
After seeing Dr Su, I was called to the nurse room to take my first blood drawn at 9.50am. The nurse gave me a orange drink (with 75 grams of sugar) and ask me to finish it within 15mins, then come back in 1 hours time. Hubby and I went for a short walk at the Kent Ridge mall then return to the clinic for the 2nd blood drawn at 10.50am. Then again we walk around the hospital and return to clinic for the third blood drawn at 11.55am. The nurse mentioned that the results will be out on the day itself, should there be any abnormality, they will call me before 6pm, otherwise the report will be given on the next visit.
I am so hungry, so we rush out of the clinic and head for my brunch immediately. By around 3pm, hubby and I both receive an SMS from NUH to inform us that the test result is normal. Such a great relieve!
