Second Ultrasound @ 10.3 Weeks

Today, we were upgraded, sort of, to Clinic C from Clinic D and was attended to by a Dr Tan Thiam Chye, whom we were informed, had his own private clinic.

I had mixed feelings after this visit.

I was due for a "dating/viability" ultrasound scan and waited 30 mins to see a Ms Aloka who seemed in a hurry.

This US (ultrasound) photo shows her measuring the CRL, crown to rump length.


This US photo shows her measuring my uterus both ways.


This one shows LSUT.


And this one, shows where the little one's heart is beating :) Ms Aloka says it's too early to tell head from tail, so, the arrow just points to a beating heart.


My urine tested +++ for glucose and the nurse who interpreted the strip exclaimed, "Wah, you diabetic ah!" On afterthought, that was quite insensitive. I defended, I had a glass of orange juice. Less than an hour ago @ 1430hrs. Had the urine test about 1530hrs.

Saw Dr Tan close to 1630hrs. Quick consultation, he also seemed in a hurry and perfunctory. Asked me if I had any nausea, vomitting, flu symptoms, and I had to pause to catch up with him, before answering "no". Then he just says, "good". And asked if I had been taking any folic acid and supplements, I answered "Yes, and Obimin", but I don't think he heard I only had 2 weeks' supply left because after that he'll see me in 4 weeks and no prescription.

Dr Tan did ask if we were interested to take some tests (US & blood) for Downs Syndrome, costs about $150 only, I looked @ Lougong and he piped, yes. So, after that we were sent for counselling and took up the 1st test package, a detailed US scan.

After that, I went for a blood test, which included a glycosylated blood test. I'm assuming that's for the average blood sugar for past 3 months, after the +++ glucose urine test. Hope that turns out ok.

So, there. Mixed feelings.
