Time passed by very fast since my last blog. I am very grateful to be able to blog again at my work place. To begin with the story of a new life and a new journey of life. I am finally expecting a baby after so many years and my most important thing now is to give birth to a healthy baby boy and the most exciting thing is to see him for the first time. i mean face to face.... i already really excited to see his picture in 4D. from little tiny round images to something look like a baby with eyes, nose, hands and legs and also to find out that he is a baby boy during my 17 weeks.
I am now 19 weeks pregnant and a bit relieve that I have almost gone through half of the journey.
Last week was quite worried as my screening test result came out positive for down syndrome. We decided to go for amniotic test, where the doctor will insert a needle to the amniotic sac to take some sample of my amniotic fluid and then send it to the lab at Singapore for testing. Luckily the results come out pretty fast and at least now I am less worried to find out that he is normal and can concentrating on more thing now. I guess this is my nature, just less worried instead of have a peace of mind. After all I still have to go through the other half journey of my pregnancy. i am telling myself, lets worried for one thing at a time, I am not thinking anything yet after birth. How ahh becoming a mother, can I cope with it? Whatever is it, I am really happy to play this role…
One thing about the amniotic test is its pose minor risk for miscarriage and the doc seems very misleading to tell us that the fees is one sixty. My hubby have a shock when the RM200 notes given to settle the bill is not enough caused the bill is actually RM1600 instead……….. guess what I didn’t complain or angry at all, this is not me. I just tell my baby mika, no worried, mummy is rich and as long as you are okay, mummy will be very happy. ya the truth is i can afford that but not really rich leh.
The doctor will perform a through scan to find out the baby development on my next visit. and i will be less worried again to find out my baby to have a complete development. All these fees for checkups are not cheap leh. So far I visited 4 times plus one amniotic test and have already spend about RM2400. Found out that the bill for "planned csec" will come around 5k and if induced and then only csec, the bill will go up to 8K… no play play leh… I couldn’t afford this 10 years ago and thus make this as one of the advantage to have baby at older age.... :)
For time being, I still not able to experience my baby doing the kicking and punching yet. Although my tummy is quite huge as compared to one of my friend that is also expecting at the same time. She already can feel it. Guess what, maybe because i created a pretty large space for my baby to move around and its really exciting to find out how is the kicking and punching feeling, and hopefully i will able to sense it by next week.
