(23 weeks 3 days)
I went for my 5th month detailed scan on 15 sept 2009 (5 months 3 days). I’m grateful that everything went smooth and well.
I reached Dr Tony Tan’s office at 3.15pm. My appt was at 3.45pm. With the half an hour to spare I went to their cafe with the intention to grab a quick Roti Tissue. Unfortunately, the fella who manned the stall told me no roti tissue but I can opt for Roti Prata Telur (similar to our Roti Canai). I was so disappointed. Haiz. How could they turn down a pregnant lady’s craving right. Hahaha.. as if they care.
After my quickie bite. I went upstairs for my appointment. I went to the loo with a dip stick for the routine urine test. All normal. Next, the nurse called my name for pressure and weight check. My eyes popped when I saw 53.8kg on the scale. Gosh.. I gained close to 3kg in a month?? I sorta expected a gain but 3kg? Scary. Must be the roti. LOL.
BB2 was cooperative for awhile but after 20 minutes or so BB2 decided to put up a fuss. After numerous futile tries to capture the image on spine and right heart, my obgyn suggested a 10 minutes break.
10 minutes passed. BB2 was cooperative again. Voila. All done. All perfect.
BB2 was about 377g (about 27g heavier than average) with long legs and arms. I guess that explains why my tummy is bigger this time round comparing to Ryan’s at the same month.
My appetite is growing and growing. I don’t have any special cravings but I do have a slight preference over sweet flavoured drinks/food than anything else. 7-11 Slurpee, Ice cream, Starbucks’s Chocolate Chips Vanilla are some of my favourite! Soooo unhealthy!
I opted for a Chorionic Villus Sampling procedure back in July. That procedure made me $1500 poorer but it was really money we couldn’t have saved anyway. After 10 days of agonising, torturing, sleepless nights, I received the much awaited phone call from the clinic. Thank goodness. All’s good. Yippeeee!!!
The above is a copy of BB2′s chromosome chart received from my obgyn and that was after I made a personal call to the lab for a copy of it. Apparently it wasn’t a standard procedure to release the chart; summary report yes. Mmm.. anyway.. glad I made that extra effort. So cute.
From the chart, it’s no secret BB2 will be a boy or girl.. *smile*
