A scene at the clinic two weeks ago..
Doctor: See these layers? Those are your stomach fat.
Me: Eek! Gemuknye! But I don't
seem to look fat now..
Doctor: *Avoiding the topic* Below those er, layers, is your uterus. This black area is water..
Me: I seem to have a lot of water in my tummy too.. *about to cringe some more*
Doctor: Yes, but that's a good thing. It's not really water-lah.. The 'water' is actually the amniotic fluid. Your baby will be protected and float in the fluid all throughout your pregnancy.
Me: Amnio what?
Doctor: You know when they say your 'water breaks'?
Me: Uhuh..
Doctor: That means your amniotic fluid ruptures so baby will be on its way soon.
Me: Ah-hah.. *haven't the slightest idea what she's on about, but I'll do my homework*
Doctor: This here is your baby. See? It's moving..
Me: Oh my, why is it twirling like that?
Doctor: That's normal, though I must say it's pretty active..
At this point, hubby was just so excited he held my toes. I think it took him a bit of strength to stop himself from saying 'That's my boy!' knowing that
it doesn't have a gender yet.
Me: It's so small!
Doctor: Yes, by now it's just about 26mm. Like an inch..
Me: Hehe.. ayang see that?
Hubby was grinning and nodding, while jotting down something on his pda.
That was my first ultrasound. Doc said since the baby was moving, it already has its own heartbeat. Just seeing the little peanut moved gave me strength to go on with my nausea and sickness. Now I'll be more determined than ever to swallow all those darn vitamins and folic acid the doctor gave me, though they taste horrible and always,
always make me wanna throw up.
That night I demanded hubby to tell me what was he working on during our first scan. I know he's pretty busy with work now but can't it wait till we're out of the clinic? He showed me his pda.
Second visit to doc's.
First ultrasound.
Junior is 2.6cm long and is 10 weeks old.
Aww..
