13/12/08 - NT scan

I visited gynae on 29th Nov and was told that it's about time to do the NT scan @ TMC. There isn't any dates left so gynae clinic staff told me to try my luck to go early in the morning on saturday to queue like the previous time. When i heard the news, i really hate it cos it reminds me of the torturing 3 hours of waiting and cannot go toilet cos need to have full bladder. See my old posting - http://debbieandairrence.blogspot.com/2007/07/070707-nt-scan.html

However, few days before the schedule date, i received phone call from TMC that they have a slot @ 11.30am for me! Yippee... Then i recall could it be the feedback form that i sent in the previous time to complain abt their service so this time they take note and allocate a slot for me? :P Anyway it doesn't matter as long as i don't have to wait cos not only i don't have patience, same goes for Adelle.

On 13th Dec, we brought Adelle along cos it's weekend. No one to babysit her. When i went into the room, the sonographer tell me that baby #2 not in a good position so sent me to wait outside. We walked around for 20 mins before going in again. Well, this time round baby # 2 is behaving well but my baby #1 throw tantrums wor! Adelle is making so much noise inside the room and crying! Aiyo.... it is so disturbing. :( The sonographer quickly took some measurements and told us that baby #2 is ok!

Within the same week, gynae clinic called & told me that they have received the report & everything is normal. Here are the results :
