Yesterday, we were so happy to get up from bed, because we were so keen to know the gender of this baby, and to get information from the ultrasound technician about how well our baby is.
We arrived @ RIPAS at around 8.15am.
We waited more than an hour before my name was called.
I thought I would be seeing this kind, middle aged malay woman who used to always scan my tummy.
Instead I met this chinese lady yg quite snobbish 😅 sombong sulnya huhu... I dont get to ask her name tho... mind you, not all chinese are like that ah...the chinese dietitian I met yesterday was an angel 😇 love her to bits...and Dr Alice from Endocrine Unit is also a bless. They are lovely people, glad to have them around ! 😉
Ok, so I cakap lah at this lady, I said nicely "kalau dapat, minta tolong check kan gender ya"
well, it's GOVERNMENT CLINIC y'allllllll....what do you expect...
you have to request to get them going....
otherwise they wont do that for you...
then she said "only if I can see"
ok sure, no hal...
it took her around 1 minute before she turned the screen for me to have a peek.
and she said "right now I cannot see the gender"
"it's okay lah" i said, and continue saying "how about the baby? are all the organs well developed?"
"that one also i cannot see. as you can see here, it's too blurry"
oh....and i kept quiet.
and she continued "we'll see how it is on the next scan"
ohh......okay
so I got up and left the room, disappointed.
we went there for an ultrasound, hoping to hear some news...but...
then lapas atu have to wait again another hour for consultation with the doctor.
that time mood sudah down berabis...
oh by the way, my weight kemarin dropped sikit, and blood pressure was 106/66
bila doctor panggil masuk, she asked me to lie down to check my tummy, and she asked "how's the ultrasound?"
I said to her "she asked me to wait for the next scan coz she couldnt see it clearly"
doctor cakap "maybe you asked about the gender? maybe it's still too early"
so i replied "yes i did ask her about gender, that one I dont mind lah. but I also asked her about the organs of my baby, and all she could say was - still blurry"
doctor seemed surprised and said "i thought i saw a statement just now" so there she was, reading the screen again.
the statement says something like this "brain chamber seems normal. all organs seem ok, dont see any defect"
and i was like....tediam skajap
I THOUGHT THAT CHINESE LADY SAID TO ME "ALL IS STILL BLURRY"
ani okay tia? normal tia? why didnt she say that to my face? all she had to say was "still blurry"
sasak ku...huhu...
i guess my BP kemarin atu naik kali pasal i kept on thinking about it sampai ani...
if she can make a statement like that to inform the doctor, she could have said the same thing to me....
is this the standard procedure kah? letting the doctors know tapi diam2 arah patient... I DONT GET IT
buat ultrasound pn inda sampai 5 minit. i know la banyak patient di luar. sigh...
I remember dulu masa pregnant with mayra, 16-18 weeks sudah nampak pakai machine Dr Ding di yayasan, Dr Ding cakap 60% girl. 40% boy
then 18-20 weeks lagi buat scan di CY Lim clinic, 80% girl, 20% boy kata Dr Emy.
yang ani, 20 weeks guna machine hospital kerajaan, still cannot see anything...rubbish lah, baby that time was stretching his/her leg....i saw it....mana ada bekatup... (sorry emo sikit !)
and trust me...these are not the only reasons I got frustrated kemarin...

Endocrine Appointment @ RIPAS on 27-Nov-2017

20 weeks 3 days
When I was 2months+ pregnant, my TSH level was around 7++
To have a very healthy pregnancy, the level should be below 2
and 2 days ago, the doctor was quite happy to see my TSH blood test result
it was around 1.3 if im not mistaken.
Nevertheless, she increased the dosage from 50mcg to 75mcg,
because according to her, as the pregnancy progresses,
the baby requires more thyroid hormone from the mother.
Well, not a problem...as long as my baby is healthy and happy,
anything for you my dear...
