1st visit to Gynae – 3 Oct 09
Baby is now 7 weeks 5 days old… Visited Judy Wong’s Clinic at Thomson Medical Centre last Saturday…
Reached her clinic around 9.40am. Nurse gave me a cup of warm water to fill up my bladder cos ultrascan needs full bladder then can see foetus clearly. She took my height and weight too.. 57.7kg.
I get to see Dr Wong after 10.30am. She’s very friendly and patient when explaining things to me. Checked if my family has any illness like diabeties, check with me if I have drug allergy etc… Then went to do scanning!
Squeezed some transparent gel on my lower belly.. and start to scan..haha.. When she pressed down, I can see my bladder change shape..whahaha so funny… And I almost squirt out urine lor cos I really had full bladder when I see her.
Explained to me where is the uterus, which is water bag and which is baby. Used her machine to measure the baby, which is 14.3mm now! So tiny..looks like red bean. And she told me the fast pumping thing is the heartbeat!! Zoomed in for me to see it clearer. Also told me the estimated delivery date is 17 May 2010.
Prescribed me 2 types of medication. One was a Multi-Vitamin pills, to take together with the Folic Acid which the GP gave me. Also prescribed me pills for vomitting.. but that one will cause drowsiness la. So I will restrain from eating that.
Done with Dr Wong. The nurse gave me a strip to ask me urine on it. This is to test the sugar and protein level. Mine is normal. Great! Oh, and upon payment (bill was about $206 lor!) she passed me a goodie bag. Some of the items in it:
Sample Milk Powder for pregnant mothers (2 sachets), Baby Care magazine, Huggies diaper with a inflated baby buttock for us to try out the diaper..haha.. I blew it up and put on the diaper.. Some other stuff are useless like brochures, full month’s cake catalog, buffet company’s ad and a couple of massage vouchers etc.
Hoho.. I really think the buttock thing is so funny lor.. have a closer look again…
Oh yes..the breakdown of the bill:
Consultation – $80
Ultrascan – $40
Blood test (pre-paid for next month’s visit) – $60
Urine Strip Test – $10
Medication – $10+
Total ard $206.. expensive hor…
