I had my first prenatal checkup yesterday! Visited Dr Heng at her clinic, within parkway east hospital.
I was feeling nervous before the visit. I didn't know what to expect and I was worried for the baby. All I hoped for was for baby to be safe and developing well.
Anyways, Dr Heng turned out to be a really nice lady. Her check up was so fast and efficient. I basically went in with Gerald, told her my last period date and she did my ultrasound immediately.
And there it was! My baby on the screen, appearing like a lil lump at the right bottom corner of my uterus. According to the measurements, baby's 8 weeks, 1 day old on 28th May.
And the most amazing bit was listening to baby's heartbeat! Omg, it was such a moment to remember. The quick, thumping heartbeat almost had me emotional.
Gerald was so funny. He actually couldn't tell where the baby was. He thought it looked like a donut!
After the ultrasound, Dr Heng answered some of our queries and basically that was it! Fast checkup. Next one in end June!
Now I'm just praying for baby to be safe!
