Hey ladies,
If you guys have read the previous post, I apologies if it made some ladies uncomfortable with the news shared. I just wanted to document all the steps that I went through with my 1st viable pregnancy and hopefully it could help some ladies who are going through the same boat as I am.
I even search in forums and groups online, surprisingly that there are alot of ladies going through the same issue.. I even read some NT (Nuchal Translucency) were 4.7mm, 5.2mm, 9.0mm & 13.0mm and most of them commented that my NT is still within the normal range of 3.5mm and below, according to the UK standard measurements. I am not sure why my country is stating the range to be 2.5mm and below. It could be for the group range/ statistically researched outcome..
So today is the day, 30th December 2020 we will get the Harmony Test Results & another scan done today.
We arrived earlier by 1 hour for the scan. Scheduled for 8.30am but we are already there at 7.30am. Hahaha!!
We had a quick breakfast and went for the scan at 8am. Got called 15mins later to do the scan.
Subhanallah, seeing lil bean moving around, the lil arms, legs, fingers and toes, the spine and butt.. I was really in love with the lil one.. Took few photos and we went over to the next clinic for the consultation with the Dr.
We sat down in the clinic, and at roughly around 9.30am we were called in. Also, I needed to do a Gestational Diabetes checklist (GDC) where I need to record my sugar level reading daily. Oh my goodness, my fingertips are already nerveless or should I say NUMB with no sensation due to the constant poking daily, 7 times a day! Before after meal and before bed.
Surprisingly, my sugar level has been constantly great! It's like lil bean helped regulate my sugar content and from the scans, lil bean is not beyond big from the gestational measurement as per stated by week, lil bean is growing well and consistent as scheduled.
We got in and was attended by 2 lady Drs who seems cheerful and happy! I hand over my GDC records and she mentioned that I should continue doing it until my visit to the Diabetic Dr which is scheduled on 21st January 2021. I took note and waited patiently for the Harmony Test.
"So before I hand over the Harmony Test, do you want to know the gender of the baby?"
I was shocked and totally forgotten about that part! I looked at Mountain Bear & I knew he had peek into the test results in front of the Dr.
I kindly asked to have the gender portion tape with a small paper or sticky pad and the Dr gladly do it. LOL!!
"Ok that's done!" She said
"Now, let's get to the real reason for the Harmony Test. In your previous FTS, your risk for Down Syndrome is 1:860 which we will still considered it as mid risk. What we wanted to know if the Harmony Test will help show a proper reading to the previous test. Now, the results from the Harmony Test shows that for all Trisomy 13, Trisomy 18, Trisomy 21 are 1:10,000 which is at the lowest risk for your lil baby. And there is no chromosome abnormalities detected. So, you can relax now, baby is fine."
ALHAMDULILAH!!! ALHAMDULILAH!!!! ALHAMDULILAH!!!! I could feeling the lightness in my heart and shoulder upon hearing the results.. Lil bean is well & growing well! Alhamdulilah!
So we thank our Dr and proceed out, smiling behind our face mask and went to sit at a corner to see the gender. I was excited to know & mountain bear mentioned that he notice from the scans we went through that He had a feeling lil bean is of that sex. While I mentioned to him it was the opposite sex. Well, reasons is because we used a Gender Prediction kit which we used during my 1st trimester. LOL! It could be the right one or the opposite outcome!
So gently I peel of the sticker on the gender result, it was what Mountain Bear has guess!! HAHAHAH!! I was surprised and wasn't upset it didn't turn out to be what I thought! I guess his fatherly instinct kicked in when he saw the scan.. "It's ok love, we can get that gender you wanted on our next try.." I laughed and smiled at him, wanting to kiss him right there!!!
We got up and head out for a visiting to my in laws.. At the same moment, Mountain Bear texted his best buddy with an icon without saying the gender. His buddy, who had 2 children of the same gender wanted an opposite gender baby on his 3rd try! And when he knew Mountain Bear had the gender he wished for, these 2 mens laughing out loud! HAHA!
I am soooo happy to see him feeling great.. And I am super blessed to be given a chance to carry a child in me. A child which is part of me & mountain bear.. the man whom I really love and madly crazy for.. 6 years being two is amazing!! I can't wait for our 7th year to be a trio!
That's all for reading this blog ladies!
I will update you guys on the next scan & appointment with the Diabetic Dr.
Till then!
