#2 IVF 21 Weeks - Another Visit For Scan At AMC & Discharged (9th February 2021)

 Hey ladies!

So today is another routine for a quick scan & a consultation with the Dr. I was suppose to proceed to 2 clinics for today but ended up on going to 1 clinic. Will share with you on the outcome.

So for my 21 weeks scan, we proceed to level 2 for the scan at the AMC dept. We arrived fairly early around 7.30am (well... Mountain Bear was with me.. He woke me up early.. LOL!) while our appointment was at 9.05am.

Had a quick breakfast and head up to the clinic at 8am. Self registration and pass my pink booklet to the counter staff, sat down to have my blood pressure checked, checked my weight and height, and also, urine dipstick which shows normal.

So sat down for another 15mins before my name was called. There was an intern, a male intern who was attached to the sonographer who was doing my scan for the day. She asked me for the permission if it's alright for him to witness the scans that she is doing on me. I told her, I have no issue. Mountain Bear was not around, clearly I knew he wouldn't want another man to see my exposed belly. LOL!

But being in the medical field myself, I knew such exposure to these interns are important and they rarely get the chance to be allowed to witness the scans and also, asked questions. I told him that I'm in the medical field too and understand that it's hard to get such chances. He thanked me and sat at the corner of the room, looking at the monitor screen diligently as the sonographer moves the doppler over my belly.

There, I could see lil bean sleeping, facing the other way, showing the butt. LOL!! The sonographer gently shake my belly to try make lil bean turn around. Not working. LOL! So I was asked to lay on the side as she needed to take further pictures of lil bean's heart chambers and valves. It was an awkward position with slight pressure applied on my belly, but she managed to get the photos needed for the Dr. 

After the 15mins were done, she asked if Mountain Bear is around, I told her yes and she asked me to call him in to see lil bean. Which I gladly called and when Mountain Bear enters and saw the male intern beside the wall, he had a shock on his face and just said 'Hi' while the intern raise his palm and gesture a 'Hi" with a nod. Once Mountain Bear came up to me and spoke few words...

THERE!!!! Lil bean can't stop moving about!! Lil Bean seems to get so excited hearing Mountain Bear's voice! LOL!! So the sonographer showed the gender, the head, the arms, legs, butt and everything looks good..!

So once that's done, sonographer told me to wait outside while she pass my report to the specialist Dr to view.

We waited outside and was worry for our visit to the next clinic which is scheduled in 20mins time.

Roughly 15mins later, we were called in by the specialist Dr and she explained that the scans were all good. All organs were visible. Lil Bean's heart is at a great rate and he is growing well accordingly to the gestational period. The Dr then mentioned that she will be discharging me from this clinic and only need to do a follow up with the other clinic from the next visit onwards. I was happy to hear the news! Lil Bean's heart growth and functions were normal from the scans checked. So the Dr prescribed me another sets of medications to collect and we can go home. Mentioned to her that we had another appointment with the other clinic, she told us that it's not necessary to proceed and the consultation has been done with her!

Great!!! So we thanked her and proceed to the pharmacy to collect our medications and went off! It was a great day! Me & Mountain Bear decided to head out for a date and enjoying each other's company!

For today's visit, it's $116.00. Reason for that is because, we did a detailed scans for Lil Beans Heart & organs.

Our next visit will be on the 24th Week. Will update soonest!
