Now to the geez of it
Now to the geez of the blog..
Feb 13th, wifey was complaining of giddiness. for awhile i tot she "kk" to avoid going work, haha! But she was indeed not feeling too good, so asked her to rest, no fever thou. I went to market to get some brunch and at same time some veggie to cook. And while doing tat, all sudden felt an "inner" voice tellin me to clear my doubts.. if wifey preggie? HAHA! SO, went to NTUC Pharmacy n got the ClearBlue pregnancy test kit!
Evening it cooled down abit but wifey had not much appetite to eat, so I cooked some porridge. Porridge with ginger, pork ball added with sesame oil and cooked cabbage, snow peas and french beans stir fried..
After dinner, she went to test using the ClearBlue kit, heart was pumping ... fast and furious!!
TWO CLEAR DISTINCT LINES!! Wifey is pregnant!!! Was estactic and overjoyed, but becos wifey was not sure of her menses cycle, we wanted a confirmation.. so decided to go a GP tomorrow to "double" confirm, sounds silly uh.. haha
Feb 14th, Valentine's Day? Hambug, think tis day is made up by the card n gifts ppl, haha! Anyway, why should u wait till tis day to show ur loved ones how much u care, anyday also can wat! haha
Well, its morning, we decided to go down to the GP to verify the results. Same routine, test urine, then wait... Confirmed and Double Confirmed!! Wifey is preggie!!
But becos wifey didnt know her cycles, we don know how many weeks the little jr is.. so GP adviced us to go for a dating scan...
We were contemplating as to either go do it now or wait till she finishes her Folic Acid??
After some deliberation, we can't resist the curiousity to find out how many weeks little jr is, thus the scouring through the internet on which gynae is good.. here is a link i found quite interesting...

We also made some calls for recommendation, finally made up our mind and went to one in AMK Central.
We made appointment for 1530hrs, left house bout 1430hrs.
We went for lunch first then proceeded to the clinic. Well, wifey went for the so called "routine checks", blood pressure, urine for sugar level, weight n etc.
We waited in suspense after tat to see the gynae..
The front desk... "U may go in now"
Well, we went in, the gynae went thru with us some questions on the family medical history. Btw, its a lady gynae cos wifey prefers one.
After going thru the questions, she asked me to stay n wifey went for the dating scan. I was not allowed to see... hmm, is tat a standard practise?
Anyway, wifey says can see a pouch only n according to the gynae should b bout few weeks old...
The gynae also said the following:
NO RAW FOOD
NO COLD STUFF
NOT TOO MUCH CHINESE HERBS
FRUITS NEEDS SKIN TO B PEELED
Thereafter, wifey was given more vit C for the little one n her..
Tat was it, only a 15 mins affair.
Was told to come back in 3 weeks time for follow-up, should be able to by then see the little one forming.
Overall, the gynae was very exprerienced n confident, wifey quite comfortable w her (also partly recommended by a close friend) but was telling her tat perhaps we can also try another gynae just to see the difference.
And man the experience of 15 mins did cost alot, $100! Wa, maybe we will let our junior go take up this course next time!
So, we headed home after tat... calls were made, congratulations was sent!!! haha, Counting Down!!
