Leap Day - Emergency Check up- 15th weeks pregnant

My next appointment was supposed to be on the 8th of March 2012, however on the 28th February, i had 3-4 major pains in my stomach, right above my belly button, something I've never felt before. It was so pain, i couldn't continue walking, even though i really needed to pee, the pain was as though someone just gave me a really good hard punch in my stomach, and i was in great pain that i was crunching, after the pain has subside i walked few steps, and it happened again, this repeated for 3-4 times!

Honestly, i was freaking out, i'm only 15 weeks pregnant, and this can't be the baby KICKING! i rest and sat down and started calling experienced friends, to ask if they felt anything like this before, and both of them said no, it's not common, and they only felt this during their MISCARRIAGE! i started googling, and of course i tried calling Dr. Ravi's clinic but it was after 5.30pm, and no one was picking up.. the whole night i felt discomfort and i couldn't stand for long..

Next morning, i called the clinic, and ask if i should be alarm, told them i'm not bleeding and my next appointment is the following week, the ladies said, Just come in, for assurance, i didn't speak to the Dr. but she said, Dr, will tell you the same thing, to just come in, because they can't see if i'm alright through the phone anyway, SO.. Another rushed to the hospital..

Luckily, there wasn't a long queue.. probably 1 patient before us..

Dr said checked my BP, and checked my baby, everything was A-O-KAY! PHEW! heart beat, beating at a good rate, bones all building, fingers all there, and all 3 bones on each fingers are there.. (if it's 2 bones on a finger shows symptoms of downs) Brains developing, and he said there's so many things to why my stomach was so pain, but he can't explain why.. his advice is.. just rest and don't walk when it happens.. basically i think the general rule here is, as long as you are not bleeding, everything should be fine.

So that's how we spend our Leap day, seeing our baby, again. :)

Our next appointment is 28th March, it's our 20 weeks check up, it's going to take 45mins - 1 hour check for anomaly check. (and i found out not all my friends had this check up, due to Dr's machine) weird.

On V'day's check up - 13 weeks pregnant

I was still spotting.. so Dr. Ravi said i shouldn't be spotting anymore, i probably have a polyps (which i removed my first polyp in 2011), true enough.. i had one maybe 1cm polyp.. he removed it and sent it for check, although he said it's 99.9% nothing to be worried about.. it's just hospital's policy to send it in..

He mentioned that i'm going to see blood for few days, and it should stop in 3-4 days time.. and true enough, it was crystal clear again! :)

Overall, everything is going on smoothly and on track.. we did our down syndrome checked today.. the neck was less than 2.5cm or was it 0.25cm.. anyway, it was within the normal range.. SO i felt so relieved, as we have someone related has down syndrome.. he checked the nose.. and it was also okay..

Dr. took some blood of from me, to further confirm i'm clear from 3 of the syndromes.. downs, edwards, pataus..

He still continued me on Duphaston, however today i start on my calcium pills, and multi-vits. :) yay! i'm officially going into my 2nd trimester!

Today we went home with a big smile, and a CD compilation of today's ultrasound scans, and short mini video clip of our lil' baby.. It was an AWESOME V'day!
