2nd pregnancy checkup..

Done on 15th May 2009 at ShenZhen. Actually i planned to do the check up after i am back in Muar (will be back on 17th). But that afternoon i found some brownish discharge when i go toilet. That's really terrified me and i decided to call hubby who is at work to company me to see the doctor (better safe than sorry). Hubby rushed home and we went to ShenZhen Spring Hospital which located nearby our neighborhood. Although we don't really trust China's doctor but we still opt for it becoz Hongkong is too far. And according to a friend, their scan is quite detailed, though their doctor may be inexperience. Well, a scan will be good enough since i only want to make sure my baby is safe in my tummy.

A color scan was done. The baby is doing well, heart beat is normal and no irregular found. Finally, set our heart at rest. As for the brownish discharge, the doctor advised i might be too tired or the placenta is slightly lower. She convinced us that as long the discharge wasn't bloody and my abdomen wasn't in great pain, there is nothing to be worried. All i need to do is rest more and don't carry heavy things. (Wondering how can a person who is not working, rest at home always like me be too tired??? Though i didn't really sleep well the night before, but could it be so serious??? Anyway, thank God no more brownish discharge after that.)

After the gynea advice us about the scan, hubby ask the gynea why they don't do urine test, blood pressure measurement and weighting. The gynea quickly answered she is about to do that now (Usually all these are done before scanning wondering why they are different. Big possibility if hubby don't ask she will save the hassle.)

Still she skipped the urine test. My blood pressure is normal and my weight has reduced to 43kg (0.8kg lesser since last check up). Well, not surprise, due to the morning sickness, i have no appetite and is only eating a little. Will gain back once the miserable period passed.


Scan report showing the baby (too small in the pic to be seen) and baby's heart beat.

The check up cost us only RMB 125 (color scan RMB 120 and RMB 5 registration fee). This is very much cheaper than in Hongkong. Have check that 3D scanning which baby appearance can be seen very clearly also available in that hospital with RMB 299. In Hongkong, the same 3D scan cost around HKD 1800 and i believe in Malaysia it also cost a few hundreds ringgit.
