3rd pregnancy check up and nurse's visit..

I done my 3rd check up on 19th May 2009 (2 days after i am back from SZ) at Muar GH. Supposedly i no need to go for check up so soon, but since the check up in SZ wasn't done full (without urine test) and i just have a long travelling, better go for a check up to confirm me and baby really doing well.

Choose to go Muar GH becoz first of all, it's FOC for all Malaysian regardless races and they don't mind where you want to give birth later. Besides, it's fully equipped and the check up is quite thorough, although most routine check up is done by experienced nurses and only scanning will be done by doctor or when necessary.

Urine test : normal
Blood pressure : 120/80
Hb : 10.9 (low-being advised to eat more foods contained of iron, vitamin C and vitamin B complex, plus folid acid pill)
Weight : 43.5kg (gain a 0.5 kg within 2 days back from SZ. Well, i am really eating a lot since back but still being said by the nurse that i'm too light and have to eat more ;p)
Baby's heart beating at normal rate.
Folid acid pill was given.

Beside the above routine check, and since i am considered as doing the 1st checking at the hospital, they took my blood sample for HIV checking (a must for all pregnant women). I have also done a dental check at the hospital (No problem with all my teeth of course ;-}).

Upon end of the consultation, the nurse requested me to be back for scanning by the doctor on 28th May. I told the nurse that i have just done a scan in SZ 2 days ago and even show her the report but she insisted for the coming appointment. Mostly becoz she can't read and understand the report written in Chinese, so a scan in the hospital for record is better. Plus due to my past record, they have bookmarked my profile for more attention.

Surprisingly a nurse from GH Muar came visit at my home on 21st May morning.

I know they will visit randomly when they are free but i never thought they will visit me so fast becoz i have just went to the hospital 2 days ago.

Anyway, the visit was simple. The nurse have some words with me and check my blood pressure (120/80) that's all. She leave after confirming the coming appointment.
