4 months check up

Semalam pi 4 months check up kat Klinik AU2.

Actually semalam baru je 15 weeks 6 days. Takpelah, consider 16 weeks la kan...

Biasalah, klinik kerajaan ni mana ade ultrasound scan macam kat klinik swasta yang setiap kali datang check up kena bayar. So, semalam nurse tu cari heartbeat baby guna Daphtone tapi dia kata masih tak dapat dengar jelas sebab my baby's heartbeat quite slow. Daphtone tu scan bunyi je, macam radio pon ada. hehe :P

Risau gak bila dengar sebab one of my friend yang preggy 17 weeks kata dia dah dapat rasa baby dia gerak2 since 16th weeks lagi. Dia pun dah 2 kali scan.

Aku tanya nurse tu, agak2 bila agaknya timing yang normal untuk kita rasa gerakan and dengar heartbeat baby tu. Dia kata sesetengah ibu mengandung dapat rasa gerakan masa masuk 16 minggu preggy. Tapi selalunya masuk 20 minggu la insyaAllah dah ada. Sama gak macam scan bunyi heartbeat tu. Alhamdulillah, sedikit lega bila dengar nurse tu kata camtu. Next month (9 March) is my next appointment plak. And I'm praying the best. Tak maula perasaan risau ni berterusan. Not good, not good...

Petang semalam, balik je dari appt klinik tu, aku rest kejap. Aku susah nak rest tido tengahari. Semalam dapatla sejam rehat and sangat best! :)) After that, aku terus google cari pasal baby's heartbeat.

Dis is what I've yet discovered:

"How early you can hear the baby's heartbeat is dependent on many different factors. We expect to be able to hear the baby with an amplified doppler device by about 12 weeks of gestation -- BUT there are many variables to be taken into consideration. One of the reasons that we may not be able to hear the baby at that point is the position of the uterus or the position of the baby within the uterus. Another reason is that many mothers have an additional layer of fat just above the pubic bone, and this is the area we listen through when we are looking for a very small baby at around 12 weeks. Sometimes it can be difficult to locate the baby or hear the fetal heartbeat when you are listening through a little extra padding. In addition, the position of the placenta may interfere with the audio when checking the fHR (fetal heart rate). "

Aku googled jugak pasal the baby's look untuk 16th weeks:

So, this is my next scheduled check up:

24 Feb - MGTT check up (check up untuk diabetes sebab aku ada family history - Abah)

1 March - Appt with Doc for baby's scan

9 March - 5 months check up (monthly check up)

Malam tadi masa nak tido, biasalah aku memang akan buat rutin biasa which is pi shishi dulu. After dat, trus baring kat katil. And then aku rasa, ape la yang macam senak sket kat area bawah pusat belah kiri. Rupanya, it's my baby!! I can feel it! Tak kicking or bergerak. Cuma dia lepak kat situ. And aku rasa macam tak selesa bila baring and bernafas. First time aku dapat rasa baby tau :D Sangat happy!! :D So, aku pujuk la baby sambil usap2 dia, swuh tido kat tengah2 sket sebab aku takleh nak tido kalo dia kat bawah tu... Alhamdulillah, mendengar kata gak baby aku ni and baby alih ke tengah :D And then masa encik hubby masuk tido plak (encik hubby masuk tido lewat sket), aku cakap kat dia yang aku dah dapat rasa baby, terkejut dia.. Ngeee~~ By that time, baby tido kat belah kanan bawah plak tapi tak ganggu aku. Trus encik hubby tekap telinga kat perut aku. Dia kata dia dapat dengar degupan jantung baby. Ntah betul ke tidak. Haha ;D
