Seventh Gynae Visit

Sweetheart and I returned to Singapore slightly ahead of schedule; we were supposed to return on 29 June, but because she has not been putting on much weight since her pregnancy, I was concerned that maybe it was her thyroid problem that was playing up. Hence, we returned to Singapore on 17 June in order to see her Endocrinologist on 18 June, and the Gynae on 21 June.

We were really happy that Dr Soon reported that Sweetheart's thyroid condition is under control. However, we found out that she had only put on 5kg since her pregnancy! Definitely too little weight was gained, but I hoped that my Baby is still growing well. Hence, you can image my tension when we saw the Gynae...

Here's an ultrasound scan taken during the Gynae visit on 21 June:


The ultrascan shows our Baby's head, face, and upper body. You can even see the eye sockets and mouth!

Here's another photo of our Baby. The arrow is supposed to confirm that we have a daughter, but seriously, I'm not sure what to look out for there!


Dr Yang confirmed that our baby is on the "low-end" of the size scale. Apparently, during that couple of months when we were away, our Baby has not been growing as well as when we were in Singapore. I guess it could be because of the food, but anyway, what the Gynae suggest is for Sweetheart to rest more and eat more food. Hopefully our Baby can grow bigger during this final stretch!

Will be seeing Dr Yang again on 1 July to check on Baby's growth, so let's hope the week's nutrition has beefed her up!
