Detail Scan @ week 20

We went for our detail scan last Monday. We were very excited to see Pororo once again. Just in case he was not in the correct position, we purposely walked the overhead bridge (instead of underpass) after lunch, back to TMC. Never did we know that the little naughty boy decided to act all shy again.

That particular ultrasound room had only one screen. :( Thus, I was not able to see what was going on inside me. Dear managed to see a little, but he could not figure out exactly what the lady was scanning. The only obvious organ he knew was the little heart, pumping blood, with healthy 4 chambers and vessels. :) The lady did everything she could and leaving the face scan last.. coz Pororo was buried deep down inside me, with the back facing out. The best she could do was a side profile scan. So, in order not to waste time, she asked me to go for a walk (about 30 mins) and return for another scan.

I did that.. and the 2nd scan she took some pictures and asked us to wait for the printouts... just as we were waiting and thought that everything was over, the lady came out again and decided to scan again.. to get clearer and better images. Ok.. so I went in for a 3rd scan and Pororo was still in the same cozy corner. (>.<) I could feel that the lady was getting a little bit impatient. Little Pororo just don't budge. So in the last attempt to shift the little one, she asked me to climb up the scan table and go on all fours and do butt shaking for 5 mins and she left the room to us as she knew that butt shaking was a little embarassing. LOL. She came in after that and he was still the same! Frustration in me build up...as I didnt know exactly what's going on. She was frustrated too. A lot of time was wasted on me and my little one. I was tired. Luckily in the end, she managed to scan his nose and lips while I laid sideways.

I headed on to see Dr Wong after getting the detail scan results and she explained to me some of the medical terms used in the report. In general, I am gaining weight and baby is absorbing the nutrients well. Dr Wong commented that Pororo was a little big headed. She will monitor his weight... so that I wont get so tough to push him out at the end of the pregnancy. I need to eat more to gain weight for myself... as well as to monitor my blood pressure as it is getting lower and lower. 93/56. There's nothing that she could do... and hope that by gaining weight, it will naturally bring up my bp. I just hope that my little one dont gain so much then!

Alright, last milestone hit~~ From now onwards, I just need to stay happy and healthy for the little one and await for his arrival. :)

Last but not least, let me show you the side profile pic of little Pororo. :) I thought he was blowing bubbles... but Dr Wong said that the round thing was actually cross section of the umbilical cord. :)
