7 Weeks 6 Days: 2nd month check up


After not being able to see baby from the last check up (17th February), i was looking forward to this appointment so much that i was practically counting down every day, every minute for the 2 weeks. I wanted to see my little bean so much and make sure that everything is ok. Believe me, when you are counting like this, time passes even slower.

Dr Wong did the 1st scan on the belly and there it is :) But baby was still too small, so Dr suggested that we do a vaginal scan to make sure that we can see the heartbeat. Boy! I was so so so nervous. But thank God, baby's heartbeat is there and we can see the little sac pulsing away. Baby measures 8.8 mm at this point, but Dr says it's only an approximation. I would also think the scan is just an estimate, cos the imaging keeps refreshing and the doctor tries her best to capture the best shot, so there could be a little margin of error there. 8.8 mm is even smaller than my little nail.
Planning next visit in mid-April. What a long wait again ..
