Second visit to the gynae

Yesterday was my second visit to the gynae. He did an ultrasound scan again and I saw my baby for the second time! It has grown bigger compared to the last visit, but all along I thought I was week 7 this week, but the gynae yesterday measured the baby and told me I am at 6 weeks 3 days. -_-" Which is why I've decided to not put the weeks/days in my blog titles until I am more sure how old it really is.

Anyway yesterday I heard my baby's heartbeat! :) It was really fast but I was so glad to hear it beating fast and strong!

Told the doc I feel quite nauseous at times and there is this dull ache at my sternum (right in the middle of my chest below my breasts) before and after food. He said it's just bloatedness and it'll probably last all the way till week 12 (if I'm lucky enough it stops after week 12).

So doc gave me utrogestan (progesterone pills) which I absolutely hate but he says I have to continue eating them until week 12. >_< he also gave me folic acid.

The bill yesterday came up to $171.20. So 2 visits already cost more than $350...this is probably not the most budget way to do this. The consultation is $60, ultrasound scan is $60, utrogestan is $30 and folic acid is $10 and all these not including GST.

Yesterday's visit with the gynae was somewhat more hurried, maybe because I chose the night timing and there were quite a number of patients waiting to see him. Anyway yup shall see how things go and decide whether I wanna stick to this one. Next visit is in 3 weeks' time! :)
