Our baby journey (11+3)

Went for the 4th gynae visit again yesterday. Baby's doing ok, even bounced a bit while we were doing the scan. :)

I've scheduled my Oscar test to be on 20th August. The Oscar test costs about $300 and will test for trisomy 13, 18 and 21. Fingers crossed and hope the little one will be ok.

I realised that my gynae is actually quite budget. Each visit consultation is $60, each scan (with photo) is also $60. I've heard of some gynaes consultations and scans being $80 or $100. One mummy even told me her scans cost $155 per time.

Dr Tan also didn't give me many vitamins to take during the first trimester. Folic acid is relatively cheap at $10 a box and it's about a 2 weeks' supply. Utrogestan is more expensive at $30 per box but it is so yucky I stopped taking that myself (I really couldn't take it anymore).

Excited to see the baby at my next visit 2 weeks later. And I can't wait for the night sickness to stop completely.
