“Booking Appointment” with the Midwife (14th week)
 |
I visited the GP twice during my 7th week and I was just expecting the GP to prepare a referral letter for me to visit the obstetrician in a hospital. I didn’t expect to obtain any consultation from him at all but I’ve been explained that the GP and midwife will jointly assist throughout my pregnancy trimesters until delivery. Should there be any complications, they will engage a consultant ie. Obstetrician/gynae. Therefore, there will be no need to consult an obstetrician at all and ultrasounds will only be conducted twice. I’m finding it a little worrying, as it seems too little monitoring compared to the fuss in KL. Maybe it is sufficient. Most of my women colleagues went through the same experience and didn’t seem to find any difficulties. Well fingers crossed.
Finally got to visit the midwife, Helen for the very first time today. It was an hour-long consultation as she took my urine samples, blood samples, weight and both Eng and my medical records. We even got to hear Camberley’s heart beat using a device called Doppler. The heartbeat was super fast and loud. Miraculous! Helen gave me a pregnancy pack to take home….ouch..more materials to read in addition to my existing thick and heavy books. Praying hard that all test results will be good.
hehehe…
i think the more you visit the GP, the more you feel anxious. so, patient! your baby camberley want to give you a surprise! take care! sis
