This day marked my first checkup in PPUM. Husband was with me the whole process. I'm glad that he took time off to be with me and BB. We reached around 8.10am and found a group of people waiting to be called for checkup. Hmm, we are abit late, ha ha. Took a number and it doesn't take long time to be called. I handed my IC and husband's IC for registration. We wait and wait for them to call us again. Paid RM31 for reg fee and RM500 for delivery deposit.Hmm, that would mean I've secured a place in PPUM and my BB.
Next, I'm asked to wait at another waiting room where they measured my height, weight, urine, blood pressure and blood test. I was told that they will test my blood for HIV. Sounds scary! And the nurse interviewed me for my medical history. I then proceeded to drink a cup of the sugar water for Glucose Challenge Test (GCT). I had to wait for an hour after that to take out my blood samples.
I went into the room for checkup. She asked me lots of question about myself and my pregnancy. She's trying to understand my health background and also to figure out the due date for my BB. A pap smear test was done. It is not comfortable at all and at this moment, I knew that labour pain is much and much more painful. Can't turn back time, I guess.
They did not perform the ultrasound scan that day. I was a bit worried that I did not feel BB's movement. To ease my mind, the doc used a manual machine and place a tube on my stomach and the next thing I heard, "dup, dup, dup, dup, dup". The doc said my BB's heartbeat is normal. Hubby said all he heard is a very noisy environment with the dup dup sound. Ha ha ha, of course la, BB is in waterbag now!!!!
After the checkup, I went to collect the supplements, paid the checkup fees and took blood samples. My next checkup, 29 July 2009.
