I saw the image of the baby within me for the first time yesterday. The little tike's heartbeat was beating really fast and we could even see the baby moving its limbs! The whole experience felt kind of surreal even though I have been through it 3 times before.
I must admit that I was a bit anxious prior to the consultation as there have been comments that my big belly could mean that I was carrying twins! The fact that my sis-in-law dreamt that I had twin boys last year didn't help! So it was a bit of a relieve when the ultrasound scan revealed only 1 baby!
Unfortunately, my doctor didn't prescribe anything for my gas and indigestion and told me to adjust my meal portions and habits to find out what works and what doesn't! A bit impractical I think, since I'm practically eating around the clock, I wouldn't really know what agrees with me and what doesn't; what is the char koay teow 2 hours ago, or maybe the sambal in the nasi lemak just now was a bit off and I didn't realise it? Maybe the pear is giving me gas? Get my drift?
Oh well, I just hope it will all pass soon because the doctor told me that I'm actually 10 and a half weeks into my pregnancy which means 2 more weeks and I would have crossed my 1st trimester. Hopefully by then, I'd be feeling much better.
By the way, my official due date is 1st January 2010!
