I am back from BKK alive and well.... ermmm actually not so well....
I had some spotting while I was in BKK. Initially I thought that the spotting will cease after a day and some rest. However it persisted for 2 days.... I read that spotting may not be something alarming but after two days, I decided that I should make a call to my gynea for confirmation. Dr Kee was worried and advised me to get myself checked by a local gynae in BKK.
Wanida brought me to their local private hospital, which I think is equivalent to our Raffles Hospital, for the checkup. It would had been difficult if not for Wanida who helped me to translate the questions and answers to the nurses and doctor (although the Doctor spoke perfect English). I had to ask the Doctor the same question twice before he could get what I was asking. In the end he told me that I just needed to have more rest and all would be fine.
Before the Doctor performed the ultrasound on me, I had to drink an entire bottle of water. The water is to make my bladder full so that the intenstines will not rest on my womb. That way he could be able to perform the scan and see things in a better view. It was a torture to drink that entire bottle of water down. After half a bottle I felt like vomitting. However unlike in Singapore where I paid almost 80 bucks for the consultations and scans. In BKK, I paid the same amount for almost 64 pictures of scans in a CD ROM! Hahah I was shocked that there were so many scans pictures that he had given to me. Hmmmm wonder how much will I need to pay for the same amount of scan pictures in Singapore.
When I am back in Singapore, I headed over to Dr Kee's clinic for another checkup. Actually I was due for this second checkup but the spotting kind of persisted and with Dr Kee's advice, I went for the checkup. The consequence was another 100 bucks burnt and a painful bottom. Yes... he gave me a jab to stablise the pregnancy he said its for just in case. Ouch! It ache a lot after the jab but there was no more spotting after that.
Dr Kee even asked if I am still having morning sickness and if I am its a good indication that the baby is growing well. In fact I am feeling horrible each day! But knowing that if I feel horrible and bb is growing well, it makes it more bearable. Oh, bb has also grown from 0.34cm to 2.40cm within 3 weeks. The heartbeat also have increased from 118 bpm to 176bpm! That is really fast isn't it?
I also finally informed my parents about it. I was kind of expecting some reaction with this news but my mother was like huh? oh ok loh..... Arrgghhh ahahhaa. When I questioned why she did not have any reaction, she asked me what did I expect. hmmmm... I was expecting her to tell me to take care and not to fly anymore. I also also kind of waiting for her to scold me for flying despite my condition. But she said its ok to fly.. I almost fainted! hahaha... Well that is my mum.
Now we left with informing his parents when we go over for dinner one of these days... hmmm what will their reaction be?
