Seems like a long time since I last felt excited about going to Dr Ho. Finally, today the feeling will be different as Hubby is backed from his trip and thus, will be going with me for my routine checkup. Yippee!!!
We greeted the nurses with the most cheerful “Good Morning” upon entering the clinic but everyone seems gloomy including Dr Ho. Guess they must be expecting a busy day ahead as I overheard the nurses saying that Dr Ho has a couple of induction deliveries today. After the routine measuring of my weight and blood pressure, I handed in my home-monitoring glucose test homework for Dr Ho to access. Hope that he will find the results satisfactory enough to reduce my monitoring to once a week. Pricking my fingers 7 times a day for 2 consecutive days per week is really no joke leh.
The scan was a quick one to check Kaeden’s heartbeat and size. His weight now is at 1.830 kg which Dr Ho commented that it’s good. I am asked to do up a daily fetal movement chart to monitor Kaeden’s condition by counting the number of movements he makes in a day. Sounds complicated to me but guess will just have to go ahead. Well, the good news is that my home-monitoring glucose test is reduced to once per week… so happy!
Oh and before I forget... first time in history, we don’t have to pay a single cent for today checkup! Haha... isn’t today worth commemorating?

Baby No 1: Week 29 & Day 1
This visit is the most dreadful one to me. Other than having to stay in the clinic all by myself from 8.30 am – 5.00 pm, I still have to do the finger-prick blood test for 5 times to monitor my glucose level at different intervals. However, my mood was slightly lifted up upon thinking that hubby would finally be home this week!
As much as I kept reminding myself to be strong, I couldn’t help bursting into tears several times after the blood test. I prayed to God asking for courage and strength to keep me going through the day and it took me quite a while before I managed to calm down.
It was close to 5.00 pm before I got to see Dr Ho. He was pleased with the overall result and thus has decided that home-monitoring is sufficient for me. That means I wouldn’t have to self-inject myself with insulin!!! This piece of news really cheers me up and I left the clinic with a smile on my face.
