28 weeks checkup

Thursday, January 15, 2009

Today daddy mummy woke up very early around 6 plus just to get ready to the hospital for mummy's glucose test. However, they didn't know that mummy need to fast before the blood test. Thus, mummy took half a cup of milk before going to the hospital and the test cannot be proceed. They were so unhappy that their midwife didn't inform them the procedure before the test. They had to wait for another 1 hour for the checkup appointment in the hospital. Since they were here one hour earlier, they were the first to see the midwife when the clinic opened!

The midwife Jessica checked up mummy's blood pressure, my size and heartbeat. Everything went well. Fundal height is 28cm. Jessica said it is a good size. For 28 weeks pregnancy (actually should be end of 28 weeks), the measurement is around 27-31cm. I am growing well. My position is head down now and my back is facing the same side as mummy's back. When Jessica tried to hear my heart beat using her monitor, I kicked the monitor away! Midwife, dad and mum were laughing when they saw that happen. Mummy thought it could be I know that Jessica was pointing on my feet then my heart.

Mummy has to go back to the hospital for the glucose test again on Monday. Then in 3 weeks time, we will see the doctor for futher checkup.
