I am 19 week and 3 day pregnant now.
Pretty look forward to this day for detail scan to see baby again. The scan is similar to the detail scan done during week 12 in KK ADC, this time round it is under another female doctor who looks more senior and experienced.

Luckily KKH allows hubby to sit in throughout the whole scanning process, but the sonographer did not allow us to video it. She started by scanning baby's heart, wow it is pumping really fast! Then she went on to check and measure different parts of baby : the head, spines, lips, abdomen (to see stomach, kidneys, bladder and cord insertion), chest, limbs, blood blows, amniotic fluid etc etc. During the process i think i could see the baby sticking out the tongue, very cute :D
When the sonographer wanted to check the nose, one of the baby's hands is covering the face, the sonopraher asked me to have a toilet break then come back to room 3 to scan again. But after the toilet break, sonographer still cannot get to see the baby's face clearly cos baby now facing down, like swimming. Haha, so no choice she asked us to take 30 mins break, go for breakfast then come back again.
3rd round of scan, finally manage to get all done, and the sonographer concluded all is ok then we quickly paid up ($85) and proceed to TPS to see our gynae Doc Benjamin. The gynae seem to be rather concerned on the Thalassaemia result, he asked to arrange another medical consultation with Doc Angeline Lai, a genetic dctor to ensure we made an informed decicion about all possibilities on the baby's blood, though he assured us the baby will still be a minor carrier, i am very worried cos i might need to go through amnio test :(
Anyway now cannot do much about it, just have to keep praying and see what the genetic doctor says on the next appointment 23rd Nov.
The whole visit took more than 4 hours this time, but the process is very memorable. The day before we went for the scan, we kept telling baby to co-operate during the scan to let us see if the baby is a boy or gal. Baby seems to hear us :) During the scan, it did not take much effort for sonographer to find the right angel to check the baby's genital. The most magical moment has finally arrived - when doctor move the camera to see the baby legs, the angle is like viewing the baby's buttock, she shown us something in between the baby' legs, it was clearly a baby boy!
This is one of the scan photos given to us.
Baby weighs about 315gram now.
