We went to the good doctor again, and I was happy to be able to go inside with Thao to see Katie moving and hear the heartbeat. This time we only got a black and white ultrasound (2D), because Thao said that in another 2 weeks we would go to a different doctor for a more thorough check in 4D ultrasound.
Everything is still fine, actually she is 1 week ahead of schedule!
Due Date: Feb 28, 2010
Gestational Age: 20 weeks 1 day (since LMP)
Weight: 394g (over 2x the size in one month!)
Heartrate: 155 bpm
Mommy's weight: 54kg (+2.5 kg)
Now Thao's turn to type :)
Wowowoww..... I waited for so long and now today when i lay down to rest after lunch i see the baby kicking once very strong... So happy, cant say anything, she must be a very active and naughty girl. Actually i see the baby started to move inside my tummy since last week. It is the first time so i dont have any experience but read alot on baby website so i know how the baby moves, yes its something like the plastic balloon breaking or like the fish is moving the tail... something like that.
Last time 4 weeks ago when i went to ultrsound the doctor said the baby is a bit small coz i couldnt eat much, but this time the docter said that "Oh, the baby is bigger than normal baby in this age. Aha, westen baby that is why" that made me so so happy.
One thing still make me worry.... i dont know if i should go for needle.... that some kind of sick the baby easy to get virus through the cord inside belly... i dont know what is that kind of sick.....In here most pregnant moms go to do that but from what i read some moms have troubles after do needle, like the baby died inside.... But already one Vietnamese friend from US warned us not to get that needle, because 2 of his cousins lost their babies after that... OMG, that really scared me... I ask Kyle to check with sister Muriah if in western they have to do that...
Im starting searching what to shoping for baby... Too many things have to buy but i dont know what is good for the baby. And i dont know yet in end of Feb still hot or cold. Some time its still very cold, sometime its still very hot so i think i should still buy both kind of clothes for my Katie, warm clothes and summer clothes...
Oh, the baby next door now always comes here and ask me to take care of her when the grandmom is busy. Her name is Bong. Her mom is working outside all day early morning till very later at night. Seems she has bf out side. The baby is nice but its summer here and hot so most of the baby not always wear diaper at home (just when they go out side), so bad thats why she pee all the time on my floor when she is here... once she pee on the couch too. Humm, im so tired to clean up pee like that. Of course i hope i can learn some experience from taking care of this baby sometime but i need now is learn from new baby born, not really want to learn from BONG (10months aready), hehee....
Hi Thao!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to hear about you and baby K-T. Are you talking about the flu shot? Here in Canada it is very important for all prego women to get the flu shot. I get mine every year even when I was carrying Logan in my tummy. Our flu shots are very safe and they say everyone in Canada is safe to get one unless you have allergy to eggs ---if you have that allergy then you can get an allergic reaction but besides that it is safe. I think the flu shots must be regulated? Make sure it is a 'real' flu shot and needle is new and you should be fine. But if you are too stressed then just wash your hands a lot and don't worry too much.

hugs from all of us here!
Muriah
Hey Thao,glad to hear from you again. According to Muriah is flu shots..we never have that here..Happy for you that your babe is good and healthy keep it up! ...cheerios..
ReplyDeleteHugs and kisses
hey my 2 sisters Muriah and Ling. Thank you for always caring me and our lil girl Katie. In VN, before get pregnant the woman should do needle with some kind of like... rubella, measles, mumps... And during pregnancy u have to get tetanus needle (2 times) and flu vaccine. But me i never do anything before even now. Now ppl around say that pregnant woman have to do tetanus (kind of sick that the new baby easy to get sick from the belly button or cord of the baby coz when the baby born, in the air is not so clean so easy to get sick,this danger something like that..) but i really scared coz i also hear so many troubles when the woman do it and the baby stop breathing and die from inside ...OMG. So i dont know what to do. I think the best is NO NEEDLES. Do both you think so?
ReplyDeleteu shd find out wht type of needles? rubella i took b4 pregnant..that will not affect ur babe.
ReplyDeleteAt first i thought u r goin to do amniocentesis for the babe. This will be required for woman over age 35,to find for any abnormalities on the babe such as down syndrome. (I did it as i carried Jared as i was 35 yrs old tht time). Other than that, i didnt go for any needles during pregnancy..that isnt practised here..
