First pregnancy test was done on 26 August 2009 (Wednesday) and as it was my first time seeing a different result appearing on the test kit, I was not sure. Decided to tell Perry anyway. Took another test the next day and took a photo of it. Maricel, our friend and nurse, told me it's positive. I felt dizzy with excitement but still I want to really make sure. We made an appointment with a Dr Imad from Al Noor Hospital that very morning.
Dr Imad made us wait for 2 hours in the waiting area. The administrator guy was apologetic but assured that we were the first patient, once the doctor comes in from his surgery. I was dizzy, nervous, scared, excited and hungry! My bladder was filling up, I could feel it. We were almost giving up as there were no signs of the doctor and am starting to get moody. I am not that friendly when my stomach is empty.
The doctor walked in hastily but 2 local arabic women stood up and see him. Patience, patience. Waited for the ladies to go out about less than 10 minutes later. Doctor did an ultrasound on my abdomen area, could not find anything. Then he reached out for a long stick, put gel and condom over it and asked me to remove my undergarments. I found out later that this is called a transvaginal or internal ultrasound. The doctor found the little fetus which looked like a little mole on the screen. He measured the fetus and told us that our baby is 4 weeks and a day old, on the right track (meaning growing in the right place of the uterus) and I have a healthy and clean ovary.
We're coming back in two weeks to listen to our baby's heartbeat. Super excited!
