The 8th and first prenatal check-up in Malaysia....

I thought that i could put it of for a few days after arriving in Msia...but since my father was urging me to get it over with and that they were already on leave i finally said okay.... so after my dad came back from getting my sis signed up for her to get her driving licence we left for bandar baru bangi....

the initial idea was to go to Az-Zahra Islamic Medical Centre but my mom said that one of her staff gave birth at An-Nur Specialist Hospital and she decided that i should get checked there.... so we went to An-Nur...which was actually just a few doors away from Az-zahra...jalan sama lagi hahaha.... anyway An-Nur ni dia dah bahagikan klinik2 dia so in Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic was seperate from the Specialist Clinic and the peads clinic and what not which was a relief for me... at Az-Zahra everyone is in the same waiting room like a normal hospital.... bukannya ape... it kinda makes me feel better and  the probabilty of getting sick from sitting in the waiting room is lower kot... the only thing that makes me miss Koishi is that they had a special daycare room for kids that moms bring so the waiting room is nice and quiet kan...well at An-nur the kids were running around and driving their parents crazy....hihi

An-Nur Specialist Hospital

Az-Zahra Islamic Medical Centre

Anyway I got assinged to Dr Fatimah and there was the usual bp, urine and weight check-up... well you know how we get used to technology and makes you kinda forget the basics...well i'm used to electronic weighing scales and what they used at an-nur was this

a manual weighing scale where u have to move the little weights until the weights become level....

i was apprehensive before the check-up...imagining that the nurses would be garang and all...but i was surprised....everyone was nice...and the doc reminds me of one of my bestfriends mum...and unlike Dr. Koishi in Japan she explained everything well and thouroughly..and when she did the ultarsound she called Ari over and explained the pic to him in great detail since it was his frist time actually seing me get an ultrasound...and yeswe confirmed baby's gender again...haaa...kali ni i understood what i was seeing...thanks Dr. Fatimah...

after the ultrasound the doc said she might change the baby's due date since baby was big..saying that the doc in Japan probably miss calculated....haaaaa...tatau lah ..tunggu next check-up for new due date... and she ordered a glucose tolerence test (the dreaded one were you have to puasa n then take a blood test and then drink a glucose drink and take another blood test) because diabetes runs in my family.... won't know the results till next check-up though....

anyway this is baby's latest ultrasound
