Week 16.

Went for a check up today and glucose blood test.

Have to be 2 hours earlier to take a glucose drink to challenge my system. Then wait 2 hours. After that, take blood test.

Why this test?

According to the gynae, to measure the amount of glucose in the blood right at the time of sample collection. It is used to detect help diagnose diabetes.

Nothing else was done and the gynae chose to let me listen to the baby's heartbeat through clinical doppler.

He said, This is how the baby's heartbeat looks like.....

I said, I listen to this almost every other night lar....

Gynae: Huh, how do you listen to the heartbeat when this doppler cost more than a thousand??

me: I bought 1 thru ebay mar, cost less than RM300..plus shipping some more...

nurses: Hah? what is ebay???!!???

conversation continues......

There it goes, how technology still buffers certain people.. While we techies searches the internet for the latest gadgets for pregnancy, there are still people out there rely heavily on doctors to check or know whether the baby is doing well or not.

Thanks to the doppler that I'd bought. I can now check whether the baby is doing well or not anytime whenever I want. hehe
