She's a girl per the scan and aminocentesis report.
Since 16/3 after the FA scan we have found out the baby will be a girl.
Both myself and Mark are delighted as we would like to have a girl in our NEST.
However, the most important issue is the baby is HEALTHY.
Now i have a SON and DAUGTHER as well as a lovely HUBBY which complete my WORLD.

Discovery of Baby No. 2
Was feeling unwell hence went to see family doctor thinking i'm down with diarrhea or virus infection. Probably have too much of good stuffs during the holiday seasons. Once again, i challenaged the doctor that i can't be pregnant. However, the urine test proofed me WRONG.
Not only i'm pregnant but pregnant for almost two months.
Test done at Camry Clinic @ Toa Payoh

Ultra sound Scan @ Dr CH Koh Clinic on 26 Jan 10
Above show that baby was 12 weeks big. Scan show the back of the baby.
Ultra sound Scan @ Dr CH Koh Clinic on 01 Mar 10Went for Amniocentesis test, the scan show that the baby was very active. Keep moving from side to side.
Amniocentesis Test on 01st March
What is Amniocentesis?
Amniocentesis is a specialised diagnostic test that involves taking a sample of amniotic fluid from your uterus (womb) and examining it in the laboratory to see whether your baby has any serious abnormalities. It's a diagnostic test, which means that it can tell you with almost complete certainty whether or not your baby has got a particular condition. It can also reveal the sex of your baby.
How is it performed?
You will be asked to lie down on an examination couch. Using ultrasound for guidance, your doctor will identify a pocket of amniotic fluid a safe distance from your baby and the placenta. She will then insert a long, thin, hollow needle through your abdominal wall and into the sac of fluid around your baby. You can choose to have your abdomen numbed first with a local anaesthetic, but this isn't usually necessary (RCOG 2006). With the special long needle, the doctor withdraws a small amount of amniotic fluid; about two tablespoons. This fluid contains cells from your baby, chemicals, and micro-organisms that can answer many questions about your baby's health. Guiding the needle to the right position using the ultrasound scan can take up to 20 minutes. Inserting the needle and withdrawing the amniotic fluid takes only about five minutes. Once the needle is out, you may have some tummy cramps. In about one in every 12 procedures, not enough fluid is collected on the first try and the needle has to be re-inserted (RCOG 2006).

Does it hurt?
If you have been advised to drink a lot of water before your amniocentesis to ensure that the ultrasound picture is clear, you might find the procedure uncomfortable. Women say that they feel a sharp stinging feeling as the needle goes in and pressure as the needle is withdrawn (RCOG 2006). However, everyone experiences the procedure differently and it may feel different with one pregnancy than with another.

How do i feel?
Honestly, quite uneasy as hubby not around to go through this with me. Was tensed up when the needle goes under skin as felt a sharp stinging feeling even after hours. The procedure only lasted for 5mins. I started to feel better when the doctor show me the baby's ultra sound scan where the little ones keep turning here and there. Haha very active baby.
When the result available?
According to the doc, it should be available within 21 days from today. So my next appointment will be on 26th March. Hence, make a guess the baby is a girl or boy. To me, most importantly the baby is healthly.

Besides, his concentration and attention skills, Ian is seen to be putting in more effort to complete his tasks when given. For example, he would take an effort to colour the whole page of the worsheet or book, instead of colouring only a small part of the picture in term 1.
Although Ian concentration and attentino skills have improved, at times he may need some assistance to complete tasks. For example, when teacher asks him what he should do for the worksheet, he is able to tell verbally what he should write or colour. However, when the teacher leaves him alone to complete the worksheet, he is not able to follow what he told teacher he should do. When teacher sits down with him, he is able to complete the worksheet by himself.
