Cranky Domestic Goddess

Alright, this morning I dreaded to wake up. I was awake the whole time in fact, agonizing the thought about the visit to the gynae. Finally at 9am, my hubby’s alarm went off. So, I slowly dragged my butt out of the bed and took a slow walk down the stairs to join my hubby and boy for breakfast. Yeah, everything was ready on the table. I just needed to open my mouth and stuff them down my throat!

At 10.30am, we drove to the clinic. Hubby and boy waited at the lounge while I went into the midwife’s office for the usual stuff like hemoglobin check, weight measurement and urine test. Hemoglobin was by the border - not very good but still OK! Weight wise, I seemed to have only gained 300gm over a month - still OK - gynae was happy I didn’t gain the weight of a whale. Urine test - pass with flying colors, as usual! Then the moment of terror arrived - cervix check! I hate how she stuck her finger into “u know where”. I just hate that feeling! Anyway, it’s an inevitable process. So, no point grousing over it. Then, she pressed my huge belly to feel the baby. After that, we listened to the baby’s heartbeat - normal 140! It lightened me up when I could hear my baby’s heartbeat. A moment of joy! I’m sure every mommy would enjoy After, we had a small nice chat and Q&A. Thirty minutes later, I was released from her room! Phheewwww … what a relief!

A dreadful appointment turned out well!
