flu

I'm sick again.
Since Saturday nite. felt my throat quite sore and it started from the sore throat. Think the weather too hot and maybe also I worry too much these few days.

Just went to see a GP. Got some flu medicine. Tomolo going Bintan, better get medicine 1st, in case become worse over there.

Yesterday went Mount E to see my "new" gynae. I have decided to switch my current gynae to this new gynae in Mount E. I found him very detailed.( come at a high price of coz) Did another very detail scan and his machine is very updated, have 4D scan. Look into bb's brain and all other major parts of body and organs. Found them normal. The cysts in brain still there. But what the new gynae said tally with what my previous gynae said. He felt that the bb is normal, just that happened to have the cysts, probably nothing to do with trisonmy 18. Most trisomy 18 babies are stillborn or not living past a few days/months.rarely have living case of trisomy 18.But there is no yes or no answer unless I do amino. test, which can result in a certain percentage of miscarriage. I dun wan to take the risk, i might lose a perfectly healthy bb, so i just keep my fingers crossed and wait for another 5 months for the answer.

Spent 550 bucks yesterday just for consultation and scan, but felt better after a 2nd opinion. Have decided to change gynae but have yet inform my previous clinic. This time round, i will be giving birth in Mount Alvernia instead of TMC.

Have not been able to sign up for the package yesterday, as mine case still belongs to "high risk", so have to wait another 1 or 2 consultation before i can take the package. Think will have to spent quite alot of money on my 2nd girl. But doesn't matter how much i spent, as long as she is normal and healthy. This is what money cannot buy.

what i want

I think my in laws wanted to have a grandson badly. Yesterday nite my hubby reveal that my xiao mo tou is going to have a sister. My MIL remark was "you4 shi4 yi1 ge4 nu3 de4" (another girl again). She has 3 granddaughters now, but no grandson yet. Next year she will have 4 granddaughters.Then she mentioned that "its time to change flowers" (huan4 hua1), dun know what she meant.

To me, gender is no longer important. What I want is just a healthy baby. My ideal number of children is 3. I have already told my hubby that he have to be prepare to have 3 daughters. My hubby likes daughters, so he doesn't mind. But i guess my in laws will be very disappointed.

My own parent side is ok as my girl is the 1st grandchild in the entire extended family. Only one cousin is married but no kids yet. So my girl got all the attention she want from my family side. She is like a little "xiao3 ba4 wang1", no one fight with her for anything.

As long as my baby is healthy and normal, doesn't matter girl or boy, and i dun mind having a 3rd girl, as long as she is healthy and normal.

my gloomy days

since yesterday, i cannot sleep well..keep thinking about the cysts........

This morning, I made an appointment with a gynae in Mount E. The appointment is 4dec. Have also schedule for a 2nd detail scan on the same day.

My current gynae is ok, just that I need more reassurance from another doctor's point of view. And i know this gynae in Mount E is very detail, i need a more definite confirmation.

still feeling very uncomfortable about the scanning....I guess I will only feel more secure after the consultation with the 2nd gynae.

my scary detail scan

I went for my detail scannig at TMC today and scare the hell out of me.

My baby ger got these "bilateral choroid plexuses cysts" in her brain.
right side 5.4mm x 3.3mm and left side 10.3mm x 5.6mm.

After the scan, I went to my gynae clinic to wait for my appointment with him at 4.30pm. His operating hours start 4.30pm today. Before that i went library and check up on the cysts and discover something to do with down syndrome.

After seeing my gynae, felt more assured. Before that while i was waiting, I almost want to start crying already.

My gynae say 10 years ago, the cysts are said to be related to down syndrome, but now it is proven to be more related to trisomy 18. But if the baby has trisomy 18, there will be other very obvious signs on other organs and body struture. other than the cysts thing, my baby scan on other parts of body are alright. So he say he can be 99.99percent sure that the cysts will go away by themselves by 28weeks.

with the 99.99percent assurance from him, i felt much better, but still a part of me is very worried. should i go for a second opinion? or should i go for a 2nd scan? I am thinking of going for a 2nd scan at week 24, just to make sure the cysts disappear. There are just too many questions in my mind. Does the disappearing of the cysts means that my baby is normal, will there be any side effects that cannot be detect now becoz of the cysts?
