20 Weeks - Anomaly Scan (T2 Scan) (5 May 2017)

Hubby and I arrived at 9:00 a.m. in Metro IVF, Puchong branch for the second trimester screening. We had to do the screening earlier before we see doctor Tee Swi Peng. We met with Sonographer at the point the lift door was opened and got to know that she was waiting for the nurse to open the clinic. After 5-10 mins of waiting, the nurse came and opened the door for us. 

As usual, the first thing was to take urine test. It's tested fine. Then I took weight 56 kg. Then we started the T2 screening.  First, the Sonographer checked the baby's position which is head down, then she revealed the baby's gender, it's a boy and showed us the "bird bird". She checked the amniotic fluid is enough and there still has room for baby to grow. Cervix is ok and baby weights 341 g.

The sonographer said baby sleeps with cross hands and it's a bit hard for her to do some scanning. She called baby to remove his hands, seems like baby doesn't listen to her 😂. Then she scanned baby's fingers and toes 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5... After that, the sonographer started to do some technical scanning, heart rate 150bpm, head size 4.83cm, body 14.89cm, spine, nose, mouth, kidney, left hand, right hand, left leg, right leg and etc.   

Conclusion, baby was growing healthy and the EDD remains the same as previous scanning, it's on 20-Sept-17. The whole scanning took about 25 mins to complete and I felt a bit uncomfortable during the scanning.  

Doctor Tee Swi Peng usually comes in to the clinic at 10:30 a.m. Sometimes he'll comes in late maybe because of the traffic jam or he has an embryos retrieval appointment or other operations.    

I'd waited around 45 mins to see doctor Tee. Again doctor Tee did a basic ultrasound to check baby's heart beating, head size, hands and legs. Then he read the summary report   of the T2 scanning, he commented baby's growing healthy and advice to consume maternal milk, eat more vegetables, fruits and protein.
