First Visit to Gyane - Part 2

After couples of minutes, we are called to meet the doctor for the first time. From her name, Dr. Zovi, I am assuming she must be an indian lady (dark skin). But when I first saw her, I am in a shock. She looks like Chinese.

What do you mean by look like Chinese? Ya, she looks like but she is not. She is Indian... okok.. a bit off topics.. :P

OK, finally start on the checkout, started with some questions which had been ask mostly by the nurse prior to the checkout. I wonder why she need to ask again.

Then she calculates the expected delivery date, which is on 18th of July 2008. How to calculate? Easy. Here is the formula.

Expected delivery date = (Day of last period + 7),(Month of last period +
9),year

Examnple, my wife last period is at 11th October 2007, so

Expected delivery date = Day(11+ 7), Month(10 + 9),year = 18th July 2008


After those paper work, start with the actual checkout. She asked my wife to go behind the curtain for checkout. I am leaving behind sitting by the table. Waiting........ What happen behind the curtain, I don't know. I guess would be taken off pants and lie down for the checkout.

After couples of minutes, I started to get frustratedfrustrated as I thought I can get to see what had been done and to see how my baby look like for the first time. But I had left behind for sometime. I thought I won't be able to go in.

But finally, I heard my wife call my name.. HOREY!!... horey I am getting so excited as I can go in now!!!!!

Same as what I expected, my wife lying down on the bed, with both legs hanging on the supporter (on the orange color part in the pics below).



And the doctor ask me to look at the screen, and said "This is your baby. You saw this... that...... " while poiting on the screen. She is moving "something" under the cover to get a better view on the baby. I can't see anything as my wife's bottom is covered by bed sheet.

After that, I ask if i can take the photo of my baby. To my surprise, she said just go ahead. So here is the first picture of my baby.



Previously I had seen some photo about the baby development from conceive until deliver. So I try to do a comparison as the below photo. One is the illustration and another one is the actual shot from the ultra sound image.



More on the missing part on what had been done behind the curtain and what is the "something" the doctor is using to view the baby. Stay tune.
