At 18+++ weeks

Hello hello :)

Alhamdulillah, we made it to the 18 weeks. Hubby and I went to see Dr Premitha for the first time at Pantai Hospital. I feel more comfortable at Pantai than DSH. So now it is the Doc. Dr Prashant thinks Dr Premitha is a good choice. Plus, they were once partners at Dr Prashant's practice before Dr Premitha moved to Pantai. A few if my friends recommended us to see Dr Premitha. So off we went to see her :)

Hubby likes her. Me? I like her too. She took her time with us, no rush and she explains well. She scanned my tummy in detail and provided the videos with the pictures in a DVD without even me asking for one :) she cares about my weight, so that is good! Same thinking as my mom, I think my mom will like her too! She thinks I can only gain a max of 13kgs throughout my pregnancy since I have a very small frame. So noted! :) most important of all, my baby is doing great. The baby is growing well and the baby has a big head since the head is the size of a 19 weeks baby! But per Dr Premitha, that is ok and by the next visit, the body will catch up and the head will grow at a slower rate.

Gender? :) hubby was in tears as the doctor made an announcement that our first born is a BOY, insyaAllah. Wow! I'm the eldest and I am girl. On my husband's side, all firstborn is a girl. So for the first time in the immediate family, the first born is a boy :) I am so excited! I am already in love with my son!!!! Dr Premitha was 100% confident that it is a boy since the balls and penis are very obvious. Our baby was showing off his body with full confidence :) i am grateful to God because so far, after what I have gone through, my baby is in pink of health and I hope he will stay that way until the full term, insyaAllah!

Our next visit to see Dr Premitha is in 4 weeks. She supplied us with some supplements which include calcium since my teeth need some extra help ;) my boy is absorbing most of my calcium!!!! Cost of our visit at Pantai is FOC, hooray! Not sure since my company is paying 100% of our medical bills, thank God!

I have emailed Dr Prashant and the gang at KL Fertility of the good news and Dr Prashant was happy with the news too! I cannot wait to see my baby and bring him out to see the world! Thank you all for reading :) I hope my story gives you hope that you too can have a child of your own, some day!
