Went for my 2nd check up last sat. Baby is doing fine. Is already 12 weeks old, and 6cm in length and I am now officially into my 2nd trisemester.
Asked Dr a few questions - on delivery packages, jauntice, accelerated heart beat. Dr. BK Tan answered all my questions, giving into detail on terms & conditions for the delivery package here in Selangor Medical Centre, i.e. what other additional charges they will charge me, etc...
Now, Dr. BK Tan has actually given us an option - to go for blood test for risk of baby having down syndrome. The test does not confirm whether the baby will be a down syndrome baby. All it does is actually to say if it is high-risk or low-risk. If low-risk, then I am safe for the possibility is actually 1 in every 600 woman, especially women that are of older age. If high-risk, then I need to go for another test (that is to test the water in my uterus,I think) for a confirmation.
I am in a dilemma - Should I go for this test (which cost about RM 200) or should I just pray that my baby will be normal and wait till delivery ? I think I should go for the test. But I am afraid somehow... I dunno ....
Confuse, confuse ....
