BABY AT 19 WEEK – 3.06.08

June 11, 2008 · Leave a Comment

My baby’s 19th weeks pictures. We can see the spine but due to baby being very active, our doctor can’t tell the gender so we have to wait for the Anmiocentesis results to come out within 2 to 3 weeks. But we saw the baby’s 4 perfect chambered heart, its active kicking limbs and her 2 palms near her face…..

I had the Amniocentesis done to check for any abnormalities since I am above 35 of age and the risk of such complications are higher for my age group. The procedure involve a long needle injected into my placenta and withdraw a certain amount of fluids to be analysed.  The results should give an accurate chromosome reading whether the baby is ok and its gender.

That day was also the first day I finally felt the Quickening (baby’s kicking and punching) in my tummy. It was a ticklish experience and I actually laughed out loud from the sensations. Both hubby & taxi driver must think that there’s something wrong with me on the ride home.
