Week 13 - Oscar Bad Scar

Dear Baby,

We went for your Oscar scan today. At first you were not in the desired position, you were lying flat on your tummy. How cute! Noob mummy goh didn't know you are turning so much in me! But no matter how cute, this was not the best position for Oscar test, Baby. Mummy goh was instructed to drink more water and eat something sweet, so we left the clinic and bought Mr Bean.

We came back to the clinic with mummy goh's super full bladder and a cooperative baby! I know I have said this many times but you are really cute...Baby! You were moving your hands, as if saying "Hi" to us! We love you so much...Baby!



Dear Baby,

Mummy goh got a call from the Oscar clinic. Your results was not very good. It showed high risk of Down Syndrome............

Baby..........mummy goh was real sad when I heard that. After so many weeks of excitement and happiness that another life is growing inside me, I cannot take such bad news.
Baby.........mummy goh loves you soooooo muchie. I cannot afford to lose you..........
Daddy goh and I know the feeling of losing an unborn child..........and we don't wish to go through the same feeling again........

We were scheduled to see Woody on Thursday evening.
As usual, Woody was very calm.
He thought us not to worry too much.
We could do the Harmony test, which is a 99% accurate blood test.
I told Woody I want to take a look at you again.
Like always, you look sooooooo cute in the ultrasound, Baby.
Even if you are not healthy, I don't think I can bear to lose you.........

The next morning, mummy goh went to Woody again to take the blood test.
My sample will be sent to USA and results will be out 2 weeks later.
I cried day and night, through the weekend.



Dear Baby,

Daddy goh was more rational. He read up on such cases (bad oscar results) and suggested we go for a detailed fetal scan at Dr Ananda's clinic. Dr Ananda specialises in detailed fetal scan. Many mummies go to him too to seek a second opinion. I agreed. I don't think I can wait for that 漫长的 2 weeks for harmony test results to come back.

Finally some happy news, Baby! You look F-I-N-E during the detailed fetal scan! Dr Ananda could not see any physical abnormalities in you and mummy goh's risk factor was brought down drastically! Both of us were so so so happy. We could finally leave for Taipei with a happier mood *sMiLeZ*



Dear Baby,

Though we had gotten a great deal of assurance from Dr Ananda, I was secretly feeling slightly uneasy . I was still anxious to know the results from the Harmony test, that's why I was so jittery whenever an unknown caller called me when we were in Taipei.

Luckily I didn't have to wait too long. On our fourth day in Taipei, I got a call from the clinic that the Harmony Test showed good results and YOU ARE A BABY GIRL! I was soooooooo relieved and happy! Thank God, thank Earth, thank Ocean, thank whichever forces around who have been helping me go through all these and finally giving me such a good piece of news.

Love you, Baby Hayley. Daddy and Mummy Goh promise to take good care of you~
