Heartbeat

After almost a week of going through a hard time of asking for an appointment with my OB-Gyn I was finally able to get through yesterday.

I am pregnant.

Now to recount my first OB trip... oh wait, how did i know, the usual pregnancy test. Doc says its 98-100% reliable... so i thought I really must be. I have been delayed for 2 months now... and the last straw that really made me check, was when my ma and I went to the market and everything went.... omg! I think I'm going to faint... so there. I bought a pregnancy test kit and tested morning after. And, as they say, the rest is history.

Now, back to the OB visit. My Ma and I (I asked her to come with me) went to Quirino Doctors, at last, Dr. Darleen San Jose- Estuart is there to see patients. Thank you Lord, there is a reprieve in the delivery of babies.. ;)

Ha! So there, I arrived about 3PM and I have never seen too many pregnant women in one room. Hahaha... I wonder? It's an OB Gynecology clinic... hahaha... Saw different pregnant women, there were fat ones, kinda skinny ones, a very very pregnant one... a lady who I think recently just gave birth... Oh... too many pregnant woen around... huhuh... And suddenly I missed my honey... I wish he was there to hold my hand while waiting for the doc.

Then came mama nearly 4pm... We still have to wait about 30 minutes for our turn... The secretary weighed me at about 113lbs Before I went in the doctor's office (inner doc's office).

Maybe it was usual doc's routine to ask questions... was it my first... (damn of course it's my first, I wouldn't be this nervous if it were not!), My age, family medical history and stuff.. Then the OB aske dmy about my last period. She then told me the happy news, that I'm expected to give birth around Aug 1, 2007 That should be the last day of the whole term but 3 weeks before that I may deliver. phew!

Doc then asked me to lie on a small examination table in order to hear the heartbeat of the baby... oh, so you can actually hear it, eh? So there I lay my head down, and opened my pants, just above the garter of my panties, Got her apparatus, applied some gel on it and pointed to me where the baby should be at this time... then of all the miracles I heard, a strong beating of the heart, and the doc lovingly said there... that's the baby.

Oh gosh... Heartbeat. I have never been so happy to hear heartbeats before... if only Bow's there to hear it. I'll try to record it next time.. :D
