We already in Fetal Medicine & Gynaecology Centre (FMGC) waiting for our turn to see Dr. Patrick Chia..
The moment of the truth...
I've handed Dr. Patrick the referal letter from Dr. Asmah that was actually meant for Prof P.C Tan..Some medical jargons like polyhidramnios, IUGR were stated there..(Actually they were no longer jargons to me as we already made our own research beforehand..)
Dr. Patrick did the scanning job on my tummy, again..He never left us in the dark while he dedicatedly doing his job.. He took all the opportunity to explain and showed us whatever on his discovery side..
The shocking findings..
clenched hands..relatively small in size..small abdominal circumference.. Too many things to absorb in a second..I just cant help myself from crying..
But I have to be strong and face it..for my little baby..
Dr. Patrick suggested me to undergo a procedure called 'amniocintesis'.. The purpose was to confirm wether or not my baby is having some cromosoms abnormality based on the signs that SHE has showed on the scan results..
Yes our little angel is a GIRL!! ..And we agreed to undeergo the procedure..
A long tiny needle was poked into my tummy to take some amount of my amniotic fluids..Yes, I couldn't beleive myself that I was that brave to go through the procedure..But again, I have to be strong for our little precious..
He advised us to be prepared mentally and phisically for all the possibilities..Base on his experiences, there is a highly chance that our little baby is suffering from the cromosoms abnormality..
If it's so, that will lead to 3 other possiblities, which are:
abnormality in cromosom 21: my baby could suffered from Down Syndrome..
abnormality in cromosom 18: my baby could suffered from Edward Syndrome..
abnormality in cromosom 13: my baby could suffered from Patau Syndrome..
Ya Allah, this is too much to handle..I barely can take it..Please Ya Allah, give me whatever strenght to uphold with this situations..Please Ya Allah, may the results turn out good..Nothing happened to this baby of mine..
I was given 2 days medical leave as was explained by Dr. Patrick earlier, the procedure that I've gone through can lead to miscarriage or premature labor..and, the results will be informed in 2 days time..
Only Allah knows how I wished I can push the time to tick faster..
to be continued..
