For The Check Up That Doesn't Cost Us A Fortune

About a week ago, I went for a check up with Prof Za at UKMSC. The check up is due for once every two months. Other than that I went for check up at local government Klinik Desa.

Upon knowing the gender of our third baby, the only thing that was in my mind is to get pregnant for the fourth time.

Papa was of course surprised and asked me why?.. The only reason I could think is that, Azalea n Dina can be a team, so our third baby need a gang also so he can make a team of his own. Papa just smiles and tell me not to worry, coz we have another 3 quota to fulfill. Uhh…come to think about it, I pray to Allah we can take a good care of all our babies.

The gynae gave us 5 printed ultrasound of our baby, of which we only recognized the head, other than that… mama pon tak tahu ape doctor print. It’s normal scan. I did request for detail scan which is 4D, but then I have to go to HUKM on Friday. Tak larat la pulak nak mengulang. And papa also doesn’t seem so interested, so I have to cancel.

This first scan, shows the size of baby head, and prof. Za did measure the size of cerebrum and cerebellum. Normal she said..
This second n third scan is confusing, this is actually the baby face yawning. But even I stress my eyes I couldn’t figure it out. But during the scan we did see the baby fingers open n closed, and he’s moving his hand to cover his face, he opened his mouth to swallow amniotic fluid… he is so active..
And last, but not least. The gender… Nampak jek this appears on the screen prof Za terus sebut gender baby… And she said Alhamdulillah several times and congratulates us. We..don’t care about the baby gender at first,as long as the baby is healthy and in good condition.. But when my MIL smsed me telling how happy she is to know I'm carrying baby BOY. My heart suddenly flips.. Yes, It’s A BOY based on the ultrasound

Note : when I told Sabiah (a colleague of mine) that maybe I should get pregnant for the fourth time. All she said was ‘ Akak nih, kalau lagi sekali girl camne? Tak de geng jugak.’ Ala…Sa nih, suka tau buat akak berpikir balik. Org dah planned baik punyer.

Note under note : I was charge about rm132 for the check up.
But I do think its worth it compared to going to other gynae.
Here’s the portion :

Consultation : RM 25 (for a specialist that is a professor, its cheap)
Ultrasound : RM 55 (for 5 printed pages, it’s worth it)
Vitamins : RM 24 (supply of obimin n calcium for 2 months)
Disposable : RM 14 (for urine test, blood test)
Lab : RM 14 (for urine, full blood count, BP n weight)

Before I know UKMSC I simply went to any gynae. Usually gynae charge is RM 50 and above. And for ultrasound only will cost around RM30 (with one printed page or no print at all). That’s why I said it’s worth it.
