Journey into Parenthood Part 11 :
Fourth month check-up:
Fourth month check-up was on 21st
April. First Dr. Manu's
assistant Dr. Rekha did a check-up and told me both the foetuses were fine.
Madam was also very kind and explained everything in detail like Dr. Manu. She felt
the placenta was still lying low but to confirm I underwent an ultrasound again
with Dr. Ravichandrika. In the 4th month a scan is usually never done, but
since I was very anxious they did the scan with special concern and I wasn’t
billed for it.
Placenta had not moved. Dr. Manu told
me all other parameters including the double marker tests were normal. My HB
was also fine and I was put on iron supplements. She told me not to worry and
expected the placenta to move by the next month. She asked me to come by the
end of fifth month with anomaly scan reports. I was a little impatient so I
kept asking her whether I can sit and sing? Sit and work on my laptop? Dr. didn't
want to disappoint me but asked me to be careful. But when Mohanapriya came in
for injections she talked to me like I was a small child and made me understand
and asked me to be patient for few more months. She told me to take this as a
deserved Holiday! I felt truly better!
