Prenatal Check-Up #8

Today was the 8th prenatal check-up. Because the doctor had a meeting came up, everyone's appointment was rescheduled and moved up earlier. Felt like everyone was moving in a faster pace. Same thing with weight measurement, blood pressure, and urine test. Heard the baby's strong heartbeat. Asked the doctor some questions, like what does it look like and how does it feel when water breaks?

The most special thing about this visit was that originally the doctor was going to figure out the position of the baby by touching my belly using hands. But then she couldn't really find out, so she needed an ultrasound machine to make sure. Then she pushed in an ultrasound and we were so excited because the last time we had ultrasound was back in July. we haven't seen the baby through ultrasound for about four months. Even though it was not that clear on the screen but we were still very happy. We were able to see the heart pumping! The position of the baby is head down, that is good. The doctor said it's ANYTIME! But I still want to wait till the due date in December after Thanksgiving. 

今天是第八次產檢，因為醫生有個會議要開，所以每個人的時間都重約提早往前。感覺今天大家動作都要很快，一樣的量體重、量血壓還有驗尿。照樣聽到baby的心跳聲。問了問醫生一些問題，像是水破到底會是什麼狀況什麼感覺？

今天最特別的是本來醫生是要用手來摸肚子看看baby的位置，不過她說她沒辦法確定，所以需要用超音波照才知道。後來推來了一台超音波的機器，我們心裏很開心，因為上次最後一次照超音波是七月的時候，已經四個多月沒透過超音波看過baby了，雖然從銀幕上不是看的那麼清楚，但還是很高興，還有看到心臟噗通噗通的跳動！Baby的位置頭是朝下，醫生說隨時都可能會生！但是我還是希望過完感恩節到預產期12月！
