1st ultrasound scan (5.4 weeks)

Went to AMC for registration at 10.55am as scheduled and I was told I got to wait for another 1 1/2 hr before its my turn. This is the first time I've got to wait for that long at AMC. After that we went to clinic D to inform the nurse that appointment with Dr Lau will be delayed due to the wait.

We went for early lunch and continue to wait for our turn at AMC. And exactly about 1 1/2 hr time, my number is called. The sonographer try to do tummy scan to check and it seems to be quite a challenge as I guessed the baby is still very small and so they decide to do internal scan with a probe.

They found one sac with a baby and heartbeat and also another smaller one beside it but they can hardly see the baby and heartbeat. They took awhile to do the scan to make sure they don't see it wrongly. In the end they can only confirm 2 sacs and 1 baby and heartbeat found.

After that I went to Clinic D to find Dr Lau and he says the chances for the other sac to develop may be low but there might be surprises after that as baby may start to develop late. The sac with heartbeat is 12mm and the other one is 6mm. Baby is at about 2mm now. There is a difference and the other one seem to develop very slow. By right they are inserted at the same time so they should be the same size at the same stage.

He asked to go back for scan after 4 weeks and see how the babies develop.
