Justin and I scheduled an appointment today with our former gynaecologist, Dr JJ Chee to seek a 2nd opinion on the diagnosis of the baby’s condition.
Entering Dr Chee’s clinic brought back memories of
those few years of our TTC (Trying To Conceive) journey at The Obstetrics &
Gynaecology Centre in Paragon. Dr Chee was very happy to see the both of us and
was delighted to hear that I got pregnant naturally, especially she knew very well what we
have gone through during our TTC days. However after we updated her on the
purpose of our visit, she became quiet and then called her nurse to prepare for
the ultrasound.
During the ultrasound, she was solemn and then
started to explain to us the images of our baby via the ultrasound and
confirmed that our baby indeed has Acrania. After the ultrasound was done, she
asked us what were our plans and we told her we decided to keep the pregnancy.
Dr Chee then gave us advice on my pregnancy journey for the next few months and
to be prepared for congratulatory wishes when my belly starts showing. She also
said that natural delivery is preferred to cesarean in such cases.
It was great to see Dr Chee again, felt like seeing with an old friend.
Hopefully the next time we meet her, we will be able to share happy news with
her instead of the solemn appointment that we just had.
