Week Six (6)

We went to break the good news to my Mummy, auntie and grandpa of my mother's side. They are so happy that I am pregnant. Mummy and aunties share some of their personal experiences to me. Give me some advices and etc.

Later, we went to the gyne again as scheduled. The gyne asked me whether my breasts are swollen. I answered yes and it is so painful. He said it is good that I have experience the swollen and painful more now because it shows that the embryo is growing and my hormones are changing. He then do an ultrascan on me to see whether the embryo has heartbeat. I silly questioned:

"So early can already detect whether the embryo has heartbeat?"

"Yes," the gyno answered ina simple sentence.

I can see the embryo in the monitor and it is larger in size now. The embryo is now 1.5cm and aged 6 weeks and 3 days. Then, come the exciting part! The gyno shows me my little embryo heartbeat. It beats slowly and dimly in the monitor. I quickly asked Ken come nearer to see. I am so exciting. For the first time, I can see my little embryo beat on its own. No wonder sometime I can sense that my heartbeat beats faster compare to usual. It is because my embryo beats together with me!

After seeing my little embryo has its own heartbeat, it feels like every hard moments (morning sickness, vomitting, tiring and etc) I gone thru these few weeks are paid off. I see the embyro growing and growing each day in my uterus - fighting to be born to see me and his Daddy. I am so happy about it.......

As usual, the gyne gave me an injection, medicine and asked me to stay home and rest more. The embryo is still unstable and need my protection to protect it.I am wondering what my little embryo will be next week. Can't wait for next week to see him again.
