19.08.2011: the day the gender was revealed~!

19-August-2011

Against all odds, I'm expecting a lil PRINCESS !! ♥♥
U simply can't image hw overjoyed mr. Jason is !! ε–œεΎ—εƒι‡‘!

He was closed to tears when e sonographer announced it's a girl!!
& I'm officially 'e Queen in da hse !!



Ps: Dr Kee never revealed and confirmed the gender, and we have been looking forward to my detailed scan for the sonographer to confirm the gender (the 3 lines)!!
so it was indeed a very amazing moment when sonographer told us it was a girl as we were all expecting it to be a boy because of my hormone changes! thank God for making our dream come true!

on a more important note, it was discovered that i had some problems with the Uterine Artery.
FYI:
The uterine arteries provide blood to the uterus. Two arteries are present, one on the left and one on the right side of the uterus. Blood from the uterine arteries supplies blood to the muscles of the uterus and the placenta.

Type I. Abnormal Resistance Index

Once the waveforms are obtained and measured, the results are plotted on graphs to determine if blood flow during diastole is normal or abnormal. If the Resistance Index increases to a value above the upper range of normal, this identifies a fetus at risk or who may be undergrown (too small). To determine the Resistance Index the peak of systole (Sys Meas) is divided by the sum of the systolic (Sys Meas) and diastolic measurements (Dias Meas). A value greater than 0.58 is considered to be abnormal. One of the problems with this measurement is a higher false-positive rate than if one uses the presence or absence of notching (see below). For this reason, Dr. DeVore prefers using the presence or absence of a "notch" to determine if the waveform is normal or abnormal.


The resistance index is measured to determine if it is abnormally high. In this example the low diastolic flow results in an abnormal Resistance Index.



in simple terms, there was limitation to the amount of nutrients that can pass from my body to the baby due to the notch (resistance), hence i was given baby aspirin (Cardisprin) medication to be taken every morning, to 'thin' my blood so that more nutirents can pass through....
