title: 7th Month Scan
date: Tuesday, June 13, 2006 time : 10:32 AM 10 June 06 marked the 7th month of pregnancy. Went to TMC for monthly checkup with Daddy. You are now weighted 1.2kg already, heartbeat rate is about 146 per min. Hey, It's so difficult to imagine something that size is in my belly. It's fun watching you on the scan. You rolls, cartwheels, somersaults and slides in and out of the screen, while Dr Khi pushes the scanner around my lower belly. And Dr Khi captured you digging your nose. Haha! Checked with Dr Khi on the Cord Blood Banking for you. Now Stemcord Ptd Ltd is having this promotion where the usual price of $800+ per year is going at $400+ per year for the first 100 parent who sign up. Subsequent year will be $250+. Benefit of storing the cord blood range from the treatment of various cancers to the treatment of blood disorders. One advantage of using stem cells to trest these diseases has been that there is a significantly lower risk of adverse effects as conpared to stem cells from conventional bone marrow transplantation. Newborn child's cord blood contains stem cells that are genetically related to them. This allows them to preserve these unique and untainted cells for their own use when the need arises. It safeguard for the family and hope for the future. We are still deciding on this due to budget constrain. She also shared with us what brand and model of Breastpump to use. Think we will only get the pump when you are born. The next visit will be in 3 weeks time on 1 July 06. Labels: 3rd Trimester, Gynae checkup, Pregnancy |
