The OSCAR Test (6 Jun 07)



An expensive test - $189. But got to say.. it's an amazing experience.
It's done via an abdominal untrasound scan to check the thickness of the bb's neck & see if there's nose bridge visibility and a blood test. The test helps to screen for Down syndrome, Patau and Edward syndromes with approximately 90% accuracy.
hmm.. strange experience.
First thing that made me wonder if i'm seeing things was: the small one bouncing up & down! Never knew that the bb can bounce! The last time, i was still joking with Mac.. Since i'm taking his bike for the 1st trimester.. What if we've a bouncing bb?!?!? It better not be bouncing when it's here in this world!
After, it was busy kicking & waving around. The feeling is really strange coz' the scan reminds me of the old black & white movies, that has halting images.. hmm..
Think if the scan was a 3D one, we could've seen what our bb looks like :P

Come to think of it.. Our bb's such a "show-off"... hmmm.. Must be a boy?!?!? What do u think?

It's growing very fast. now, it's 57mm already.
Eeehh... Can't really imagine myself with a huge tummy. eeehhh....
