Six Weeks Has Past! : My Parenting Info

Six Weeks Has Past!

It already has six (6) weeks, my wife in pregnancy and yesterday we went back to the doctor to do the regular check up.

It is learn that, by this week, we will be able to see the baby (embryo) quite clear. I can even see very little and tiny white dot beating (as you can see from the photo, very small white dot). Doctor tried to detect the heart beats by using the ultrasound machine and it is quite weak but can be detected.

According to WebMD, the baby is starting to look like a taqdpole, about 0.08 inches to 0.16 inches. The eyes and limb buds are forming (prior to this, heart, brain, spinal cord, muscle and bones are beginning to develop in week 5)

… The eyes and limb buds also are forming. A heartbeat can sometimes be detected by an ultrasound around now.

My wife also told me she has lost weight. I checked on the MD’s site again and it said it is normal.

For mom-to-be, you may have gained a few pounds by now, but if you’re experiencing morning sickness, you may have lost weight, which is also normal.

Doctor said if she tends to sleep more is normal and it is good for the baby. Doctor advise her continue to consume Folic Acid and Allylestrenol Turinal (to strengthen the pregnancy).

Today consultation cost is RM110 which is cheaper compare to the first time visit in last week, RM160.
