2nd Month: Bangalore, April 2008

Throwing up sessions is still on. Now I am tired of them already. They make me feel so weak. I do not feel like eating, but I still eat so that my baby gets proper nourishment.

Now its not even two months of pregnancy and you have no idea how much we care for you baby. Chetan immediately bought a car (our first car – Pearl Silver Alto LXI) so that I don’t feel any jerks while traveling. I used to travel by auto to Office (Air Deccan at Cunningham Road).

While praying, we already started asking God to protect you and keep you safe and sound. It’s amazing how we have started feeling about you.

On 6th April 2008, we went for scanning, Chetan was not allowed; as it was early pregnancy scan. While scanning, I insisted that she should show the screen to me but she refused saying I can’t have a look since its only 7 weeks. After completion of 10-14 weeks they will show us. After pleading for several times J, she gave up. When I saw the screen, she asked me to look into a hollow structure in which some tiny little thing was flickering – That tiny flickering thing was my baby’s heartbeat and the hollow structure was the amniotic sac. What next? I broke into tears and smiles. As soon as I got out of that room I went and hugged Chetan and told him how beautiful the feeling was!

After that whenever I used to close my eyes, I used to think about your heartbeat. I am so over whelmed. Even though I am penning this down, I am sure only a mother can understand what that feeling is. Seriously!

Next day we informed Aai, Mummy, Papa, Bhai and Bhabhi.

But I still feel very tired, lethargic and sleepy. It is the most amazing feeling but morning sickness is extremely difficult to handle.

Doctor has advised OBG panel test, which we did on the same day (14th April 2008) at Apoorva Diagnostic, CMH Road, Bangalore, which included – Clinical Haematology (Hb check, Bleeding time, Clotting time, Serology, Immunology, Blood Group and Rh factor), Biochemistry (glucose test), Immunology Test (Thyriod Stimulating Hormone – TSH test) and finally Urine Test, which I refer to susu test. All results were normal and we were a very happy couple.

Another scan was advised by the Dr. Hemanandini in the first week of May– The First Trimester Scan. We took appointment for the scan (3:00pm, 8th May 2008) at Manipal Hospital, Airport Road, Bangalore.
