Doctor's Visit - 35th Week

We went to the doctor again today for our, now weekly, routine check-up. Dr. Chen first check the Little Piggy's heartbeat by using the Doppler. The heartbeat was 166 beats per minute! Dr. Chen then used his hands to press deep into Amy's tummy to feel the location of Little Piggy's head. As mentioned before, this Little Piggy is now completely upside down. Dr. Chen also held Amy's hand to press against her own tummy so that she could feel the baby's head too!

Doctor Chen also told us the result of the Group B Strep Test that we did last week came back normal.

The Doctor also told Amy to walk 2 to 3 hours per day from now on until she's in labor. This will be a challenge for Amy because she had to sit down for a break whenever she walked for about 10 minutes during this past weekend's baby shopping. I don't know how is she going to walk 2 to 3 hours per day... even with my credit card on-hand!

Finally, we asked Dr. Chen if he has any pediatrician whom he will recommend. He suggested Dr. Annette Liu. I'm going to do some research in the next few days/weeks to find out more about her.

Our next visit is in a week's time. This Little Piggy could signal his arrival at any moment! Therefore, if you still haven't put your name (and money) down for the Due-Date Guessing game, please click here!

Peace out!
