A lot of people kept telling us that it was too early to go see a doctor. My argument was: we don’t even know how far along S is. It could either be 6 weeks or either 10 weeks. As always, I overcame the resistance we decided to go see Dr. Khalida Khanum. By that time we had also gotten the hCG results back from the lab, which put us somewhere around 6-7 weeks. But we weren’t backing off and decided to keep our doctor’s appointment for the next day.
The doctor’s office was a strange scene. A lot of middle aged women (many of them memon speaking) were sitting there, almost none of the husbands were there and I was the only guy I saw in my 45 minutes there who actually went into the doctor’s office with their wives. I half expected somebody to stop me from going inside. And I was ready to argue my way inside :P
The doctor wasn’t sure either about how many weeks its been, so she asked us to get an ultrasound. I had a I-Told-You-So smug smile on my face as we walked out of there. Over all the doctor seemed fine, she asked us to come back after 1 month. One fun fact …. This doctor delivered two of my cousins who are now almost 20 years old :D
We went straight to South City hospital for the ultrasound, with a quick stop at KFC. Now I don’t know whether this is because of the pregnancy or S is using this to her advantage …. But she’s been feeling hungry a lot. So obviously we had to stop and get something to eat. The ultrasound lady didn’t let me in, and I had to wait outside
The ultrasound revealed that it’s been 5.5 weeks only. She could see the sac, but couldn’t see the fetus because it was too early. We’ll go back after 10 days to get another ultrasound.
Btw, babcycenter.com puts our due date to be July 1st, 2011. I discovered these awesome inside pregnancy videos http://www.babycenter.com/2_inside-pregnancy-weeks-1-to-9_10302602.bc
