Women and Children's Hospital

This week I went to pick up my blood test results from the doctor. I thought it might be interesting to see some pictures of what that's like here.

When I arrived I took my receipt from the last appointment and went to this machine to scan the barcode and get my test results.

For some reason it wasn't working, so I went and found my favorite nurse to help. She is always great at getting us to where we need to be and got my results for me from the nurse's station next to her.

After that I went upstairs to the fourth floor to show the results to the doctor that we've see for the first half of my pregnancy.

Dr. Li so kind and always tries to find ways to explain things to us. This time I still wasn't sure what she was saying, so I called a friend to translate for me. She told us the results indicate a low risk of problems such as down syndrome but it's not a 100% thing. (She usually smiles.)

Then it was time to go home until our next appointment at the beginning of November when they'll do an overall check along with a detailed ultrasound. At this point we'll also start seeing a specialist who we'll see through the end of the pregnancy.
