Women and Children's Hospital II

Back in October I posted a few pictures of the clinic (connected to the hospital) where we have our prenatal appointments. Here are a few more.

When you come into the hospital you have to "register" or basically pay to see the doctor. Today we payed 18 Y ~ $2.50. In the morning the whole area is usually full, and you have to wait a while. Today we went in the afternoon. Much better.

Then we went upstairs to see the specialist that I'll see for the rest of the pregnancy. Eric had to wait outside while the nurse weighed me, took my blood pressure, and then listened to the heart beat.

Today was the day for the detailed ultrasound, so she wrote me a "prescription." We went and paid for it. 280 Y ~ $43.00. Usually it's only about $20, but this one was special, so it was more.

Again Eric had to wait outside while they spent about 10-15 minutes looking at the baby's head, body, and organs such as the heart, liver, etc. They also confirmed that he IS a boy. I got to see a few pictures that really didn't look like much, but they assured me everything looked good. They then printed one picture for me to take back to the doctor.

We went back to the doctor who looked at the ultrasound picture. She said everything looked fine. He's still a little small, but now it's only by about one week.

After that we went and bought the sugar that I'll mix with water and drink for my glucose test next month. 12 Y ~ $1.75. Here's a picture of where they do the urine and blood tests. You wait at one window for a cup to pee in or another to have blood drawn.

Then it was time to head home thankful that everything went well (meaning no running around or mafan) and that our little baby boy is healthy!
