Baby's First Heartbeat (Week 7)

Dear and I went to see the gynae for the 2nd time since my pregnancy period. Its going to be an exciting moment for us today. We are going to see our baby's heartbeat for the very first time... keke...

As I did not really drink alot of water before the scan, the doctor found it rather difficult to scan the baby's heart for us to see. He decided to proceed with a scan from the bottom instead of via the stomach instead... And there... we saw it... It was a very small thing... I couldnt really make out the shape of the baby though... but we saw the baby's heart... It was pounding softly.... The doctor even played the baby's beating heart for us to hear.... It was a very sweet and exciting moment for Dear and I as we see our little baby growing in me....

Before today, I was afraid that I will not be able to see baby's heart and will be forced to remove baby from me. I kept engaging myself in little conversations with baby telling him/her that he/she had to be strong and be born into this world... Daddy and Mummy loves him/her very much and wants to see him/her born... We hoped to see the baby's heartbeat at the next session.. True enough.. Baby showed us his/her heartbeat... I will never forget this moment...

And here's a picture of my little hero... You can't really make out its shape yet. But you can see the 2 little hearts (left and right) from the scan...
