sweet lovesweet love
in My baby was born in Apr 2013

It was a great feelin watchin the baby for d first time..... i'm so nervous before my appt. but everythin's fine... !! my baby's 2.24 cm long @ 9 weeks.... donno if its the ideal length but doctor said everythin's fine.... i can see the baby's heartbeat.... but can't hear it as my doctor's equipment cant detect it .... but she said everythin lookin ok ...

She asked me to get ready for first trimister screening....!!! which includes two blood tests and one scan.. one@10 to 14 weeks+scan, one blood @ 20 weeks or so....

tension started again 4 me...... why she's refering to all these things?? is first trimister screening a common thing?????
