A trip to the Ob-Gyn

We went to the obgyn yesterday. As we have decided not to have the missus give birth in Malaysia, it's important that she met with her obgyn here in Manila. I brought along one of my sis who was fortunate enough to see the baby jumping/somersaulting about in the missus' womb under the ultrasound. Hmmm, I guess the somersaulting feat must've been genes from the athletic father (ehem!).

The doc even had a doppler-microphone so we were able to hear the baby's heartbeat. It's amazing, really, as I was like sucked into one of those Discovery-Channel programs that me and the missus often watch.

Dr.M, her obgyn here in Manila, was comparatively more accomodating than Dr.T, her Malaysian obgyn. The latter we have aptly nicknamed "Baby Tsina" for her resemblance to Vilma Santos ---20 years from now.

I remember on our 1st visit to Baby Tsina, the baby still didn't have a heartbeat. She said we return after 3 weeks to check if the situation improves. She said, matter-of-factly, that if God had meant the baby to live then it is meant to live. If not, then it was not for us to have in the first place.

How's that for a RM200+ diagnosis? At least she's Christian. Hehe.

Our visit to Dr. M yesterday was quite, well how do I put it, sooo worth-it that the P500 consultation fee did not give her justice. She was kind enough to answer all the missus' inquiries, although I was disappointed with the "no contact" policy she advised during the whole term.

Doc: "Pwede naman iexpress through other ways. Kissing, halimbawa."

Me: "Naku doc. Mabibitin lang ako sa kissing."

Doc: "Ay ganun ba?! Mahirap palang mag-asawa kung ganun!"

Yep the doc is single. No issue really. As long as she does her job well, no problem with us.

Just leave the "contact" part to me. Hehe.
