OSCAR

We visited the Fetal Assessment Unit in Thomson Medical Clinic this morning for the One-stop Clinic for Assessment of Risk for Fetal Anomalies (otherwise known as OSCAR), which is a first trimester option offered to all pregnant women as an earlier and more accurate method of screening for risk of fetal anomalies, in particular Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21).

To our relief, the baby is growing well and we managed to get a glimpse of him/her in action once again, moving around actively.

However, the baby was naughty earlier as he/she refused to face the correct direction for the scan, resulting in a delay of an hour or so. However, the doctor told us that we have yet to break the record as there was a couple who waited 7 hrs for the baby to show the correct side for the scan.

Exciting days ahead.
