Tests, Scans and more...

   Ok so here I am back with my second post..Gave quite a thought as what it should be about...Well here are some more things about the 9 months of shear excitement...

   Once it was confirmed, there were ,

'n' number of tests to be done :-/

Never in my life I had visited hospital so many times..nor I imagined what all was to come...

   Apollo (Koramangala) was my choice..just because my gynac was available there in morning early hours, so that I could finish all and reach office on time! Though the clinic was quite far away from where I stay, I chose it just because of the convenience of time

  And I was Not at all disappointed with them..every time all will happen just in time!! Meet the doctor, give blood samples for tests (for that matter any test, they had all available in one place), do a scan, get scan reports almost in 10mins and meet the doc again...This all I was able to manage in almost an hour and reach office on time. All was possible because this clinic is so very professional..you don’t have to wait for long for anything!

  When it came to tests, there were many to be done through out the term. Though your doctor would tell you most of info each time you visit her, I found it was really good to do some homework though.

   In every visit I would ask her, what next..once I get to know what are the tests or scans planned for next visit, I would read whatever info I could get on net about it. And it really helped me gain peace of mind. Moreover my doctor also was very friendly and would encourage me to read about everything before I go to her!

Well, here are few things to remember while going for tests or scan:

1. Ask your doctor about tests/scan planned in next visit

2. Read whatever possible info about it on net

3. Don’t forget to check the prerequisites for the tests with the clinic/lab

4. Always carry your own water bottle, some good muchable snacks, juice etc with you as you may have to wait for a while or might get stuck in traffic for good amount of time

5. Write down all the queries that had risen to your mind & carry the list with you, so that you do not miss up asking things to your doc

Also make sure to keep your doctors direct mobile number handy.

  So head on and enjoy the moments when you hear the first heartbeats of you little one..and then the tiny creature that you will see in scan ...and again  in the next visit the heart beats...and go on....
