Ultrascans, Yolk Sacs and Thalassameia

After a bit of research on which gynae to go to... we decided on Dr Joycelyn Wong of ACJ clinic despite the strong recommendations of W K Tan from P&G colleagues (she's rather expensive). Got there around 4:45pm (5pm appointment) and had to wait around an hour before seeing her.

Rather nice and reassuring lady... first thing to do was an Ultrascan to confirm the pregnancy. So she scanned and we saw the water bag (big black dot) and within the black dot... a white dot (baby!). So our baby's around 2.1mm which is normal.


The doc went on about the risks, what to do and eat, what not to do and also the various tests that we must and should do. There is one blood test that requires a blood sample from the father and I got pricked.

Total cost for the visit is around $152 (ex GST) for consultation, medication (folic acid and multi-vits), ultrascan, urine test and my blood test.
