Baby's 9th Scanning

Today is our 9th visit to Dr Jason's clinic at Sunway Medical Hospital. Our baby is now 35 weeks & 5 days old, weighing about 2.59kg. He is approximately 600 grams heavier compare to previous scanning result.

Another 2 more days to go, our baby will be 36 weeks old. Dr Jason Lim told us that, anytime after 37 weeks onwards, the baby is called a "Full Term" baby, which means he's a full-grown baby & safe to be born without any danger. Whereas, on the other hand, if a baby that is born before 37 weeks old, he/she is called a "Pre-mature" baby.

p/s: A "Pre-mature" baby's life could be in danger if he/she is not being treated properly. Therefore, an incubator equipped with life-supporting facilities is needed for the baby in order to ensure his/her organs will continue to grow until it can function independently.



During this visit, we have requested Dr Jason Lim to scan some beautiful pictures of our baby for us to keep. Pictures shown on above were the latest images of our baby face. We can clearly see the head, eyes, ears, nose, both arms & we are so lucky to capture a picture with his mouth open, as shown in the 1st picture. Pictures below are some images of the baby's feet length (approx. 6.67cm), baby's waist length (approx. 31.3cm) & a close-up image of our baby's heart. You can even see the main arteries/veins & heart chambers in the picture.
