4D ultrasound

Yesterday we managed to do a final 4D ultrasound at another hospital. 'Final' because this would be the last time we can do an ultrasound before the babies are due to 'arrive'. Seeing them in 4D was much better than the normal ultrasound scan because at least I can easily make out the babies' faces. They look so cute! They are too big (in terms of weeks) to get a full body imagery.

As with every ultrasound experiences we've had in Shanghai over the last few months, we always tend to encounter some unfavourable exepriences. A few weeks ago when we made an appointment to do a 4D scan, we got to the hospital only to be told that the machine is broken and that they don't know it will get fixed. We were not very happy to not only have our hopes of 'seeing' our babies but also because it was a total waste of time. Unfortunately only one hospital in Shanghai offers this type of ultrasound. So anyway, we called last week to see whether the machine has been fixed and fortunately it was so we again made an appointment. So far the ultrasound was fine until the sonologist kept on repeating over and over and over again that one of the babies is fat (hen pang很胖). It was really irritating indeed! Actually both were chubby but one was chubbier than the other whereas the other was longer in frame. After the scan, we were waiting for the bill to pay for scan when we saw on our bill of an outstanding bill for the last time we were there and the machine was broken. Simon and I were so angry that they were planning on charging us for soemthing that never even happened! Talk about loosing your cool...

With that experience over, we are just so very glad that we did not choose that hospital for delivering the babies. We never know what bad experience we will further encounter there.

My chances of doing natural delivery is now almost 100% unlikely as the babies still have not changed positions. One is still in breech position while the other is a bit horizontal. As the expected date of delivery (via C-section) draws near, the more nervous I get although the doctor is very reassuring...
