"Is this your first time visiting the doctor in your pregnancy journey?"
"Yes," I said and he nods.
"Please have a seat," he said and I looked at the chair.
I walked over to it and sat down. I started tapping my feet on the ground as I held on to my phone tightly.
"First time being pregnant? Uh seem a bit nervous,"
"No I'm sorry," I said with a nervous laugh.
"It's okay most moms that come in here are every nervous or very excited," he said with a warm smile.
"It's my second time, being pregnant. I had a miscarriage a couple years ago,"
Why mi did affi say dhat
Sigh*
"I'm terribly sorry," he said and I gave him a quick smile.
"Are we going to get started now?"
"Yes, the test has confirmed that you are pregnant so let's do a few checkups," he said and I nod.
He cleared his throat and took a seat.
"May I ask, when was your last period?"
"Around two months ago or so....Um—I have an irregular circle but I took a pregnancy test at home. It was negative,"
"One test?"
"Yes,"
"You know sometimes these pregnancy test aren't 100% accurate," he said
I ran my fingers through my hair and looked at the tile.
"Okay, we'll just start off with the regular like your weight and so on," he said and I nod.
I already checked my weight and pressure at home but okay
After doing a few tests and talking a bit, I laid down on the bed. I pulled up my short and he tucked a small towel into my jeans to protect it from the gel.
He started grabbing equipment and I stared into the ceiling.
"The gel is a bit cold—"
"I know," I said and soon I felt the cool jel on my stomach.
I closed my eyes as he spreads the gel and I started counting in my head.
Look I'm nervous, don't judge me
"Wow,"
I opened my eyes since I had completed ignored the fact that I was doing my first ultrasound.
"This little guy is far along," he said before pulling the screen so I could see it.
"It's a boy,"
"Oh no I'm sorry we're not sure at yet. I have a bad habit of saying little guy,"
