Clinic Visit

Reached IMU sharply at 7am and waiting for van to start our journey to Seremban Clinic Poly..

It's memorable to me because my chinese new year shoes were sacrificed during the home visit section in this clinic visit but fortunately the shoes are not expensive...T.T

The visit is about 'Lawatan sambil belajar' on the topic of antenatal,perinatal and postnatal care for a pregnant mother...

Clinical skill unit class on Monday was interesting and fun because I learned how to examine a pregnant mother,inspection of abdomen,palpation for fundus of uterus and fetal movement and listening to the fetal heart rate...After that,I also learned to examine the vagina and cervix.I learned about taking pap smear from the cervix through spatula and brush.Apart from that,I learned to inspect the cervical part through speculum.Lastly,I also learned to perform bimanual examination on the uterus....

Since the memories on what I learned this Monday are still fresh so despite we are not allowed to perform any examination on pregnant mothers in the clinic,I still find the visit useful and worthy to learn something....

I learned about family planning,immunisation to baby and mother,postnatal check up on baby and mother and etc...

However,I think the most captivating part to me is....ultrasound taken on a pregnant mother...
It's great and wonderful!!~~
I can see the placenta...
the head of the fetus...
the heart of the baby inside the mother's abdomen which is small and beating...
the leg which is only shown as the femur...etc...
To see a small life inside the mother's abdomen is great!!!~~I like it!!~~

I heard one of the patient asked the doctor whether the baby is a boy or a girl when the doctor is doing the ultrasound,but the doctor said dont know yet...Well,I can understand the feeling of the mother...the hope of waiting for a new life...The enthusiasm to know whether the new life is a boy or girl...The happiness of getting a new child in a family...

Hehehe...When my chance to feel all these comes??...真期待！！~~
