Off to chapter baby

You know how people would always say/complain how their life of two has ended when expecting a baby?
I didn't have the chance to enjoy my 二人世界, and 第三者 is on its way.
So here, welcome to Chapter Baby.

Just a few weeks back, I was feeling a little different from being normal and was telling my bestie over swimming session that my period was so off course, she urged me to get it checked. And the result came back positive.

That's where the horror starts.

My search for hospital and gynea begun.

After a few calls and online researches, And since, I'm planning to deliver at Mount A. after much recommendations, that will mean getting an appointment at a private clinic.

Finally found a clinic that is in the west area and affordable consultation rate. Besides, going to a govt hospital is gonna take weeks before I get my first appt, and pte clinic could see me within a couple of days.
So my doctor is pretty good looking, I would say. Dr Ben Choey. Very soft spoken and patient.
There was once I ask him if 3D scan could see the color of the baby, and he say no, they would all turn out orange, and I asked again, but what about indian babies? Will they be of a darker orange? He said, no, and just laugh. He has been quite tolerant to my weird questions and quite comfy to talk to him.
Anyway, now that my baby is about 12 weeks big, it has already learn to paw. Might have learn it while I was training my sunny boy all these while.

Went for check up, blood test and scan a few days back, Down syndrome test came out with quite a good result 1:10000. And head, hands and legs are formed. So far no abnormalities.

Doctor says might be a boy, but too early to tell.

It is so expensive to have a baby, the blood test and down syndrome test plus gynea package already set up back almost $1.3k for this month.

Dear govt, your baby bonus only $6000, where got enough??

From a rough estimation, we might have to come up with about $4k cash for delivery. And that is for a 2 bedder ward for Caesarean with epidural. Don't understand how some was mentioning in the forums that they have paid lesser that this amount, but after calling the hospital to verify, all information on the charges are very vague, so total amount can only be confirm upon bill arrival.

I can only conclude that this baby thing is a really expensive deal. Thank god for pass downs from my very helpful brother and sil.
