My 3D CAS Ultrasound Experience at MDCare OB-GYN Ultrasound Clinic

Great day mommies! Not so long ago, I shared a List of 3D Ultrasound Clinics in Metro Manila (at least near where I live) which offer 3D Congenital Anomaly Scan (CAS). I researched and called these clinics one by one to ask if they offer a package and if not, the individual prices for the CAS and the 3D Ultrasound.
In my search of getting the most practical (spell S-U-L-I-T, add Super right before it pa!) package, hubby and I decided to have it done at MDCare OB-GYN Ultrasound Clinic, located at E. Rodriguez Sr., Ave., QC (just right in front of St. Luke's Medical Center.)
Why? Because:
1) It offers a package for the tests I need (CAS and Pelvic Ultrasound in 3D);
2) It's the least expensive rate compared to other clinics (Only Php 3,000.00 for both);
3) Its package already saves 3D photos in a CD, with a promise of AT LEAST 10 photos; and
4) It's accessible by transportation and if you bring a car, parking is available.
Here's a quick tour of their clean, dim-lighted (which gave its guests a relaxing and comfortable ambiance), and less crowded clinic:

List of 3D Ultrasound Clinics and Packages (with CAS) in Manila

Last weekend, my baby reached his 28th week milestone! Hurray! I'm on my third - and FINAL - trimester! I've been on bed rest for the past three weeks already. So one of the things that kept me busy is reading books or online about anything pregnancy related.
I read that by the end of the seventh month (28 - 31 weeks), my baby will have more fat deposited under his skin and other features like the iris in his eyes, nails in his fingers, and hair are more developed. With the fats depositing under the skin, the baby's features could now be more appreciated under 3D Ultrasound.

Prenatal Massage at BlueWater Day Spa Ortigas

I learned to appreciate going to spas with an inviting ambiance which offer great massages ever since I started working, a budding 20 something career woman. When I was single, other than shopping, I indulge myself in spa visits. I carried this habit until today and was even able to influence my husband to have regular massages as well (first time he went to a spa was with me!)
Now that I'm pregnant with my third baby and after having my OB's clearance, I wanted to try a prenatal massage which I wasn't able to experience during my first two pregnancies. Of course I wouldn't do this without my husband in tow. While searching for known spas for giving a good prenatal massage, BlueWater Day Spa came up on my list.

Here I am being true to my blog goals this year. I remember my blog # goal #2 which is to continue my blog series. One of the blog series is this, which is my Mommy Practicality Practical Fashion or better put, OOTD blog series. It will be a weekly digest of what I wore or how I wore it.
Forgive me for now for the quality of the photos (again listed in my blog goals is to take better pictures I know but for now, here's the best I could do), but I'll do better next time. I think I just need to hire a good friend who will be willing to put up with my OOTD kaartehan and directions.
What will make this OOTD series interesting is that, I'm currently 18 weeks pregnant. So the OOTD series for the next couple of months will be me and my big growing belly bebe.
Here are my #MommyPracticalityPreggyOOTD / #MommyPracticalityOOTD 's, the hashtag I use for my IG photos, from weeks 13 to 17.

Week 13:
It's interesting to have found out that I lost 3 kilos during my first trimester, which officially ended a week before posting this photo. So if you'd compare my frame here to my other photos, you'd see that I dropped a few kilograms.
Mainly, this was due to better choices of food (chose to eat healthier) which included kicking out some drinks and food that won't help me having a healthy pregnancy such as daily black coffee, too much sweets, and sodas.
Wearing a three year old navy blue and white striped top with my 5-year old Havin' A Baby cute jeans. I matched the get-up with my comforable Polo by Ralph Lauren white canvass sneakers which I bought two to three years ago on a post-holiday sale! :)
