Status: 12 weeks, 6 days
On Monday (at 12 weeks on the dot), we had our 12 week appointment with Rachel, one of our midwives. Everything checked out fine, and we are happy to be getting over the hump of the first trimester.
Something you all may have noticed is that there aren't any ultrasound pictures. If you haven't noticed, it's something you will now (especially since I've mentioned it)! Like I said earlier, we are treating this pregnancy very differently than we did our first. One of the main things you will notice is that we aren't having ultrasounds. Our midwives have opened our eyes to the overuse of ultrasound in pregnancy. We understand that there are instances where ultrasound is a wonderful and necessary tool, but it is not for us at this time.
For those of you who are disappointed that you won't get to see Waffle before his or her birthday, we will be having an ultrasound done. Because of my previous c-section, it is deemed medically necessary to determine that Waffle's placenta has not implanted over my previous scar. So sometime well after we have reached the 20-week mark, we will go for an ultrasound. Joel also wants to find out if Waffle is a boy or a girl, so we might try to find that out as well.
