Gestational age estimated to be 12 weeks today, so due date is now officially July 10th.
So far so good. Although the holiday eating combined with a lack of exercise has contributed to a bump in my weight.
It is hard to exercise with back pain. Lately however my pain has been much improved and I am back on the wagon doing my treadmill. This weekend I am going to buy a pre-natal workout DVD and try it at home. I can't find a way to rent one, and I guess I can risk the $15-20 it will cost to buy one.
My midwife's advice to me today - eat 6 small meals a day with protein and vegetable
Avoid caffeine and drink water
She also said that I need to do some processing to release some of the trauma surrounding my previous birth. It was nice to hear her say that because sometimes I feel like such a winer complaining about my beautiful, vaginal, optimized birth experience. It's nice to have someone empathize with you.
Such a good provider (cascading hearts).
nuchal translucency was all normal - my risk of a down syndrome baby is now 1 in 8041, and of trisomy 18/13 1 in >10,000
I'm not at all sure what we would have done with a negative result, and it is nice not to have to really figure that out. And it was nice to see that little person swimming around.
