For all who are intrested in following the bodily adventures here is baby and me at week 18. Don't worry, I will spare you most of the physical details of pregnancy, especially now that I am not feeling sick every day. But there have been requests to follow how the baby is growing, so I will occasionally share some pics.
We had the ultrasound in Sweden just before we left. The baby is normal and looks fine. We even got to see it wave at us! In Sweden they recommend only one, so unless there is complications we probably won't do another. And no, we did not find out the gender.

ReplyDeleteI think there is some worry about the affects of the ultrasound on the baby and that is why they limit the number of ultrasounds as much as possible.
I visited a midwife here in Zurich and they actually don't recommend any ultrasounds if all is going well. On the other hand, I have heard that doctors here do them regularly.
How many ultrasounds probably has a lot to do with personal opinions of the doc/midwife.
