18 weeks.
Went to the doctor's again for a pre-natal checkup today. Everything is well, she says. We got the hear Swe-Cha's heartbeat again and it's good and strong. We're very thankful that everything has gone well and that my pregnancy is very comfortable for the most part.
Iron supplements were prescribed for me, along with instructions to take it after my meal with a glass of orange juice which is supposed to help the iron get absorbed better. I'm thinking that I'm going to have to juggle my food intake throughout the day to accommodate the extra glass of orange juice as I easily get full after a meal.
I also have to remember to leave space for that glass of milk sometime during the day - hmm, which reminds me, my doctor has NOT given me any instructions to drink milk while my friend was asked to try and drink 3 glasses per day.
Our next appointment is for the 20th week ultrasound, we are so excited! Can't wait to find out if we're having a girl or a boy. I keep getting worried that Swe-Cha might be a bit on the shy side and NOT show his/her stuff, paano na? Oh well, guess we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
Base on heart beat of the baby... more or less you can guest if it's a boy or girl. A baby girl has a faster heartbeat daw (based on the word of Ah-so OB) I remember kellsey has a 140 heartbeat... however not 100% is correct. You can confirm with your OB =)
