We get a 20 week scan also for abnormalities. I think the 12 week only checks for down's syndrome? It does vary from country to country, though. I actually spoke to my midwife about this, since I've already had 4 now. She said ultrasounds are fine as long as they aren't longer than half and hour, be she prefers 20 minutes and you don't have more than 1 a week. I guess this made sense as people with twins get scanned fortnightly or weekly depending on what type they are, and if there was much wrong with them we would have no healthy twins. Just my thoughts Viets, but I can also understand your concerns. So right now I'm sure nothing is wrong with our healthy babies!
OH is lucky if he gets sex one a fortnight! Even in 2nd trimester I don't want sex. Although I physically feel better I just don't want it. I have also been told I will spot after we have sex, so I guess I have some fear issues as I hate spotting even if I know whats wrong. I'm still as worried even though I know why! My solution which he seems happy with, just give him a hand helping him out. He then makes me a cup of tea, so to me it seems a good deal!
I love pre-cut veggies. So much effort is saved. I'm getting pretty bad backache if I stand up to much, so if I have to prepare dinner and cut veg OH nearly always has to finish it off! I think my boobs have grown bigger and not use to the extra weight causing the back ache as they were pretty big before I started. Since the m/s went I have been eating more healthy, but there is a day or two where I just pig out as I just can't get full!
Generally though everything is fine. Just under 3 weeks to find out what we're having, still worry that something will go terribly wrong between now and then, but baby is moving a lot more today compared to nothing all last week, I think thats why I was worried as I had no flutters after having a little one most evenings, but these today are getting a lot stronger!
