About 12 weeks- a little earlier in AugustIt is good to be in the second trimester. The risk of miscarriage goes way down after the 12th week, and that's a relief. I am now 15 weeks pregnant- the books say the baby is the size of a large naval orange. They use a lot of fruit analogies in those books.
I have heard the baby's heartbeat twice now at midwife appointments. Yes, we have a midwife rather than an obstetrician and we're planning a home birth, which I'm really excited about. We watched this documentary called The Business of Being Born, and it was really eye-opening as to the state of maternity care in the United States.
I have been feeling a little better- less tired, though still nauseous sometimes. I've had a couple very bad headaches, one that lasted for ten days, which is hard because I cannot take any medicine for it. I did get acupuncture though, and I think it helped.
We're finding out the baby's gender sometime in October, and I'm totally looking forward to it. Manny is about to finally start his new job, and I started online grad school classes on Monday. So life is busy, but we're happy and excited about the future.
