20 weeks

We had the ultrasound yesterday and it was great!  We got to see baby's head, face, legs, arms, spine, etc.  Doc said all measurements look normal.  We'll get the full report when we see our midwife again in a couple weeks.  He is recommending a follow-up ultrasound around 30 or 32 weeks since the placenta is quite low this time.  He said most of the time, it moves up as the uterus grows, so it will need to be checked to make sure it has moved.  If not, we'd be looking at needing a C-section.  I'm sure the midwife will tell us more about this at our next appointment, but from my research, about 1 in 4 pregnancies have a low-lying placenta at this stage and only about 4% of those end up not moving and require a C-section.  So, we definitely have good odds that it will move.  So, I will try not to worry about it and we'll see what the follow-up ultrasound says!

At one point during the ultrasound, he asked if we wanted to know the gender, but we stuck with what we decided and said we wanted to keep it a surprise.  I'm glad we decided to wait - I like getting the surprise at the birth!
