@ 18 Weeks

Thursday, January 21, 2010

I was searching for auto insurance online as we need to renew ours for the car that we bought but then I got busy reading information about my pregnancy when I landed on the site of BabyCenter.

They have a pregnancy calendar and according to their calculations, I am already on my 18th week. By this time, my baby is almost about 5 1/2 inches long and about 7 ounces in weight. I will start to notice my baby move by this time also (actually I have been feeling my baby move since about two to three weeks ago). I also read that if I am having a baby girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place by now and if I am having a baby boy, his genitals may be noticeable already but there is still a tendency that it will not be evident during ultra sound (So I guess I really have to wait for a few more weeks or even months for another ultrasound if I really wanted to be sure of my baby’s gender).

The lola’s and lolo’s can’t wait already for the gender of the baby (I think they are more excited than us. LOL). I plan to have a 4d ultrasound, just like what I did with Bela either on the 6th or 7th month depending on my doctor’s advice. I saw a new ultrasound center in SM San Lazaro and their rates for 4D Ultrasound are cheaper compared to the rates of the big hospitals but I have to check for feedback first.

I hope and pray that I will have a safe pregnancy and no more bleeding for me so I will arrive at full term with no problem.
