I love the second trimester! Although
there are still days I just feel tired, generally this has been the best season
of this pregnancy so far. I am able to catch up on my backlogs in terms of
government documents—SSS, Philhealth,
and BIR. I pay my own remittances and taxes, so
I really enjoyed and took advantage of the priority lanes. Baby bump is quite
obvious now, so it's easier to
avail of these without getting skeptic
looks and side glances.
CONGENITAL ANOMALY SCAN
We initially planned on getting just
a regular 2D ultrasound to know baby's sex. However, after careful
consideration and upon the advice of my OB as well, we considered a CAS might
be better to also know how baby is doing
physiologically. What was initially scheduled at Week 20 was moved to Week 22
to be sure that baby's body parts are bigger and more visible during the scan.
