With my second, I was seeing a not so fancy doctor serving mostly poor brown women and they did one U/S, mid-2nd trimester, when it's considered medically diagnostic for certain kinds of birth defects.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-33163466114912919242011-02-13T23:45:22.784-08:002011-02-13T23:45:22.784-08:00I think they do one before and one after.

I was trying not to romanticize reproduction, and couldn't think of a term that fit. <br /><br />I also don't know when they start doing ultrasound stuff for pregnancy. Is it before or after whatever the traditional "don't tell before then because miscarriages are really common" time?Bardiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846065504793800266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-42839599502094343392011-02-13T00:46:57.536-08:002011-02-13T00:46:57.536-08:00My immediate response to your post, Bardiac, is to...My immediate response to your post, Bardiac, is to offer a small correction: "reproductive success," as far as I see, applies not to pregnancy but live birth.

If you are going to do something, don't do it by halves!<br /><br />I remember as an undergrad meeting with the Dean once, who was a medievalist, and when I tried to make small talk about some current events, she waved her hand derisively and said, "Oh, I don't bother keeping up with anything since the Reformation."<br /><br />I was SO.

Baby pictures can wait till it's out. And yet, you've made me think . . . maybe I should post a picture of my normal gall bladder scan, just for kicks.

It's...um...personal.<br /><br />Plus I've had an ultrasound for another reason and I have to say, it looks pretty similar to the early pregnancy ultrasound. They didn't give me a picture to take home, though, which suggests that if someone has the picture, it's probably because they have a fetus.<br /><br />Anyway. I've seen people do this and maybe I'm 400 years behind, too, but it always strikes me as a little weird.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
