I decided to work with a midwife during my pregnancy and had my first phone call appointment. She mentioned that if I did not complete the ultrasound between 11-13 weeks, she would assume the baby was conceived on the first day of my last period and might induce labor if she doesn't have confirmation from this ultrasound. I am currently 10 weeks along based on the first day of my last period. I was hoping we could compromise on the due date determination based on the day of intercourse rather than the last day of my menstrual cycle. Additionally, I am unsure if the cell-free DNA test is enough or if I need to do the ultrasound for nuchal translucency. I also have questions about the safety of natural medicines like elderberry during pregnancy and the use of cod liver oil for omega-3 fatty acids.
