Yea, my gynae allowed us to take pictures. But cameras were not allowed for my detail scan today @ the 4th floor of TMC by a different obstetrician.
The correct way of eating fruits is on an empty stomach and therefore, best eaten in the morning. Fruits are alkaline when eaten but as many people eat after meals, it mixes with all the food sludge in the tummy and becomes acidic and causes bloatedness.

The u/s machine have better resolution (less grainy), still black and white. Unfortunately, we weren’t allowed to take pictures.

My EDD remains unchanged 3/3/09. Everything was within normal range. After some time, as bb was shy today, we managed to confirm that she is gal (saw 3 lines at her buttocks).
She’s got a bigger head and bigger tummy than the average bb but shorter legs! Haha, guess she won’t be a fashion model in the future, huh?!!! She’s average in weight, weighing 341g (12ozs).
Placenta in the right place.
Phew!!! Sorry for the long post. Just in case some of you want to know more details regarding the scan. Hope it helps!
