Hello mommies! like Esther and Beebeemer, I had my detailed scan yesterday too. Most of my boy's (yes another boy!) vital stats were bigger than average (that's prob cos we have better nutrition). His weight was 492g at 21 wks 4 days. I got one 2D scan photo and one 3D scan photo of his face.
what's most impt to me is that baby is healthy, all organs were developing normally. i was straining so hard to check out his heart as that hole in the heart is one more common deformities. Thank God everything was ok.. My hb though, was expecting a gal (cos he said this preg i have been super grouchy). I saw the penis way before the sonographer confirmed it and even aft the sonographer pointed it out to my hb, he still asked, "sure it is a boy and not a gal?" so funny.. the sonographer burst out laughing herself.
AK, won't recommend u to go for hot springs.. if the water temp is abt ur body temp, still not too bad. however if it is too warm, quote Babycenter "you get overheated and that increases your heart rate, reduces blood flow to your baby, and potentially puts your baby under stress. This can affect ur baby's development" - unquote. make sure the water temp is no hotter than 37 deg. Also, now that our vagina's env is changing, getting into mineral rich (and non sterile water) might not be a gd idea.
just my 2 cents worth.
Re: mother's milk
I don't recommend taking the full amt on the tin! i find that too rich. For me i take Enfamama, which is 6 spoons to 200ml water. I usually take 4-4.5 spoons.
if u are worried abt calcium, try other things like yoghurt, low fat high calcium milk, tofu and soya bean products. much easier for the body to absorb than calcium pills.
Oh i forgot, I have been coughing over a mth and my doc suspects that I might have a mycoplasma infection in my respiratory system.. sian.. it means i have to take special antibiotics!
