Patient's question:
In the early stages of pregnancy, I felt a bit cold, so I bought a hot water bag. When it was new, it had a strong rubber smell, but after using it many times, the smell became lighter. I've been using it for almost a month now, but there's still a rubber smell. Can I still use it with focus? During the past month, has it interfered with my baby's growth and development?Doctor's answer:
From the situation you described, it seems that you are concerned about the hot water bag you are using affecting your baby's growth and development. I suggest you stop using it and visit the gynecology department for a thorough check-up at the same time. You can also use other methods to keep warm, such as turning on an electric heater, an electric blanket, or using air conditioning. If you are still not sure, you can buy another one, and the cost of a more expensive one may be worth it compared to your concerns. What matters most is your happiness. Your emotions also affect the baby's growth and development.
