[luckyme168]

Hi doggiemummy,

thanks for the pic ;-) oh, i've been eating a lot of greens, haven't noticed the color of the stem, hehehe.......don't worry, we can eat most of the green BUT it's the way you cook it (accdg to my acupunturist) if you stir fry it, it becomes heaty.

Thanks coral, yes, i read that it's common to have discharge while preggy.

Hello ladies,

One question. Wat type of facial products do u all use now? Cause i know there are some ingredients that we should avoid now that we are pregnant...

 

[happybride]

babyenmen
I am using fancl

wendy, carol
I eat 2 apples before i sleep everynight, it helps. Drinking milk on empty stomach helps too. Eating dried apricot helps too too

 

[wendytan]

hi hi doggiemummy..
anyway, thks for sharing..i m just thinking if it's ok to eat apples, if too much ok anot..thks for sharing..at least we all can take note of it..btw, i wont be making appt to see Dr Fong...went to see Dr Koh at Raffles & both hubby & myself are pretty happy with him..cheers~

[happybride]

wendy,
ya saw your posting

good for u

 

[babybenmen]

Hello doggiemummy,

Did u check with your gynae whether Fancl is safe to use?

 

[happybride]

babybenmen
i didnt. Need to check one ah??

 

[wendytan]

hi hi doggiemummy..
when's ur next appt to see Dr Fong? do u see him at the Paragon branch or Tiong Bahru branch?

 

[snowpooher]

Ladies,
I finally found my "shen dan" to cure my sickness for car ride and vomitting... kekeke... I tried to take a slice of dried "chen pi mei" whenever I feel sick. Somehow, it helps!!!

RE: Apples
It is very good for both mother and bb. And myths about it is bb will have lots of hair. I dunno how true??? But I do have plenty of hairs cos my mum ate a lot of red apples when she preggie with me

 

[coralmarine]

Ok, will be good and drink more water and eat more fruits. Funny, the last time I hv no constipation issue, this time round, quite bad. Do you guys know if prune juice is ok for us?

Wendy, bai cai will cause alot of wind too. So better not eat. I avoid kang kong too since it might cause cramp.

 

[happybride]

Wendy,

I am seeing him tonight at Tiong Bahru, only Tiong Beahru has night clinic, a few months later on will go to Paragon clinic, cos the scanner there is better n he has a 3D scanner there

 

[coralmarine]

As for facial products, I heard some anti-aging, anti-wrinkle products contain ingrdients that's harmful to bb. Also note taht some anti-blemish cream can be harmful too, I think those containing vitamin A. I was told by the pharmacist that one has to prevent from getting preg within a few years of using those. So I'll usually check with the cosmetic company if the products I buy is safe for use during preg.

 

[snowpooher]

coral,
the only vege I ate hor is kang kong, I can't resist it even preggie time But I try to cut down lah, cos I always got cramps one.

 

[happybride]

Wendy,

I am seeing him tonight at Tiong Bahru, only Tiong Beahru has night clinic, a few months later on will go to Paragon clinic, cos the scanner there is better n he has a 3D scanner there

 

[coralmarine]

Jenny, try to eat other vege. Btw, lady's fingers is suppose to be good for us. I learn that cai xin and kai lan, long beans and french beans are fine for preggy too.

 

[snowpooher]

coral,
I'm quite fussy with the veggie I ate... the other vege I ate is spinach lor. I hate the stem of the vege, so bai xin is a big no no to me. Beans also, dunno why, but I dun like those feelings of chewing long beans, french beans etc.

 

[happybride]

brocolli is good... try to eat more if baby 'allows'

 

[coralmarine]

Jenny, then eat more spinach. that's good for us and bb. There's this vege which is call "hian cai" in dialect which we can often find at mixed rice store, it's good too. Not sure what's the English name. Try to eat kang kong in moderation. I like that too, but now avoid. Like you, I dislike cai xin too. But now try to swallow for sake of bb.

 

[coralmarine]

Btw, Jenny, I think I read you post during my last preg and went to Mdm naini after reading your post. What a small world, now we're MTBs for teh same month.

 

[coralmarine]

Ya, doggiemummy is right, the green one especially.

 

[coralmarine]

Doggiemummy, good luck on your consultation tonight. Must be excited to see your little one again.

 

[happybride]

thanks coral

 

[luckyme168]

hello ladies,

how about peanut butter? is it alright? the old wives tale is that peanuts can cause allergy to babies.

hi babybenmen,

i'm reading a book now and it says avoid any cosmetics with retinol/retin-a.

 

[babybenmen]

hi doggiemummy,

i read from the other forums that some facial products contains some ingredients that pregnant women should avoid:

salicylic acid
glycolic acid
retinol
retin-a
AHA
BHA
PHA

Can any MTBs advise?

 

[snowpooher]

coral, is it? You intend to use Mdm Naini again?

 

[luckyme168]

Hi Coral,

I eat Prune fruit, i don't know if it's in season in Sg. No idea about prune juice if it's ok. Maybe you mix it with a lot of water.

Hi wendy,

Apple, orange and grapes are good to eat.

 

[bettle_bug_x]

hi all,
thanks for the support.

Beloved, I have spotting since the day i tested positive. Sigh seems to have more.

tomorrow is the appointment with gynae hope to see the sac.

 

[coralmarine]

Jenny, not sure leh. Cause I really hates te itch when I was wrapped by the cloth. So not sure if I want to go thru that or not leh.

Luckyme, I was told too much orange can be cooling leh. Then colleague told me not to eat too much grapes cos bb will have phlegm. So I fell so restricted. Only apple. They even say pear is cooling. As I have a weak body, so am as cautious as doggiemummy, need to avoid cooling stuff.

 

[bettle_bug_x]

doggiemummy - may Iknow if you sitll experience spotting?

Mine come back again... after it reduced for 2 days. not sure if it is alright. So far no pain, no cramp.

 

[vivian_phoebe]

Hi everyone,

I am new here plus new mtb too...
EDD should be around 3Oct, currently 8wks.
Excited but tired... sleeping like no-one biz... =P

Anyway, recently I have been experiencing "hip"aches.. something like sprain in leftside of my hip bones. getting worse every day.
Anyone experience this ?

So worried,
Vivian

Hi hi Jenny..
Gd for u..at least u managed to control the morn sickness..so happy for u..thks for sharing with us abt this..i didnt know that by eating lotsa apples, the bb will have lotsa hair..this is interesting..i think u can try to cut down on more kangkong coz will cause leg to be soften if intake too much, thats what I heard..try to eat moe green &amp; leafy vege..actually if not, u can get ur mum to grind the vege for u &amp; cook together w/ porridge (like those bbs porridge) &amp; eat them lor..also gd for u..cheers~

Hi hi coral..
Oic..i will take note of it frm now on to avoid Bai Cai..actually I was wondering if theres anyway to also help relieve from constipation..kinda worried that the bb will absorb the waste if I dun have output daily..i all along have constipation prob one..but its slightly better actually..cause I will intake more vege..i m also very thankful to bb..hee..thks!

Hi hi doggiemummy..
Hows the appt with Dr Fong? U managed to see the bb? U got tell him abt how u r feeling lately? Tell us more..want to hear gd news from u..cheers~

Hi hi babybenmen/luckyme..
Thks for sharing..i didnt know so much abt the facial products..also luckyme..thks for the assurance on the apples..i m trying to eat so that I can have fruits intake..feel soo guilty that I was eating lotsa junk food..like potato chips &amp; heaty stuff during the weekend..hee..

Hi hi Vivian..
Welcome to the thread!

Hi hi delphine..
Thks for updating the chart..o, normally I use word to do it..not very familiar with editing via excel..anyway, will try to figure it out..so hows ur wedding preps? So far so gd? U must take gd care of urself..

Hi hi misterygal
Thks for updating the tableso happy to hear that ur bb is 1.38cm..wow..7wk5d..my little bb is 12.3mm when I went over to see the gynae last Fri nightso happy..heehee..can even hear the bbs heartbeat..so excited..i cant wait for the next appt to come..so that I can see bb again..heehee

 

[happybride]

luckyme, coral...
not only is orange cooling, it will cause baby to have "tan" more likely to cough more (heard from elderly)

bettle bug
i stopped spotting liao.... u need to recall what did you do and the spotting came back... and then avoid those activities, relying on Gynea alone is not enough lor... for my case, I know now if i climb stairs, walk too far (out of normal range) or eat certain food , i will spot so i avoid lor. I told Gynea my discovery everytime I see him too

the black chicken soup i mentioned yesterday helped a lot for my case

vivian
welcome

wendy,
saw baby last night

1.24cm now, 7 weeks and 3 days. Dr Fong told me to eat more since I am not having MS. Seeing him in 2 weeks time...
Dr Fong said his homones pills helped my spotting situation, then i bluntly told him no

felt so guilty (Sorry, Dr Fong) I told him it's the cooling food that I ate He replied there is always some truth in what our mums tell us

 

[wei_kuan]

I been resting at home for two days. doc given me 2 days MC, duno how to face my boss tomorrow cos she hate pp on MC. I will vomit when I am hungry but i really can't eat much but feel hungry all the times. very sian going to wk tomorrow and have to face my boss tomorrow, but for the sake of the 3 mth maternity leave I must endure.

 

[wei_kuan]

Oh gals I have been taking "xue ke" from eu ran seng, heard that it is good as it not heaty and cooling and it is cheap.
i have been taking duphstom hormance for the past three weeks already and have to continue till i am 12 wks

 

[wei_kuan]

doggiemummy, do yu still remember wht cooling food u have taken that cause spotting? i want to avoid that. is the balck chicken soup the same as the chicken essence cos i have been taking chicken essecnce twice a week

 

[happybride]

wei kuan
the cooling food and the black chicken soup is posted eariler, u wan to look up the achive?

 

[mommy2006]

Hi gals,
i saw an article tat spinach shouldn't eat much, spinach is 'po chai', rite? i try to find out the article, ok? and for orange, it's good for pregnant lady, wat we sould avoid is mandarin orange, 'kan'. those we ate during CNY. that's believe have a lot of 'tan'. i never eat that during CNY even i love it. orange is good for vitamin C.

 

[wendytan]

hi hi doggiemummy..
glad to hear that bb is now 1.24cm already..wow..very amazing hor...u must take gd care lor..now eating is diff liao lor..do update us again..cheers~

hi hi weikuan..
i think better dun take so much of the bottled tonics now, coz the chemical used, duno if it's really gd for the growth of the bb..i guess moderate intake shd be fine..

hi hi Jasmine..
thks for sharing abt the article..oh ya, how did u get to know abt Dr Koh from Raffles? cheers~

 

[sen]

gd morning gals..
how's everyone feeling?
myself, think i got Night Sickness instead of morning sickness for this pregnancy. Feel terrible when around 5pm onwards. Still got to 'dong' till at least 6pm before can knock off to go home.

<font color="ff6000">wei kuan</font>
pls do hv something in ur bag, biscuits, sweets, etc do ease ur hunger.
When we are pregnant, we can't tahan the hunger one lei
just to share with u what i've been thru in my 1st pregnancy. was feeling nauseasous, broke out cold sweat, giddy spells, after waiting 15mins for my colleague to get ready, in the end, i did not join them for lunch, quickly went to cafe n grab a 'bao' to eat, felt much better after tt... being 1st time mummy, dunno wat happen, quickly went to see gynae, then i know its becoz im hungry.. tts y...
Since that, i will always have sweets or biscuits in my bag in case ..

 

[coralmarine]

Weikuan, I heard xue ge might be cooling, did you confirm with the staff at Eu Yan Sheng that it's fine for you to eat them now?
Just like you I drag myself to work.
No appetite for food, so today shall live on fruits. Bought some prunes, really sweet. Finished 10 already.
Wendy, I'm still having constipation, like you I'm worried it'll be bad for bb, but no choice leh.
Delphine, thanks for the update.

Vivian, welcome!

 

[sen]

<font color="ff6000">doggiemummy</font>
gd to know tt you've stopped spotting. do rest more ya.

 

[jasminegohsk]

Hi Ladies,

We should all avoid all shell food to prevent HP A. Bittergout and Delmonti bananas should also not to be consume, as they are the cooling stuff.

 

[mommy2006]

hi wendy,
