happymomtobe, don know but already desperate. whole day in office have stomachache than try 1 hr till i cry also cannot come out. the pain is unbearable so have to try. my gynea previously give me inserts but don have one last night. so no choice but to take my husband offer.
have not start on calcium pills yet already so bad, cannot imagine 2nd and 3rd trimster.
i better standby some inserts in case it happens again.

Al> No leh. I got a bunch of samples from TMC.. but until now no courage to open and try. I'm really very scared of the milk powder smell.. it makes me throw up. Hopefully in 2nd tri when MS is gone then I will pluck up the courage to try.
Anyway, my gynae said it's good to drink those special mummies milk but not a must. In fact, it might cause you and bb to put on too much weight so must be careful if you drink that type of milk. If bb overweight then have to go for c-sect.. *horror*

pinkz>when there's milk in the house, I will add a bit to my milo lor. tat's all I purposely take unless I'm hungry and drink milk to quench my thirst. For #1, I had a lot of the mommy milk samples so will occassionally force myself to drink so don't waste it. I also got calcium pills from my gynae. no probs with calcium leh. a few months ago got free bone density test at a supermarket I passed by so I take for fun. My bone density no probs.
What I'm eating are bought on my own accord. oso good cos cheaper. taking obimin n folic in morning n calcium in afternoon.Al,
No, not drinking milk this time round. Relying on calcium supplement. I think I had too much calcium the last round, baby was born with teeth.
I took anmum chocolate last time. Similac was terrible. Powder doesn't dissolve well and very sweet. Cold mamil ones taste nice too. For the pregnant mum milk formula, it makes you put on weight fast. I realized all the weight was on me and didn't go to my baby, so I stopped drinking.

yanyan: doc gave me folic acid when i first visited him at abt 6 wks.. 30 pills, 1 pill/day.. on next visit at 8 wks, he gave me calcium, multi vit (iron) & dha, take 1 each/day.. but hor, my dha is organic plant type, not fish one.. so i dun have e fishy taste when i burp.. then on 11th wk visit, he told me need to take 2 each fm 4th mth onwards.. so it'll be 6 pills/day! already finds it hard to swallow 3 pills everyday liao.. can't imagine 6 pills!!
Lsytyl, tats good.... I have big bones, hubby always tease me say my bones so big still need milk meh... I told him bone big no use, inside empty how??
Al, just finish yr anmum then switch lor.. Dun waste... Then drink fresh milk for this preg and compare the weight gain...
Regarding cold milk, i Learn this from other mummies, dun drink straight out from fridge, leave it ard 3-5min then drink.. Last time i drink powder milk too so was concern abt cold milk too... But now I love cold drinks... Hehe...
I drink farmhouse... I love HL when I was younger, as grow older feel the taste artificial.. But I love their choco milk... Niceee

Yeah.. you are right on the cold milk.. dun drink them immediately from the fridge..
what i do is i pour them in a cup, go shower, then drink after shower..
birdbrain
your calcium level must be very very high!
but that will also means your bb's bones are very strong too..

Mummies taking obimin, how come u are taking additional folic acid? Obimin already has 1000mcg of folic acid, we only need 400-600mcg per day. Pls be careful not to overdose..
>>> From the web:
Folic Acid Overdose Symptoms
Folic acid overdose is not known to have any deleterious effect on the human body. Usually, the excess folic acid ingested is excreted in the urine, without conducing to any health problems.
However, consumption of more than 1000 mcg on a daily basis, for a long period of time, can result in some problems. Some of the symptoms of folic acid overdose are as follows:
Diarrhea
Insomnia
Digestive problems (such as nausea or gas)
Rash
Zinc deficiency
Psychotic behavior
Bitter taste in the mouth
Irritability, excitability, or hyperactivity
Seizures
