Yan > I drink red date longan every few days too. Fresh boiled as well as instant. The chinese medical hall I go to recommended me to make red date longan and also ginger red date. I alternate between the two because as babymaking mentioned, longan is heaty so better not to take too much.
Teoong > what method what method? I'm starting to get excited about bb gender. hubby insists he saw something between bb's legs during oscar.. which is probably too soon! and some days i feel very strongly im having a girl. sometimes i feel its a boy. haha. not very useful.
Everyone > 2nd trimester! It's time to eat bird's nest! =)

KWXY and some mummies were talking about cramps and stomach pains? I just came across something online.
-------------------------------------------------------
There are different causes for mild achiness or pain in the abdomen during the different stages of pregnancy.
- Stretching of ligaments
In the second trimester, the muscles and ligaments (tough bands of tissue) that support your uterus stretch.
This can cause a dull ache across the belly or a sharp pain on one side. Many women feel this pain most severely when getting up from a bed, chair or bathtub or when coughing.
- What you can do
When you feel abdominal achiness, sit down, put your feet up and relax. Resting comfortably should quickly relieve your symptoms. Other tips include:
Avoid quick changes in position, especially turning sharply at the waist.
When you do feel a pain, bend toward the pain to relieve it.
Walking, doing light housework or changing position may help relieve gas pains.
Put a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel or a heating pad on the lowest setting on your belly.
Take a warm bath or shower.
Make sure you are getting enough fluids.
- When to talk to your health care provider
When you experience Severe pain.
While some pain or achiness is normal, severe abdominal pain or cramps could be a sign of a serious problem. Many conditions can cause this type of pain, whether you're pregnant or not. Severe pain may be a sign of stomach virus, food poisoning, appendicitis, urinary tract infection, kidney infection, kidney stones, gallbladder disease or complications of pregnancy (such as preeclampsia).
Contact your provider if you have severe and continuous pain, or if you also have:
Cramps
Bleeding or discharge from your vagina
Fever
Chills
Lightheadedness or faintness

claramimi: pls take care... I'm sure bb can feel ur love for her...
Rocco: doppler can use thruout lah, not just 1st tri. It's to listen to bb's hb so mummies can feel assured everthing is going well in between gynae visits.
Dun worry abt weight gain now lah. Im actually still lighter than my pre first pregnancy weight even. As long as bb is growing fine shouldn't have problem. But should eat nutritious stuff Liao since bb is starting to absorb nutrition from ur placenta already.

There is another way to tell gender of baby - using hair and wedding ring. Me tried it out during our primary school days with my married sis long ago. We even tried it on our parents and turned out very accurate! But its 7th mth now...better not... Cos i rem its kinda eerie
Hi mummies,
Thanks for all ur encouragement and concern! I'm sorry u all thot Im not ok...that was few wks bk, before the final testing results was out. The test they need to find out is whether my toxo is i got it b4 preggie or during preggie. So during that few days b4 test results was really hell for me...
Im ok as the reults was that i got the toxo b4 i was preggie...so bb shld be ok, as my antibody can curb the parasite..such a relieve!! No need to take antibodtics... I think i had some uncook meat before...
Chewie > no i dont have much contacts with cats, i think is the uncook meat that i might haf eaten last time...
Nevertheless..i feel soo blessed by all u mommies's concern..
Claramini > dont be sorry, im juz emo and hormones bah, when i think of wat might happen to my bb if its the worst case scenario..and i sincerly feel for u...when the abv happen i went to the temple at si ma lu, goddess of mercy to pray and ask her to help, ive heard that she's v zhun...so mabbie she helped my bb too..

Babymaking: i agree go to DR ananda first..hope everything goes well for u, god b with u!
Chewie: i was told that birdnest caanot drink too, till 7 months...and oso then cannot drink too much, like once or twice a wk oni. Even DRs advise not to drink too early..something to do with will cause allergies to bb or not good for their lungs..

Lynn (Quek)>> It's good that u have toxo before pregnancy.. That means now u r immuned! I tested for toxo too during OSCAR but negative. Which means I have to be extra careful around my cat.
Re: Birdsnest. I'm confused. I thot some time back some mummies advised not to take BN in first tri, only start in 2nd trimester?

wow so fast the fair is over! i went on the first day and didn't get anything... i guess that means we can feast on mooncakes at the next fair soon!
I bought quinny senzz! Not heavy and can close with one hand...hehe. Quite light too. The latest design will be the quinny buzz...that one more bulky, I dont like
I also saw combi, very light too! Not bad, but still looks bulky after closing. Not as compact as senzz. But it's very individual, you must feel comfortable with the stroller as you are the one handling.
If you do not mind the weight, prego is also not a bad choice!

planet>really not sure about the birds nest. Just sharing what other moms told me - basically not to take too much birds nest cos might end up causing asthma in bb cos to liang. if in doubt, I always think its better to check with the tcm cos our bodies are all different.
Morning all, yesterday went to see TCM cos I have been coughing and running nose for 2 weeks. The chinese physician is more curious of the gender of my Bb then me. So funny, she read my pulse at the beginning and at the end to confirm the gender. She say might be a gal but personality like boy cos my pulse is very strong. Hehee.....
Should not eat too much bird nest wor, too cooling. Not good for Bb's lungs. Once a week is good.
I asked the chinese physician on what "pu" can i take. She asked me to eat more fish and eggs. Forget to ask whether can eat eggs everyday cos my Bb love eggs. After I had eggs in the morning, no more hungry sickness for the whole morning. Amazing!
Anyone knows whether we can take eggs everyday? Will I get high cholesterol if I take everyday?
