Can I know if one can drink ginseng (soup) during TWW?

tomato, Mag, sorry to hear that. Rest well and try again. I'm approaching end of my 2nd week of confinement after my blighted ovum. I had wanted to order tingkat for 2week but my MIL insists not to because they are expensive and not necessarily healthy. But if no choice, that will be the...

Sorry to hear that juju. I reported to this thread weeks ago but shortly, I also had bleeding; ended in an MC unfortunately. Been a silent reader since then. Somehow already expected an MC was coming because gynae didnt see a good sign from the 1st ultrasound scan. I'm doing a mini...

Actually my first visit was 6wk+2. Doc couldnt see much inside my gestational sac so he did ask for my permission to do v-scan. He asked "you want to do it now or would you like to come back another time?". Now I know why he asked. I mean my last pregnancy I did have a v-scan but I didnt have...

bbreeze, I also didnt know the v-u/s could cause spotting until I had it since last wed after my first gynae visit. I searched the net and got to know it can cause that. After the brown spotting for few days, I had bleeding (light to medium. Not heavy at all) until this morning (now light...

Having hard time catching up the posts ;p Melissa, mine is at the other end of Yishun, nearer to Sembawang. Are we neighbors soon?

Have told both sides of families (except my dad. He can’t keep secrets so he’ll be one of the last to know). My boss. My facial therapist (since one of the treatments is not supposed to be used during pregnancy). The boss at the Chinese medical hall. And of cos my TCM sinseh! Next is my gynae :p

Ok I will do homemade ones. So is your friend expecting boy or girl?

Can we actually eat salad? I feel this round I crave for healthier food. I read somewhere if we have to eat that, we should make our own and not buy from outside. Therefore I also dont dare to eat Subway.

Ideally tuna no. Kraft cheese is ok.

It's usually used as a garnish to bring out flavor of soups. It's cut into flat small pieces and fried till fragrant and crispy. The smell is almost like fried cuttlefish. My last pregnancy my nausea was quite bad and I also only craved for very flavorful food (spicy/sour). Think tom yam...

I am taking prenatal vits which KKH prescribes. Did you take straight after meals? For me, I also get nausea feeling if I dont diligently pop those pills right after meal. Haaa... leather? So strange. My last one my sense of smell also heightened a lot. I especially got very irritated when...

I dont get backache when preggie... and I do think massage is not advisable during pregnancy. Maybe you can try cold packs?

I just tried the baking soda test. It's a girl! My sinseh and lunar calendar gender predictor say it's a boy. So I guess I have 50% chance either way.
