milo: I take yoghurt about 3 times a week - good source of protein and calcium and it is said that it can help prevent fungal infections down THERE. There are low sugar ones (marigold or Brownes I think) but more ex.

annie: did you have migraines before your pregnancy? Sometimes it may be due to high blood pressure - has your doctor checked that? My blood pressure is normal, so I think my migraines mainly happen due to not drinking enough water or purely not sleeping enough.

they say to "avoid handling cat litter" because of the risk of getting toxoplasmosis, which is a disease found in cat faeces (i don't know about other animals) and can cause deformities if mother catches it in pregnancy (it's one of the reasons why we have to also make sure food is well cooked...

hi ino, I starting feeling that about 2 weeks ago (i.e. at 16 wks) but i thought that it might be bloatedness or something. at my last appointment (last friday) Dr couldn't hear heartbeat so did quick ultrasound. she says bb was moving around alot - but I dindn't feel the movements...

I'm also a KKH patient. Had to sign myself up for TPS because the waiting times and the service in the normal clinics were terrible (the first appointment almost made me cry). Dr was good though so I decided to stay with KKH, and oso my company would only co-pay for antenatal services in...
