oranges, I didnt dare to take any herbs in first tri, best to wait till after week 14 or 15 minimum. I started taking cordyceps from about week 15-16 onwards. My MIL is the one who bought for me, one 'liang' for around $300++, from horsebrand (we trust only horsebrand and eu yang sang, cause there are fake cordyceps selling everywhere).

peg peg,
I went there yest for the triple test too. Anyway the test not food related so can be after food also fine. I feel ok after that...no pains or giddy. Maybe later i call sharon to ask abt the folic acid.
Have you put on weight? I didn't gain much since the last time only a miserable 0.4Kg. But how come i feel heavier now..gynae kept reassuring me it's fine.

i guess i must be quite weak then that's why i felt all the discomfort and fatigue...
been taking essence of chicken every alternate days but still tired...
well, despite my constant diarrhea and loose stools, i still gain abt 2-3kg...
maybe i've been eating too much junk...hehe...
but dun worry, i'm sure your appetite will start to increase and gain some more weight...
when's ur detailed scan?

today morning did my maternity ward tour at raffles hosp with my hubby. my hubby very comical, asked what is the TV in the delivery suite used for since no time to watch tv. they have a leather armchair for the hubby to sit in the delivery suite.
we tour the one-bedded ward and it came with internet access. my hubby can definitely make use of the internet access. the nursery had two babies when we were there which is good becos we want as high a staff to baby ratio as possible for our baby. we saw the two-bedded ward but we are willing to pay premium for my hubby to stay over and not having to share toilets.

oranges, you can take chicken essence now, if you can take heatiness, can try to take chicken regularly (eg, few times a week), should help with blood circulation and gives you the extra boost you need. Also, rest as much as you can. that's all you can do for now. Its v natural to feel tired during this period.

I get heaty very easily mayb will take 1-2 bottles per wk. I can only take chicken durin wkend(cos wkend then go mkting,wkday we dun cook).
I tink Supermarket frozen chicken not so fresh so didn't buy n cook soup. Hw abt u,u bought the chicken fm wet mkt or supermkt?
I goin for my checkup tmr,i hope my bb will be heatlhy.

oranges, yeah, they have fresh chickens too, but you need to go earlier, cause from what I notice, NTUC dun re-stock fresh chicken (usually snapped up the fastest) after its sold out (carrefour replenishes stock several times throughout the whole day). So just go earlier to NTUC make sure they're still available.
Berry,
Think TMC also giving freebies, if I didn't c wrongly fm some previous postings.. mayb it's at the end of the session is it
..
btw, U felt yr braxton hicks liao buay.. Mine very uncomfortable since last wk and the backache is killing me.. sometimes i sit for a longer period of time and the moment I get up, I feel my bones is going to give way, it's the kind of rheumatism pain
. Do u have it? ..
Young jes,
I've heard many good comments abt Mrs Wong too.. it's just tt I'm delivering in Mt A, so I want to b more familiar wif this hosp so tt when I give birth I feel comfortable..
Either one, u'll benefit greatly cause they teaches mainly the same good old stuff tt every 1st time MTB should noe.. Just choose the one U most comfy wif and dun book too late..
I envy u ladies.. can take chix essence up to twice a wk.. I can only take it once fortnightly, if not I kena heatiness man! Talking abt this, it's been a long time since I've opened up a bottle of essence.. I gonna get one now

good morning ladies!
CubbiebBB, last sat when I went for my antenatal class, we got some free gifts as well keke... got a small bottle of Avent liquid talc, 3 bottles of latacyd body wash (for baby), 1 bottle of latacyd femnine wash, 1 small Avent milk bottle and alot of writeups/brouchures.
Actually till now I still dun know how to identify BHC leh. How to tell? I've been having bad backaches for days liao, everyday and everynight, no matter how I sit/stand or even lie down, can still feel my backache. And sometimes my joints(elbows and knees) also ache. Its so common that I'm almost used to the sensation liao lol. Lucky my hubby learnt how to give me back massage during antenatal class, so he's been massaging my back every night, and it really helps alot. Try getting your hubby to massage your back, and use the deep heat rub called 'Bengay'(green tube). Its recommended to me by the head nurse in my gynea's office, very safe & quite effective.
Young Jes, the antenatal class I attended really helped alot. It will be really great if you can attend with your hubby. It will teach him alot about how to support you emotionally throughtout the pregnancy, what to expect, how to give you labour support, baby care (how to bathe, groom and diaper baby), and more. Highly recommended.

angelia, is it Mrs wong's class? If it is, I garantee you'll enjoy every min of it! She's really good, gives alot of useful and practical tips that are not found in textbooks. The rest of the nurses conducting the other classes are all trained by her, she's the most experienced and senior there, she's even written a book that will launch sometime later this year.
Aiyo, I accidentally ate one and half slice of slightly moudly bread!! Now keeping my fingers crossed that my tummy will be fine. I didnt notice the slight moudly part until I finished one and half slice!

Chihiro, Emma,
I'm in week 14 this week. I keep hoping to feel better but so far still don't.. it's starting to get me down and I'm thinking stupid thoughts in my head and then feeling bad about it
I've been taking calcium pills and folic acid with sprite as i threw up after taking it with water. Anyone know if there's any bad effects?

chihiro, so far my tummy still feels fine *keeping fingers crossed*. Next time I'll make sure I peer closely at my food before eating it...
For your constipation, try taking one big glass of hot water the first thing in the morning, this is taught by my antenatal instructor, works almost everytime for me. V effective. Also, try taking yogurt every day, it helps.

oranges, yogurt is good for health and 100% fine/good for us.
CubbieBB, for the sake of your back, better stop doing packing/housework now. We still have few months to go, I'm actually quite worried that my backache will worsen as time goes by, also worried that I wun even be able to walk properly. Imagine how inconvenient and terrible it'll becomes worse.

Chihiro.. actually i have not dare to eat chilli for the past 2 months plus as I'm afraid it will aggravate the bloatedness and nausea. Could that be what cause your irritation?
I also notice that if i wait too long before i eat it will also make me feel sick, like, too much bile or gastric juice build up in the stomach or what. And after eating throw up, don't feel like eating after that

Micky,
Did the hospital tour early as wanted to make sure hubby is comfortable with the hospital. if he dont like than would have to look for another one. luckily he is okay with it.
TBL,
me and my SIL been drinking coke. but it is more like 120 ml of coke with lots of ice and every few days. think our babies like coke becos we both coke crazy. I let most of the gas go out of the coke before drinking so that I dont have so much gas built up.
Chihiro,
oily food makes me throw up quite consistently during the 5-8 week than it got better. i am a very slow eater so maybe that helps.
