ehh, regarding food, i'm not too picky - my standards very low. According to ting2, nothing very yummy... maybe except for the Tiong Bahru Chwee Kuey?

yeah, i've been burping & farting everyday for the past 1+ months, very loud & very smelly...
my poor hubby, u can imagine =P
Dat's why he say "must be boy", coz only boys are so uncouth to burp & fart so much.. haha.

1 cup coffee daily is ok.. those "coffee addicts" who drink 4-5 cups daily will need to reduce intake.
Tell your hubby don't restrict u so much, o'wise if u dun enjoy the pregnancy, u'll only bear him 1 child.
And I also heard an old wives' tale: preggie mummy should be allowed to eat whatever she likes, o'wise will give birth to salivating/ greedy baby. I thought that's great advise!! Since my hubby heard that, he gave in & let me have my way with Coke, coffee etc. But i limit myself to 1 serving per day.
It's terrific that u can get by with a fruit snack, but now that my appetite is back (with a vengeance), fruits are just not satisfying enuf.. so i'll have a small $0.30 curry puff or a museli bar.
If you're craving for fruits & stuff, by all means, eat lah! But if u crave for prata, then also eat lah! 1 prata a month isn't going to hurt anyone, i think. Aiyo u're eating fruits everyday, scared of what...?
I think pregnancy isn't a time to diet, dun need to be watching weight daily.. anyway to lose weight also shouldn't weigh daily (results shld be long term). U're already eating healthily & can control so much, I'm sure u won't gain too much during your pregnancy. And since u're naturally thin, i'm also sure u can regain your pre-pregnancy figure within 6 months of giving birth.
So just relax & enjoy the experience instd of fretting about what to eat/ what not to eat...

Taking carbo is ok lah. It's the base of the food pyramid. We need balanced diet for healthy baby.

I've never drank hot milk after i'm weaned from the bottle. I enjoy my half-cup of HL Chocolate Milk as part of my bedtime routine. That's why i'm so reluctant to buy Anmum or any other powdered milk that requires me to drink it hot. Maybe my other preggie frens will buy & i can sample before i commit to a tin myself.

u very farnie to drink Dumex... yeah that's the spirit, as long as it's milk, shld be ok... haha.
