Annie,
One Chinese Orchestra instructor whom my school engages shared with me on what his wife ate when she was pregnant. He advises to eat all tropical fruits and that includes payaya, mango, pineapple etc etc. He say basically oranges and apples dun really help much. He say we live in tropical country so taking tropical fruits is good because our body system are adapted to such fruits. Apples and oranges are more meant for ang mos.
They always say pineapple cause miscarriage. I also dunno got truth or not. My gynae tell me not to believe such old wives tales. But to play safe, i dun eat pineapples, anyway no love for it and rarely eats it before pregnancy too.
Hmmm, so guess i can eat mangoes in moderation in yogurts, etc
Payaya causes jaundice in bb, true or not?? Or just old wives tales again?
fates,
Yah, me also heard oranges cause phlegm in bb. I dun take oranges because no love for it, but i love orange juice! haha.. so i drink that now every nite. But limit to one mug only, to play safe
I start to drink coke in my 2nd trimester. Not much though. Only drank 2-3 times so far.
My gynae say tea and coffee is ok. But must have limitation. Luckily i dun have love for both and i never touch coffee since young.
For constipation, i find that the only food that works for me is vegetables! No matter how much fruits i take, constipation can still happen. One plate of veg for dinner always works wonders for me the next day
Yes, i am taking lots of beans and peas too
Both my favourites
Have you thought of where you are going to deliver? Mount A or Gleneagles? Dr Foong's nurse advised me to choose Gleneagles so that its easier for Dr F to check on the status of my labour.
