Actually hor, other than plan the bb to be boy boy this time, I also plan it such that the confinement will gana the least number of public holidays. Coz last time my confinement included 5 days worth of public holidays (mid Nov to Jan)so was determined not to let it happen again! haha!
So this time we will all only gana National Day!!

I have no advice from gynae regarding the jabs yet. Will let u know if he mention
Hi Okasan,
I think i gained 10 kg liao heeeee... i am now in my 28th week. Funny lah, i dun seem to eat as much as my colleague but how come i gain weight so fast too?
Let's see three weeks later, how much i will gain. Maybe CNY cookies really make us fat?? But i dun eat too much of that too!
Hi Peng,
Try to cut down on coke liao. Coke does a lot of harm on our bodies, so it might be true that coke weaken bb's bones. Now i dun have any gasy drinks at home so that i won't be tempted to drink them heee..

hi all
I am from the June 06 thread & am consolidating the next bulk purchase for Neurogain Pb fish oil plus. For me, gynae recommends taking the capsules from 3rd month. It costs about $31 (30 capsules) to buy from the gynaes and pharmacies.
I have contacts to get at $26.50 each for a minimum of 5 bottles.
Pls kindly email [email protected] by 15/2/06. Thank you
Anyway, for those who are clueless abt Neurogain PB plus fish oil, these are the info.
Product Details
DHA & AA: EFA`s with a structural & functional outcome.
Everybody needs DHA & AA. DHA & AA are particularly important early in life to meet structural requirements for brain & eye development, growth and immune functions. DHA & AA enter into the composition of biomembranes and play an important role in the proper functioning of the membranes and receptor-neurotransmitter functions.
Our ability to synthesize DHA & AA from precursors ALA & LA is limited. We rely more on dietary sources of DHA & AA rather than conversion from precursors. It means, the less we get DHA & AA from our diet, the less we have in our body. At times of high requirements, like during pregnancy & lactation, such a dietary intake should not be neglected in order to minimize the risk of deprivation. DHA & AA can be found in fish & eggs.
A healthy & balanced diet is particularly important during pregnancy & lactation to minimize the risk of fetal dietary deprivation. Conditions like closely spaced pregnancies, multiple pregnancies, unhealthy maternal diet, lifestyle should require extra attention.
?Maternal DHA consumption during pregnancy and lactation continues to be studied intensively as a means to improve pregnancy outcomes as well as to optimize perinatal brain and retinal development.?
What is NeuroGain PB PLUS
NeuroGain PB PLUS is a special formulation of conditionally Essential Fatty Acids for Pregnant & Breast-feeding women. NeuroGain PB PLUS is rich in DHA, low in EPA with AA & OA to help Pregnant & Breast-feeding women meet important pre & peri natal nutritional requirements. NeuroGain PB PLUS provides a balanced intake of omega 3 Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA), omega 6 Arachidonic Acid (AA) and omega 9 Oleic Acid (OA) fatty acids.
Who needs NeuroGain PB PLUS
Pregnent & breast-feeding
History of low birth weight, pre-term births
Frequent, multiple pregnancies
Allergy to fish & eggs
Poor, unbalanced maternal diet
What is the ratio of DHA : EPA in NeuroGain PLUS ?
The NeuroGain PLUS "DHA oil" is specially concentrated in DHA and diluted in EPA to mimic natural levels of DHA & EPA in the human milk in line with WHO recommendations for DHA supplementation at an early stage of life.
Early in life, high EPA levels may lead to: increased blood loss at the time of delivery , depressed AA status and affected growth.
Ingredient
DHA-rich edible fish oil, AA, OA, EPA and Vitamin E as antioxidant in a soft bovine gelatin capsule (gelatin, glycerine, water)
The DHA: EPA ratio in this formulation is higher than 10:1.
Direction
Dosage : Take 1 capsule daily with meals or as directed by your physician.

Hi Good Morning!!
Celeste, probably we will try Korea. I saw some itenaries for mid March, still skiing. I guess if i ever go there, i'll prob just sit there and play snow with my boy boy. He loves snow. We brought him to snow city and he kept asking us to bring him back there again. I saw in classified ads this morning, cost only $499 wh is cheaper than going to HK. Prob Korea is not a bad idea. The $499 itenery is not so packed so it's kind of good for us also. So now, it's either HK or Korea. I hope to go Korea instead bec i have been to HK a few times already. My mother says Jeju is quite boring leh but i also heard opposite comments fr pp who have gone there. U still going Taiwan? aiya, last chance to travel before u pop... go as far as u can... next time prob no chance until your kids are much older and u have to pay for 3 or 4 persons.

peng, so your hubby bar u from travelling? ***sob sob**** hee...after going to europe, i don't think i can tahan those long hual flights anymore
too tiring... so going to US never crossed my mind. Ur $800 voucher was fr which agency? go somewhere near lor...then not so tiring. Talking abt Korea makes me "xing yang yang" already... later i think i will call the agency to ask. Yap the food in Korea sucks....i heard it's steamboat, BBQ and kim chi most of the time... hmmmm... may be a prob for my boy boy. I think i will pack some maggie mee to eat if i ever go.
tinkerbell.. my agency is JAC.. but cos of my condition, they r very nice. they allow me to book from any travel agency as long as i like it.. so if u want, u can use my voucher to book from any agency.. the thing is that i will get my agent to help u to book for the tour from ur agency of ur choice..
yes food is a trouble there.. dun eat kim chi i guess cos it's preserved food. not good fo rus.

gers,
really ar, cant take those mints sweet ar. I have been eating "Vicks Vapodrops" whenever I cough.
Me too intend to go for a short trip maybe to BKK but my mum dont encourage leh. My honeymoon I went to US, I strongly dont encourage preggy mum to take such a long haul flight tho' transit is available. Very tiring one !! Korea is a nice place, was there 6 years ago.. Jeju very nice !!

Hi gals,
I have found this website on ban sprout pillow. It look nicer to me but each cost about $19.90.
Not sure whether is the same as the one in the bulk purchase? Any comments?

Think I jackpot on the 15th day. The way I calculate not correct huh? I'm really lucky then! I have been monitoring for a few months before we tried. A colleague told me when we ovulate, the discharge we produce will increase and be clear. So, I combine both pieces of info and figured that mine is around that time lor. I'm on a fixed 30-day cycle
