wow leobbsmom
im tempted by the raspberry tea, can i buy it anywhere, or must it be bought online from momsinmind? i think lipton also has raspberry tea. it doesnt contain caffeine?
i'm getting heaps of calcium from the heaps of milk ive been drinking. i take milk formula for pregnant ladies, think its not bad.

hi pupsandcups, as mentioned in my email...I bought mine from Carrefour, $4.20 for 25bags. The brand is Dalcott, Gourmet Ceylon Tea, from Sri Lanka. It comes in wooden packaging.
my fren bought from MIM, and she paid $7 for delivery...unless u stay near MIM la..
The Lipton one comes with other berries, I'm not sure if it's too sweet for preggies. raspberry alone is not so sweet, but smell sweet la.. think it's the fragrance lah!
i start to drink after lunch or heavy breakfast. coz dowan to drink when tummy is empty. so one bag will last me till office hrs are over. i only drink during office hrs, coz dowan to fill myself with tea the whole day.
okie, i'm going home liao, mommies!
chat with u'll tomoro! =)
take care and hv a good dinner later! =)

o dear, when i take birds nest i take heaps like 2 bowls or more, cos MIL prepares in big loads, anyway i think birds nest is a waste of money, $170 for like 8 pcs, and she uses 4 pieces at one go...
i also take black chicken soup now n then, also dunno if got use.
i feel best to stick to cereals, vege, fresh fruits n milk to nourish baby.

BIRD'S NEST (pardon me for e long-winded post! can ignore if u like)
during my 1st pregnancy, i took bird's nest 5x between 5th-20th weeks. MIL was nice enuff 2 cook for me. i stopped cos 2 GFs shared wif me their experiences.
1) GF has 3kids. she took bird's nest faithfully every wk since 6mths for 2nd child. she didnt take for 1st child cos couldnt afford it then. when her 2nd child popped, within e 1st 2mths, e infant went 2 KK/PD 2 'chou tan' - clear e phlegm. my GF shared wif me how 'xin ku' it was for her girl n how heartache 2 c her girl go thru e process, of course not forgetting e $$ spent. her 1st child didnt hv tis problem so she suspected tat it could be due 2 bird's nest. she didnt take bird's nest for her 3rd child n there was no such problems
2) GF has 2 kids. she took bird's nest quite often fr 3mths (not wkly but at least once every 2-3wks). both kids kenna very bad phlegm problems in their 1st 2-3mths, went thru e 'chou tan' process, lotsa $$ spent at PD & KKH.
both GFs strongly recommend me NOT 2 take bird's nest in view of me having atopic genes (sensitive skin-eczema, lungs-asthma, nose-sinus, eyes-conjuncivitis & stomach-irritable bowl symdrome). as i may pass on e genes 2 my boy, if he kenna sensitive lungs, he's quite vulnerable 2 suffering fr phlegmy cough attacks.
after hearing such stories, i quickly told my MIL 2 stop cooking and she wasnt convinced. in fact, i told MIL 2 stop cooking when i was abt 16wks but she still continued 2 cook some for me when i was abt 20wks n i had no choice but 2 eat e bird's nest.
i told her abt my GFs' experience n my mum's advice abt NOT necessary 2 eat bird's nest (my mummy tiks tat bird's nest isnt effective for everyone). MIL kept saying how gd bird's nest is n how her frien spends $1K+ 2 cook bird's nest for her daughter. my husband has 2 step in 2 stop his mother fr cooking more bird's nest for me.
i switched 2 eating fu zhou all e way until i popped. i hv 2 admit tat my bb's complexion is fantastic. husband & i dun hv fantastic complexion (lotsa pimples & breakouts) but there are many factors for bb 2 hv gd complexion & health
1) genes
some parents hv fantastic genes for their skin. flawless, rosy & fair type. for me, i'm not flawless n i'm more yellow-based than rosy, fair type. husband n i also hv acne problems
2) BM
there's some argument tat breastfed bbs hv betta complexion than bbs who drink FM cos FM is heaty.
3) mummy's food intake (IF bb is on BM)
if u consume healthy food (minimal fried food, heaty stuff, etc), u can c positive results on ur bb's face. i've come across a few mummies who tell me tat when they eat heaty/fried/curry food, their bbs tend 2 hv 'pimples' outbreak.
4) proper maintenance
it helps 2 keep ur bb face clean after every milk/solids feed by cleaning wif fresh water (not advisable 2 use wet wipes on bb face all e time). it's also gd 2 keep bb fingers/hands clean cos they'll keep touching their faces when they r >1mth old.
5) environment & living conditions
it helps when u keep ur bb face clean by keeping e environment/surroundings clean.
in conclusion, for my 1st boy, i tik drinking BM for 14mths may help, keeping his face/fingers/hands/surroundings clean help too. i also apply Mustela Cleansing Fluid on his face every nite so i tik tat helps. lastly e fu zhou which i took wkly may hv help too. there r so many factors which i cant pinpoint which is e main factor. Also, no phlegmy problem for him until he was abt 9mths old when he kenna a very bad cough episode.
for my 2nd boy, i havent touch a single strand of bird's nest so far n probably wont do so. i'll stick 2 wat i did for my 1st boy n hopefully complexion & healthy turns out gd.
DISCLAIMER:
i'm not saying tat bird's nest isnt gd. i just decide 2 play safe in view of my genetic condition (atopic genes). my GFs both have sinus/asthmatic problems hence probably their kids kenna e phlegmy problems while being infants.
it varies fr person 2 person n i've come across a few friens who took bird's nest n their kids turn out fine wif gd complexion BUT bird's nest isnt e sole factor....genes, maintenance, etc.
at e end of e day, it boils down 2 taking EVERYTHING in moderation.

morning all,
yesterday went for check up again baby is 801g at 25 week.
BTW I went to AMK to look for maternity clothes and found that there is one maternity shop selling price was very cheap. From $17.90 - $29.90.
maternity clothes all around $20-$29 and pants and skirts around $17.90-$29.90.
YOu can imagine i bought a similar pants for just $27.90 and first one i bought at my office area is $49.
i feel like i have been chop by the maternity shop at my office area.
And the clothes at AMK are much much more fashionable and alot of variety...
I was so excited that i bought 2 skirt 1 pant and 2 tops. and cost $110+ compare to i can only buy 2 pants at those expensive maternity shops its very worth it...
The shop is near the HAWKER CENTRE. Beside a CHinese herbal shop. You all can go there and search for it...

any recommendations for diaper bags? preferably unisex (solid colours) cos think hb will be carrying it most of the time.
just talked to some friends yest abt combi. they were saying it's gd but can only use until 2+ yrs old. so in the end, might be considering buying maclaren quest now. sigh... so confused. hb says dun have to buy so early but I've heard that the gst might be increased (dunno true or not. heard from a taxi driver). anyway, was thinking of buying it during great singapore sales. now doing research 1st.
hi kelly,

Hi ladies,
I also heard from my frens that too much bird's nest is not good for baby.. in term of phlegm & asthma & allergies.
Went for check up yesterday & baby is doing fine. At 24 weeks, baby weighs 668gms & all appears ok. it was a quick visit..
regarding strollers, heard that mcclaren quest is not bad.. lighter, cheaper... Xt Techno can only use until ~15kg? & most combi can last only until 20kg max... haven't made up my mind yet..

Hi ladies, I just went for my checkup yesterday. Gained 4kg in 1 mth!! Gynae said i need to watch my diet, and cut down on carbo....the babies are growing well, abt 930grams and 750grams each...i'm at wk 25 now, is that too heavy? I can feel the weight pressing on the pelvic area already....so the doc is recommending that I restrict my movements....
augbaby: with so many ladies booking her, would mdm inah be able to take on all of us?

Think we need to let her know our EDD & location? wait all confirm sama sama same time then we all blur! keke! But i did ask her if she can handle boh.. but she say, 1 day do more then one of us lor.. and all start different timing, depends on when we deliver & delivery method...
Erin00,
I dunno if baby is big or not. Gyane says the size is appropriate, so, ok lor! I shoot up in weight gain this week.. so, i weigh 49kg now, compared to pre-pregnancy weight of 44kg.. phew... wondering how much i will end up with!
Raspberry tea can help with delivery? I want! I am so fearful of the process.. really dunno what to expect.. my hubby keep telling me millions of women go through labour, so ask me not to kick up a fuss..

I read the following article from this mth issue MOTHER & BABY.
THIRD TRIMESTER
TEA TIME
--------
Raspberry leaf tea is a pregnant woman's best friend during the last trimester, as it tones the uterus and makes contractions more effective.
'Drinking the tea is reputedly better than taking the capsules.' says Michelle. Because of its effectiveness, its vital that you don't take raspberry leaf tea before 34WEEKS and, even then, do not drink more than TWO CUPS PER DAY. If you have had a prevous caesarean, or start having strong contractions, ask your doctor for advice.
Hope I have contribute something today! yeah!

this is true, and apparently v popular in the US, recommended by doctors too.
to encourage the flow of BM, drink half a can of beer.
its vvvv true, my aunt who's husband is a doc, did it and she said she had enough milk to feed a herd!
