Pearlein, excess Vit A will lead to toxicity which results in tetrogenic effects (birth defects).
If taken from fruits and veges, it is alright. However, too much liver or supplements can lead to toxicity. Best to check with gynae whatever supps you are taking or intending to take.

pearlein,
We are advised not to "overdose" on carrots coz they contain high levels of vitamin A, which is not good for bb. So just take in moderation.
iceblue, I gained slightly less than 1 kg at last checkup, but it's normal to lose weight during 1st tri esp if you have bad MS. Note that bb is only a few grams at this stage so actually what we gain/lose is not reflective of whether bb is growing.

milderina, i used slow cooker to boil soup b4 but i think that to boil it under fire taste better lor.
Zenn, I'm using thermal cooker. V good if you intend to cook soup everyday.
Usually I prepare the ingredients the night before, morning wake up throw the ingredients in, add water, bring to boil then put in the thermal pot. Evening time come home to drink the soup, v yummy!!
My mum also using this to cook soup for me everyday. Makes v nice herbal soups!! The meat will be soft and nice, the soup will be v sweet

Zenn, I dunno how much cos ours are gifts from my mum's frens
I can't seem to find the brand on the thermal pot...
My recipes v simple. Depending on what I feel like eating that day we will either get herbs from medical hall and just add chicken/pork/beef and veges or just add whatever we have at home.
My hubby's fave is chicken ginseng soup. Ginseng, red dates, white fungus, chicken, wolfberries.
I prefer beef stew or mutton soup. Beef stew just put cubed beef, carrots, potato, celery, long beans. Mutton soup we put black pepper, white pepper, mutton cubes, some herbs we get from medical hall to get rid of the mutton smell.
Milderina, slow cooker if on whole day waste alot of electricity. Our electricity went down by S$40/month after we started using thermal pot instead of slow cooker.
Thermal pot has 2 pots. 1 is the steel pot like our normal cooking pot. Another is an insulated plastic pot which keeps the heat in and cooks the food with its own heat. I usually place my ingredients in the steel pot, then bring it to boil then put it into the plastic thermal pot to cook for the whole day
U can go see demo at CK Tang basement when you got time

BTW, Zenn, I think the one you saw at Taka is the Japanese brand, Z something...The logo is an elephant...That brand super expensive, but my parents swear by it...our family got the thermal flask which we use daily for the past 10 years. Still clean and nice and excellent condition!
Zenn, u ask me v cheem question lei...I just went to inspect the pot hor, got no brand or no wordings lei...so I also dunno how many L it is...
But, it can cook enough soup for family of 6 people
and we can have second helping if we want
My mum says it is the medium pot. Got 1 size smaller and 1 size bigger...she saw at CK Tang (actually, she bio this pot v long le, but nvr buy...haha...)

Pearlein, I think somewhere in this forum they are having a BP for the double boiler. You might want to check out, cos the prices are much cheaper than outside, but I dunno if good or not.
My mum bought those traditional white pot with cover, then got blue colour painting of sparrow on the side of the pot. S$10 only. Then she put it in a pot of boiling water and let it boil
Cos only make bird nest on weekends so it's not v troublesome. My mum find the electric double boiler a waste of space (it is v bulky!!!).
