Tks Milderina & Aquarius,
Actually i have craving for prawns too, but i have eczema which has turned quite bad since preggie (gynae also say will get worse).
Cannot apply my steriod cream anymore oso, so goto steer clear of prawns n crabs. *sniff*
Another preggie fren of mine doesnt take sharks fins, sardines and certain fish due to higher chance of mercury? But i still continue eating sharks fins when there's the chance heee, ok rite?
Seems diff gynae advise differently on food intake .

my friend gynae advise dun take shark, swordfish, mackerel & tuna. Cannot take papaya, grapes & pineapple as well. I dun think i will take any shark related stuff cos mercury affect the bb nerve system.

Drizzle and icy,
I also have eczema, but surprisingly my eczema got better in the initial stages of my pregnancy... only last week it started itching again, then I scratched, then got worse...
icy, my gynae advised no sharksfin coz of the mercury content... best to avoid the big sea fishes as well...

Icy, mercury content in sharks' fin is alright. Unless you are talking about eatin 5-6 big bowls of it everyday then got problem...
If occasionally eat 1-2 bowls is alright
Mercury content in fishes available for sale in Singapore is not so high until it is dangerous for fetus. As long as eaten in moderation can already

Milderina, they dun do U/S at polyclinic. If you want U/S, they will refer you to KKH as subsidized patient.

Zenn, that time I got sore throat, only take honey mixed with lemon juice. Then doc gave some anti-inflamation meds. That's all. Oh ya, then Dr Woo told me to take pi pa gao

Luo Han Guo my mum dun let me take. She say v cooling, she got a m/c before after taking luo han guo, so she quite strict about that...
The honey with lemon is 2 tbsp of honey mix with 1 tsp of lemon juice (leftover lemon can put in fridge to absorb smells, then your fridge will smell nice). Just swallow the honey with lemon juice, don't drink water for 1/2 hour.

Talk about constipation... i used to hv it b4 i pregnant. Now not so much of prob as i drink lots of water plus eat 3 servings of fruits everyday. As for yakult, i did ask my gynae and he said its ok to drink.
As i am abit kiasi, scared that will affect the baby, so i din take anything when i hv mild sorethroat, i jus drank lots of plain water.

Sherl, you are right...my gynae said the same thing about some viral infection might affect baby but generally common flu is still ok...if too long doesn't get well then might affect baby.
