Icylemon, I've checked with frens and colleagues and even the confinement nanny I've engaged, can start taking birds' nest now. But either take it once every fortnight or once a month cos' too 'bu' BB will end up very big then hard to be delivered. Some pple also said that some fine feathers can still be found in birds' nest, so when ingested, sometimes BB can get asthma. Thus, don't consumer too much. And oh, remember not to touch hashima cos' that thing is super 'liang'.

Alethea, detailed scan usually around 20 weeks...18 weeks not sure whether they will allow you to do or not...got to call and check.
The $100 plus one is not really very big...maybe the size of those canned pork legs...you know those you give to relatives during guo da li?

Alethea...actually I have heard it's not good to scan too much.
Hi Kate
The weight of the baby is written on the detailed scan with all other measurements of baby's organs. The detailed scan will also state baby's position at the time of measurement and the position of your placenta. However, the length of the baby is not included cos baby is too long to measure now, according to gynae.
Hope this helps.

janey, I can only take the without sugar one...cos got to prevent GD from coming back.
janey,
I bought the concentrated birdnest from LHJ, the with added sugar one isit the smaller bottle one? With so call pervatives to keep it longer? Think is not gd to eat tat according to the guy, esp for preg. Actually if u know how to cook, buy the box to boil will be more worth coz got 7pcs, then the guy said one concentrated bottle got about 5pcs only.

Morning mummies,
Alethea: My gynae say it is best to do the detail scan at 20 weeks when the bb is of the right size. I actually tot of doing it later cos of my scar from my previous birth. I tot do later can see clearer but my gynae say if there are any problem detected, still can salvage.
Sherl: You may want to take pi pao gao. Drink it like water. It may help. It actually helps me when i was very sick few weeks ago. and gynae say it is safe to drink it.

icylemon, I tried yum char at chinatown and toa payoh's xin fu yum char and give up.
I also like Shang Palace but a bit more expensive. Noble House also not bad but now dunno standard still the same or not.

icylemon,
toa payoh is xing fu, yum cha is in Chinatown, but dunnoe if the two are related. I find the food at the former good, the latter not nice, but both costly. Red Star offers the best balance between quality and price.
Yeah yeah, Crystal Jade good too but limited, although then again I only eat those few dishes. My dim sum choice usually limited to: har gao, fu pi juan, carrot cake, fun cheong (prawn/scallop), guilin gao or yang zhi gan lu for dessert. kekekekekekekekeke
