Tks bluegrapes too! Ya, the detailed scan i really enjoy as can spend so long time w bb.. normally at gynae like so fast past oradi.. When I saw our bb open and close his mouth.. it was so heartwarming...u will sure enjoy it! But i felt a little tender the next few days above the pubic area as the lady prodded quite hard as bb was not in good position to see the heart valves..

The stock base don give you extreme thirst after eatin and the char-siew is so tender and yummy.. normally its tough, dry and smells porky.. this is so yummy. Remember to order the thick soup base! Take escalator in front of Venezia gelato to the floor above.

Sugarbean, glad that everything well fine for you at the detailed scan.
Like Bluegrapes, m looking forward to mine this Wed. For the ramne, could it be that it's overdosed with MSG, that's why so yummy and made u thirsty?

It costs me $42 per 30 caps.. neurogain, is not mistaken from m'sia right? sorry, no offence to any m'sian.. but the recent Hi5 bread makes me a bit wary abt quality n processin plants.. esp with fish oils as, if, not done properly can and may contain mercury/toxic.. sorry, don mind my asking.. cos if ok, i don mind switching as mine quite ex. tks again!

Yeah, AletheaT and my gynae prescribe us Neurogain fish oil on a regular basis. Supposed to be very good for baby's brain development.

Nana, congrats!!!
Nana, congrats!!!
I recall that some mummies here bought the Lao Hang Jia birds' nest. Was at the shop over the weekend and got recommended the concentrated one (small for $88 to be consumsed over 12 days; big for $300+, consumed over 3 weeks). But was quite turned off by the looks of it, cos' never seen birds' nest in globs.
Appreciate feedback from those mummies currently taking it. How is the taste like? Easy to swallow? Is the non-sugar one very yucky? Else, is the one with sugar too sweet? Do u all add some water to it before consuming?

Icy, how come got $124+? They only told me got 2 sizes - $88 or $300+. U mean they were able to give u more than 50% for the big bottle?
Yah, looking at it, I reckoned that the 'birdy'
smell would be strong too. I know that smell and taste, worse than egg white. I see also quite scared, some more it was in globs. If I don't buy this, then what other birds' nest should I get. My mom is only free to boil birds' nest soup for me over the weekend. Tawt I should get some instant one to eat on weekdays too.

Hi, mommies, I'm new here. But also due some time in Jan 07.
Alethea - I took the Lo Hong ka birdnest when I was expecting my gal in 2004. Am taking it currently for my 2nd one. It's easy to eat (like chai yan). Took both the sweetened and non-sweetened ones before. Of coz the sweet one nicer
My mum-in-law bought for me at about $128 or $130 per bottle but if buy 3 bottles, can get 15% discount. I think your $300+ refers to 3 bottles after discount coz that's what my mum-in-law paid.

I guess the Lo Hong Ka bird's nest is really convenient if mommies are lazy or have no time to brew the birds nest. Actually I read somewhere before that the Lo Hong Ka bottle contains 7 slices of the birds nest.
Actually I don't enjoy eating also but apparently very good for babies' skin. I only take birds nest and black chicken soup during my 1st pregnancy and my girl got beautiful skin (not sure if really attributed to the birds nest
). 1 big bottle can last for 3 weeks.

WElcome Ashley_mom!
bluegrapes, I also dunnoe how to cook actually. Think it depends on the kind of bird's nest you take. I know some you need to pluck impurities out wan. From what I see my mum do you just soak the bird's nest in water, and then you double-boil it with water and rock sugar??

Heard that if buy those birds nest, must make sure it's clean ie. no feathers. If not, may cause asthma. Not sure if true or not.
Icylemon - Actually babies below 2 years old cannot take honey coz got some toxin inside. But pregnant women can take. I did some research on the internet coz I was coughing badly few weeks back and took honey to soothe the throat.

sherl which one you bought? that day they have the one with Ginko I think at 2 boxes(6 bottles in one box) for $26.
I always buy the normal one during the sales at $9.90 for box of 6. Actually I tried New Moon, not bad...I find it better than EYS.

How come cannot take honey ah??
Sherl.....Babies below 1 or 2 yrs old cannot take HONEY. Must remember.
The danger with honey is that it can potentially be contaminated with botulism spores. These spores usually do not survive in the adult human body because the environment is too acidic. However, a baby's digestive system is not yet mature, nor acidic enough, to always inhibit the growth of these spores. The problem with the spores is that they can produce the deadly botulinum toxin. Unlike other food poisonings that affect the GI system, botulism affects the nervous system.
There is no need to test your baby for botulism unless you detect symptoms. Early signs include fatigue, dizziness, and headache. Diarrhea may appear at first, but because the nervous system is affected, constipation occurs later. Symptoms usually arise in 18 to 36 hours, but can take up to a week.
