Barbara, not sure whether you mean your mum cooked liver for you in the past when you are not pregnant or now. But pregnant women should avoid liver because although it is strong source of iron, it is also very high in Vit A (I think its Vit A, read from this book What to expect when you are expecting but very forgetful nowadays) which is not good for pregnant woman. But vit A from green veg are good. So, make sure you gals dun eat liver and when ordering bah chor mee, must tell them no liver. Better to be safe.
Also read from the same chapter that orangey/yellow food is good and papaya is one of them leh, that's why I have been eating papaya. But now, I scare to eat papaya, maybe wait till second trimester to be safe. Ultimately, our chinese practice can be quite different from ang mohs.

back from lunch....so tired. Always feel tired, need to sit down. Can't walk too long ...my legs will feel very tired.....feels like a sick person... u know.........
eating strawberry now....wowww...so good. Think now my preference is veg & fruits.....fruits really can keep the "errr" feeling away.
Barb.....factory difinely closed after tis one. Too old by then also age wise....body feel extremely tried.
Too old to feed the kids...still need to slot till very old age. Better stop & can retire early & can hv "er ren si jie" again...

Hi JC..
Yup..Im into fruits now..it curbs my 'sugar' need. Stawberries, kiwis, green apples..suddenly they are all my favourites..I never really like fruits previously..
Hi barbara..
Home-school is a good option for us..cos it does help to save money..childcare is really costly now compared to last time I think..and since Im formerly a childcare teacher, well I can use my knowledge to teach my kids..My friend also ask me if I want to take in her pre-school kids teach them at my home..then can earn some income..

Jc, yah, should just take screening test first, if high risk then can consider amnio, if not, better not do it cos there is a risk element. Anyway, we should take things one step at a time, think the best thing we can do for our babies now is to eat nutritious food and rest well, then all our babies will grow bigger soon!! So happy to see baby growing huh from the u/s. My baby was moving quite a bit this morning, so cute! Like what my colleague said, I will keep replaying that image in my mind until the next visit. When I see the baby, it makes all the pain from the jab worthwhile.
cherryale,
Im also back from gynae visit this morning. How was your visit? Was your bb 2cm as u have hoped?
My bb is now at 10 wks measuring 2.95cm. Asked my gynae whether is it ok, he said ok. Then i told him that some of the girls here around 10 wks measuring around 3.5cm. He said difference only a little so need not worry too much.

Ladies,
Regarding eating of oranges, believe most of u have heard that orange will cause phelgm right?
For me, i have strong cravings for oranges in my 1st pregnancy and so is this current one. So i ate quite a fair bit of orange and orange juices during my 1st pregnancy. And true enough, my bb has alot of phelgm during the 1st few months. I felt so guilty when i knew abt it and told myself that i shouldnt indulge on too much oranges when im pregnant again.
So now that Im pregnant again, i will try to curb my cravings for oranges. Like i will take on alternate days and the rest of the days will eat others like pears, apples, bananas, dragon fruits, etc.

Hi Starlite,
yes, baby measuring 2.2cm at 9 weeks. I also asked gynae is my baby too small as when I compared to the gals here, it seems small. He said of cos some babies are longer, some shorter. But does not mean longer is better. He said there was increased fetus movement this week so this show that baby is healthy and should not worry. Think we dun have to worry about the size, just focus on eating well. Naturally that will translate into growth for baby. We must think positive ok??

Starlite,
yah, at 8 weeks, my baby already moving the legs but hb didnt catch that. Today, moved both hands and legs and frequently too so even my blur hb also saw. maybe your gynae didnt point out to you? Some gynaes a bit more reserved and dun like to talk, so it is up to you to ask. During your visit, you should ask your gynae to point out to you when he see fetal movement. It is very very amazing, you sure will like it.

tat time when I went for chk up the bb doesn't seem to b moving or perhaps I din c or maybe bb is slping.
bt I make sure the nx time round I will wake the bb up so tat I can c him/ her move.
Usually gynae will tell u ware's heart then let u hear the heartbeat then the head & lims & etc. then when the scan is printed out I will yan jiu myself lor.

Barbara,
I'll be 39 when this baby is born. Close factory? Well, we probably won't be actively trying, but the rest is God's will lah.
Charis,
I'm planning to homeschool my children. I've already started with my daughter. She's 2. Planning to homeschool through Pri school. See how it goes.

I will cme in later.
I read from this forum somewhere, can't remember which thread. One of the gals said before she goes for scan, the night before she will ask baby to wave to daddy & mummy. So I just followed and asked my baby to wave for me to see and it works!! the book that I am reading also say that fetal movement starts around this time though we probably can't feel it until later.

i am eating apple pie instead with hot milo. felt hungry since after lunch. actually the pregnancy has turned me into a greedy pig. my hb said he has never seen me so hungry before and we have known each other since 17 yrs old. My hb's parents and grandma were initially worried that I will not eat as I am afraid to put on weight, now they never say already cos I am always saying that I am hungry.

I was just looking thru' my clothing just now and like counting how many pieces and then wonder when should i start washing and wearing them.
I remember i start to wear maternity when I was 4 mths pregnant during my 1st pregnancy.

hi gals...i'm new to the forum n the whole motherhood thingy too. i'm exactly 10 weeks tomorrow (well, it's now actually since it's alrdy wed).
It's my first child, and i'm alittle paranoid, always checking for blood stains and all...i have cramps that feel like twitching pain that pulls at your tummy area now and then...do u think it's normal?
I read so much about the high risk of miscarriage during 1st trimester, it really freaks me out sometimes..
look forward to getting to know all of you...
