Hi J&R, my mum only told the 'shifu' my DOB & he predicted that most likely my bb is a boy, which comes true based on the prelimary scan. And I think DOB quite general leh, me borned in 1978 but before Chinese New Yr, so not Horse like my peers but Snake lor. Dun worry lah, shld be okie one, esp when u intend to get a 'master' to name the child. The master will do so in a way that's gd for the child & the parents. U intend to do so?
Hi Blueroti, agreed that the gender doesn't matter as long as the child is healthy but me & my colleagues all seem to feel that the world has changed. Every1 in the past like my Ah Ma's generation wanted boys to carry on the family line but now, seems that if we don't give birth to a girl girl, then cannot stop production liao........
at least, that's what my husband told me jokingly.
Btw, I have not put on any weight, still experiencing MS. So worried whether my bb has enough nutrients or not. My bb is 10cm at 16 weeks. Gynae said normal, so relieved to hear that.

hi fen, happyjean, J&R

hi snowflakes

Hi Traz
Cheer up. I think gender doesnt matter. Most impt is bb must be healthy. I'm also having a girl again and I'm not disappointed. Guess after going through oscar n amnio tests.. gender doesnt matter at all. All i wish for is a healthy bb. Don't feel depressed..it will affect your bb and make bb feel v unwanted. Be happy that you have a healthy bb, all bbs are bundles of joy!

I hv booked my CL already. I heard must give 2 ang paos also. One when she comes and one when she is leaving. But my friend gave her one only..when she is leaving. I thk it is up to the individual? I thk maybe i will give her a small ang pao when she comes.. and if she is gd..will give her a bigger ang pao when she leaves lor.
Peggy
I went to the childbirth education class at MT A when i had my 1st bb. I found it useful! It teaches you how to take care of yourself and how to prepare yourself from now until delivery. It also teaches you how to take care of bb. I feel 1st time parents should try to attend the classes. I think is is $126 for 6 sessions. If u are going for wkend classes i thk must book earlier and it is a bit more expensive than wkday classes. U can go to the Mt A website to read up on it. There is a hotline for u to call to enquire and book for the classes.

hi twinkle and blueroti,
both my mum and MIL said barley and chrysanthemum are ok for pregnant ladies.
my MIL said barley is more 'hua' aka smooth and helps in delivery or BB's skin..
and my mum said chrysanthemum/barley is ok cos it's not too heaty and not too cooling.
i've been drinking alternate days cos i take chicken essence alternate day too. afraid the chicken essence to heaty for me.

Angelo,
These capsuples are dietary supplement for pregnant and breast-feeding women. The one I'm taking each capsule of fish oil contains:-
250mg of DHA
20mg og EPA
18mg of AA
30mg of OA
3mg natural tocopherol
Vitamin E
Dunno how good it can be but so long gynae said the supplement gd for brain development, I will take lor. Try taking some for the benefits of the bb but S$1 per capsule sound very xpensive hor. Think the one I taking not that x.
Ixora15,
My favourite now is McDonald french fries. Are u?
Twinkle,
I did visited a chines physician before I conceive. She told me not to take Barley...maybe bcos of my health not suitable or wat. She afraid I might not know I'm pregnant at the intial stage and lost the bb after drink barley. So till now, I still dare not take for my case.

Hi Peggy17,
The contains of your fish oil capsule quite similar but Neurogain's OA is higher. It's 70gm. I took since my first pregnancy. Doctor also did't prescribe for me, only when I asked. Anyway, I compared fish oil with other brand in pharmacy before. The lady still recommned me Neurogain plus. Maybe you can join BP? I just bought 5 bottles from recent BP. Each bottle $22 only compared $30 from clinic. I heard got other clinic selling $34!!!
re: barley
I was told not to drink barley. It'll caused early contraction. Dun know how to true was it lah coz I avoid this drink for my both pregnancy.

Hi Peggy17,

You buying the BP for the NeuroGain PB fish oil. I will also join in cos it's 10 bucks cheaper if they are the same 30 capsules. My gynae selling 32 bucks. Take 1 capsule per day in the morning.

Better cfm now. B4 i found my CL, i called 3-4 CLs, all fully booked. So i think u should book now, else at last minute it is very difficult to find a CL cos many mommies are booking CLs when they are 3-4mths preg. That is why to play safe, I think u should book your CL now.
Peggy
It's ok, I will continue buying from the clinic.

I also have a craving for potatoes. Couldn't resist the fried ones but realised it may not be healthy for me/my waistline caused of trans fats so in the end switch to baked potatoes with tuna and bacon bits toppings. Really yummy!
