Still raining cats and dogs. Went to Century Square for teppanyaki. Yummy, finally overcome the smell of garlic. Thanks for posting the link on capella strollers.
Regarding soft boiled eggs and sashimi, I cannot resist. I started taking once past the first trimester but not very often maybe once or twice a month. For soft boiled eggs, I ask them to make it more cooked. For sashimi, I only eat from reputable Jap restaurants like Sakae.

Dont like birds nest leh...find the Brands ones too sweet. Also not taking any other "bu ping".
Anyway, my gynae told me to take lots of protein and less sugar. My colleagues also told me protein is good becos it goes straight to the baby. As long as on balanced diet, dont think it is necessary to take other "bu ping" lah.

re: raw food
I control myself for 1/2 boil eggs.. but since the japanese preggy mummies also eat sashimi here.. I also eat.. but i try not to eat those fish like tuna and swordfish that comes with high mercury content.
hammies03,
I eat birdnest once every 2 weeks. I have those raw one, which I soak over night and pluck those feathers... nearly wanna faint when I encounter those very dirty ones.. it takes like 2-3 hrs to clean it.. so it would be easier to buy those cleaner ones.

Haha, I took quite a bit of bird nest during 1st 3 months but nowadays, no more bird nest cos my mum not feeling well. 
Instead I take chicken soup with dong cong cao and red dates at my mum-in-law place once a week.
Congrats! Misty.

oh ya. manage to get someone to translate what my midwife gave me in Japan. Hope this helps for the mummies here:
Preparation for breastfeeding
1. When you are in about 16th-week pregnancy onwards, clean your nipples. If you see the white dried substance around your nipples, wipe it out with olive oil rather than using too much soap.
Do not press your nipples too much with your bra.
Try not to take food additives or too much fat.

Birds' Nest
INGREDIENTS:
2 ounces birds nest
7 to 8 tablespoons crushed rock sugar, or to taste
4 cups water
PREPARATION:
Prepare the bird's nest: soak it in cold water for several hours or overnight. Rinse well. Go over the nests and pick out any loose feathers.
Boil the bird's nests twice: Bring a pot of water to boil and simmer the bird's nests for about 5 minutes.
Again, rinse well and squeeze dry.
Place the bird's nests in the pot and add the water. Bring to a boil and simmer until the bird's nests are quite soft (up to 2 hours). Add the rock sugar, stirring to dissolve. Serve the soup hot.

eRnMum,
soak overnight, then get those pluck (something like for eyebrow plucking) then slowly tear the birdnest into strips.. every strips u see if there is any feathers, some like eyeslashes.. depending on the type u buy.. some not much.. some are horrible.
Better to soak in a white bowl.. so that U can see the fine feathers clearly.. then u can prepare another white bowl, so that when you tear a strip, u transfer to another bowl to pluck the feathers.. cleaner this way.
Then u can add paosheng and red dates and yellow rock sugar and water for taste. Boil for like 1.5-2 hrs, Xue Yan will require 30 mins more.
double boil means have those claypot then put inside another pot.. add water on outside the claypot.. then boil.

After shower, i noticed got tiny red dots ard breast area & the more i rub/massage/scratch, the more itchy it gets. So i just put some moisturizer & baby powder & go bra less at home, it feels better. I will monitor few days & see how...not sure if it's due to the Palmers Cocoa cos i did apply to the area.</font>

eRnMum: try to buy those bird nest that requires less picking of feathers. soak it for 1 hour. double boil means putting the bird nest in a small porcelein pot and boiling the pot in a bigger pot. so that the water in the small pot will not dry up. double boil for about 1.5hrs.
wow, thanks for all your advice. hopefully can trying boiling one of these days.
or is there any restaurant that sell? haha
i have those dried one at home...given together with a hamper when i gave birth to number one...but of cos i dun expect them to be of good quality....mayb can use it as testing...haha

Steph,
oh.. i try both white and blood birdnest.. Now i know why I became breathless after having the blood birdnest.. i thought I din remove the feathers clean enough.. so it can cause asthma.
Fern,
I tried Mustela Specific Support Bust Cream, I think not bad, not very oily.
Birdnest, the Fu Hua medical hall people says every 2 weeks. Cold one taste better, but i dunno if it cause me to become breathless.
