Jenny & Schnauzie- I also like leaky egg yolk but not the fried version. I like half boiled eggs or those they just crack a raw egg into mini steamboat. But now have to totally avoid coz uncooked egg yolk contain lots of bateria.
Now I have alot of curving for sour stuff like vingar, lime, green apple, lemon etc...

Hi Jgal, i went to take a look at the fish oil that you are taking (neurogain). One of the ingredients is AA (something acid). Seem to remember reading somewhere that this is not good for pregnant women? U know anything abt this?
Heehee, sorry, me dunno how to play MJ, never play before in my life
I also saw the obimin that some ladies are taking, it contains vit A, which I thot we suppose to avoid? Confused.....
BTW, saw that some of you are given 'an tai yao' when you see your gynae. My gynae did not give me when i went to see him for the 1st time. Must everyone take this 'an tai yao'?

Spuntik, If i'm not wrong, have to avoif vitA in first trimester. So try to avoid LIVERS.
Now i'm very conscious about what i eat and drink.
No cold drinks, no tea, no coffee. Only soyabean milk, and plain water and occassionally fruit juices.
My mum say cant take too much orange and orange juice. Though no harm to ur body, next time bb will have alot of phelgm and will have cough v frequently. Well, i guess betta choose to believe for the good for our bb?
Even buy fruit juice, my hubby also stand there and see what the uncle put, scared later he put wrongly put pineapples. As per dr adrian, pineapples are the big no-no. Will cause the womb to contract and then miscarriage.
I was reading the latest (Sep07) about bonding with your bb with he/she is in your tummy. And there's this part abt 4D scans. Anyone going to do 4D scans?

schnauzie, i think different gynae will prescribe different supplements. Im given folic and prenavite which is a multi vitamin and just as many other supplements for pregnancy, it contains quite substantial amount of iron which in turns cause constipation. To fight constipation, perhaps have to take more fibre frm fruits and vegetable. If not it may get pretty bad in the later stage. There's more information frm Motherhood Mag(Aug07).
So far i'm ok. An tai medicine is mainly for ppl with unstable first trimesters, like spotting or MS.
MS occurs when the body recognises the foetus as a foreign object in the body and is thus repelling it.
I read in the mag, it's $150/hr and they will give u a DVD of ur scan. so u could see ur baby moving, sucking thumb, v v clearly, can see the baby's face and everything. If u do a search on the internet, the main purpose of this 4D scan is to detect any birth defects which may not be detected through blood test. So eg, a mom who is test for high risk for down symdrone may want to do the test so see if the baby is normal. But i think it is increasingly gaining popularity with many others. I think i'll go for it. Though it may seem a little costly.

cutiebb, i'm not sure also. So far gynae says ok to take cold drinks, but in moderation. I read on the internet that for those mummies having MS, good to take cold drinks in between meals but not during meals. did not state any reason.
My grandma and my mum also say no cold drinks. So i just listen lo. My cousins took alot of cold drinks during pregnancy, all the kids turn out to have asthma and premature, until now when they grow up also v unhealthy and skinny.
Oh btw, ladies, i read somewhere that the environment that mummies live in esp in the 2nd and 3rd trimester can affect the bb, if there's alot of allergens, bb may develop asthma.

Schnauzie: me din know tat cannot take those half cooked egg .. so last week i also got eat .. hahaha
Jgal: me be seeing my gynae in every 3 weeks also i presume .. cos my next appt is in 3 weeks time...
Sputnik: the an tai yao which i checked with my gynae is to strengthen the womb / uterus in early stage .. and also for those who have spotting etc ...

Sputnik: some one mention that AA will cause high blood pressue.. I did abit of search on the internet. Good amt of fish oil actually stablise blood pressure. There are ppl that report that high pressure deal to fish oil and it deal to 8x the normal amt. I guess.. if fish oil has am effect on blood pressure... too much of it definitely will cause problems also. Actually DHA and AA are the 2 component that make fish oil beneficial for brain development.
cutiebb.. i think probably because you are not spotting.. Just the cryst problem, which does not hinder bb growth and can only be deal with after the first tri so the doc also dun see you so often lor.
hee hee .. your cryst is not as serious as you think lah. I think mummie with spotting.. see gynea more often lor.
Cold drink is no no .. too much fruit juice also no good.. then what can we drink?!?! plain water and milo !!?!? ... freaking stressful to watch diet everyday.

Haha. Cannot drink too sweet also. Pregnant ladies are more prone to diabetics even though we may not have it when we are not pregnant. Some preggy ladies will have calcium deficiency, some this, some that. So i guess it's impt to have a healthy diet during this period.
Just have to "ren" for another 7 mths.
I know it's tough. I've been complaining to my hubby everyday. Just have to control lo. I'm a green tea lover. Now also cannot take green tea. Now i only take plain water and hot soya milk. Dont know why, but cant stand the smell of milo anymore.

Okay .. gals.. dun get paranoid 
... there are things, we shld not drink at all.. that there are those.. that shld be taken in moderation depends on our health
If you had previous done some health check (last 1/2 yr).. you shld refer back to it.. and see if you will be expose yourself to high risk.. e.g. you know you have tendency to get diabietes because of age/health condition/family history .. then you shld take that into consideration when you drink or eat lor .. even carbo (complex sugar) is bad for diabietes meh.. not just pure sugar..
If you have UTI / yeast infection, which the dairy pdt that you are taking lor.
Abit high blood tendency , then watch your seafood lor. me in the "low blood" cat... so no issue..hiak hiak

Jgal,
My place is in central but now in staying in kl. Gynae is Dr A L Lim, Thomson medical.
Do u gers feel tired of eating. Think i have been eating almost every hour for the past few week and this few days, i kinda tired of eating. Think i home sick, i miss spore food, there are so many variety. KL food so far only ok, maybe i am tired of eating. I also miss spore shopping. It's more happening and i so wish i can shop in the places u all have been talking and going soon. Must ask hubby to stop over spore for a few more days when i visit my gynae in 2 weeks' time.

cutiebb..if you want to test yourself.. can buy the test strip from pharmacy. the strip will turn color after contact.. then you compare with the guide if your sugar level is too high lor
Jenny.. your gynea KS.. you sound healthy to me.. ha ha ha no leh.. i habe not take any test until now.. except V-scan.

Jennyhoo, but hor, milk also stored in fridge also cold ma. Is it ok? I find it very difficult to eat and drink. Everytime before eating or drinking something have to think so hard. I'm thinking of buying ANNUM MATERNAL. Anyone tried? I read in the ad, sounds so "wow", but i dont know whether will lead to vitamin "overload" so wait till monday then ask Dr Adrian.
BLACK PEPPER CRAB!!! makes me want to drool now le! So far my mum say that chilli and pepper crab not so cooling as compared to steam crab but i still prefer steam crab ma le.
Jenny, i think high sugar level got nothing to do wtih age or weight le. My friend just gave birth abt a mth ago at the age of 25, also developed diabetics during pregnancy, family got no history of diabetics. I think it just happened kind of thing.

Actually diabetics is not only caused by sweet stuff, its also due to too much fats intake. Unburnt fats are converted to sugar in our body which may lead to disbeties. Preg mummy can't exercise tts y fat level accumulates very fast...hmmm is abt fd selection again
Does any mummy miss sports or gym?
I start to miss my gym more now.....
