Rain,
Dr John Tee.. Hmn.. In fact he is called Prof John Tee now. My friend who saw him for her two pregnancies told me that he's director liao. I think so, because he's professor already.
Wow.. Clinic B is as costly as TPS huh. Why not you see him at TPS? Shorter queue.
Labbit,
I thought placenta is formed at very early stage, just that we couldn't see it as it's too tiny. If placenta is formed only towards end of first trimester, where does baby get the nutrients from mummy before that?
Re bird nest,
Yeah, we should eat everything in moderation, no matter how good the food is. I took dong cong cao with bird nest or chicken essence every alternate week from 5/6th month onwards.
Was told that one mummy heard durian is good for baby, she ate a lot during her last trimester, in the end baby came out reaching 5kg!!!! Amazing!
Re ginseng ,
It's true that not all ginseng are cooling. Can't remember 'pao shen' or 'ren shen' or whatever 'shen' is cooling. To play safe, I avoid the 'shen' family totally.
Jang,
Washable pads - you need at least a dozen to standby, just in case your 'supply' is overflow.
