GREEN TEA: can anyone remember why green tea is not so good for us? couldn't resist a can of pokka after lunch...

Green tea - At first I thought it might be because there's too much caffiene in it. Then did a search and found otherwise! http://www.japanesegreenteaonline.com/faq3.htm

oh okie... here, I found this article about green tea and preggie women: http://www.buzzle.com/editorials/1-24-2006-87222.asp (it prevents absorption of our folic acid..that's why)
do we waddle?? yikes! never noticed that!

ya i think your babies are bigger than mine too! at my last check (26 weeks) poppy was about 700g+! wow you must really be feeling the weight now. do take care ok? like what youpi says, try to rest as much as you can!
community message - water retention?
======
apart from raising your feet at night when you sleep, when you are at your desk, try to exercise your ankles too - point your toes down, and up, down and up, many times a day. and try to do 'twinkle twinkle little star' with your fingers (open and close, open and close) to prevent blood and water from pooling there, causing swollenness.

my bro-in-law, said that they used johnsons & johnsons products on their now 7mth-old baby boy, and noticed that his skin got drier and drier. then only improved when they switched to an organic brand.
mummies are you using j & j? coz that's what i thought i would be using, but i'm thinking now maybe i should think about alternatives.

hmmm interesting. i bought johnsons top to toe wash and pink lotion liao :S mummies, any comments?
groin cramps
=======
anyone getting a crampy feel in their groin area? not really cramp but just a bit suan suan, almost like period kind? i just started getting a bit today :S
calcium and nutrition
======
got this from one of those pregnancy websites:
in your 3rd trimester, Every day, about 200 milligrams of calcium is deposited in your baby's skeleton, which is now hardening. With this rapid growth, it's no surprise that your baby's nutritional needs reach their peak during this trimester.

dustee - it really depends on bb skin.. my boi also cannot use j&j proiducts..he cldn't even use those milder type like lactycyd which is suposed to be for sensitive skin which he has.. tried n tested many many brands n finally fd his skin reacted well to GAIA n CB.. so using these 2 brands..

my 11mth old niece is fine with J&J too, but I heard the clear kinds are easier to wash off than the milky kinds... I bought a giant bottle of sebamed during the robinson's sale...
kicking vs bubbles: sometimes I feel kicking movements in my tummy band sometimes I feel bubbles very very low...wonder what the little one is doing...

i don't get chest pains but i have difficulty breathing sometimes. find that lying on my side and on higher pillow helps. you try?
oh maybe when i take too heavy meals also i will get it. try not to eat too much just before sleeping.
soaps and shampoos
======
i hope poppy likes J&J! bought the top to toe wash. easier la, no need to get shampoo first la i think. anyway they don't have much hair yet... hehe

think me and my sis born a month earlier. your bb are good weight actually. not small considering u r having twins. my fren at 29 weeks bb is 1.2kg. so yours is really good weight.
must be really heavy for u.
caitlyn
wow your hb so nice to give his 'nod of approval' for buying toys. i planning to buy behind my hb's back..haha
my boy smaller than you gal. at abt 25 weeks, only abt 500g. but think cos i very small size also.
pinkbunny
if u feel crampy, maybe it's the braxton hicks contractions. these are false contractions. if too often, better let your gynae know.
re soap
i wd highly recomend latacyd for the initial months. no need to rinse off.
i started off using that for my boy then later switch to another organic brand. all ok. then later got one time my boy got bad outbreak of rashes triggered by mosquito bites. the PD said that latacyd is very good. she also recommended me to use soap for my boy and since then i have been using pear soap. cheap and good.
for #2, i will start with latacyd then switch to pear soap when she is older.
sebamed and cetaphil are also good for sensitive skin esp cetaphil.
shd get those that no need to rinse in the initial months.
fiona
