hi everafter, how are you today?
jane lin, watermelon is cooling, so dun eat too much. but of course some docs will tell u can eat, just moderation lah. the key word is moderation... but i ks, still dun eat hahahaa.
porky....very sorry to hear that......do take care of ur health. after that, ask ur mum to cook you some confinement food. try to eat more heaty stuff or confinement food/drinks/tonic soups to "bu" nourish back ur body the mth after the procedure.....it will help get ur health back...
<font color="0000ff">Bras</font>. there's no point buying too many new bras now, coz our sizes will increase until we deliver. the best time to buy nursing bras is after 32 or 36 weeks. thats still some time away. right now, extensions are good. u can buy from any bra shop or even bra dept... just ask for bra extensions.
<font color="ff0000">stretch marks</font>. my prev pregnancy, i didn't use stretch marks cream at all, until last trimester when i halfheartedly use coz my tummy damn itchy. and i use only when i remember. and i didn't have stretch marks at all. i think its true that either u have it or u dun. my other friend same time preggie as me, diligently used stretch marks in 2nd and 3rd trimester. but she complained that her stretch marks were very obvious after giving birth.
jess, thanks for informing about the wrist band....but somehow i dun feel comfy about it. coz I read before that the thing thats' making us nauseous is the HCG levels in our blood, which raises very fast during the first 12 weeks, then stabalise when we enter 2nd tri. the higher the HCG, the safer for baby it is. in a way, can say baby is more protected coz of the hcg hormone levels. it also means the higher the hCG, the more nauseous some of us may get. so when i felt nauseous, i console myself by saying it means my hcg is high and it is protecting my baby. so if a wrist band uses accupuncture somehow to curb the nauseous, i will worry if its somehoe manipulating my hcg levels? i may be wrong, hope u not offended. just sharing my tots...
but if it works for you, then it must be alright for you.
