hey afcai,
same here, I also took chinese medicine while trying to conceive cos my healthy is usually weak. been taking for half a year. I also find it weird why 2nd preggie got more complications. I recall my first preggie was rather smooth and I really enjoy it. But this time dun really feel so happy, my hb also realise I am more negative this time.
I also feel the sensation! But I just assume it's gases, haha...
So you hoping for a boy
Your First child is a girl? How old is she already? My son is going to 16 months.
Oh, I am taking Anmum milk powder for pregnant women, chocolate flavour. Not bad.

I am drinking anmum chocolate and vanilla. having one can in office n one at home..
Seabreeze
I take wu hua guo, just a bit to curve the ms. I bought sour plum too but din really take them.
Dont take too much orange at one go, i think it is still ok if you take one orange an hour before or after meal. We dont absorb all the vit even if we take 3 oranges in one go. so small but a few i find it is ok.

Hi pinksorbet,
have bedrest and relax.
When I first realised I'm pregnant, I took 'an tai yao' cos have been seeing a chinese doctor while trying to conceive. But when I see my gynae cos of my bleeding, he wants me to stop taking the an tai yao. He says the herbs may contains some unknown substances that is harmful to the baby. So I threw away the herbs.
I didn't take any 'an tai yao' for my first child and everything is fine! So better dun take any, or consult your gynae.

oic. for me, I took only 3 week of chinese medicine during april time to readjust my haywire menses bck. chinese medicine also not cheap loh.
yeah, same. hubby see me like that, he said maybe stop at 2 liao. initially, he wanted 3 kids. hai.... yup, my first child is a gal and she is gg to be 21mth next week. oh, that mean u delivered last yr only??
<font color="#C8B560">Guest123/meow</font>
oh...anmum milk powder got choc favour huh...then gd....is it heaty?? scare cos constipation cos the obimin which I consume already heaty.
my sil asked me to go and buy the powder fm for preggie mum. she said gd. that's why her bb is so chubby after delivered.
re:vit c. even with excess vit c, the excess vit will pass out as urine. that's what I read before fr one of the website or magazine.
wow, 4D. errr..think I only heard 3D. what's the difference between 4D and 3D? yup, same my consultant at TMC is $70-$80 (differenct price when I went for visit) and scan is $70-$75. wow yr scan so ex. think duphaston standard pricing....for me, $42 for 28 tablets. wow, Joycelyn wong so popular??
<font color="#C8B560">pinksorbet</font>
oMG, is it non-stop drip type of drip. or just fresh blood spotting?
yup, but for chinese medicine dun take it together with western medicine. heard fr ppls that it is advise to take them 4hrs apart. like me, july, I took chinese an tai medicine and western medicine. so I woke up at 6am to drink milo and then consume my folic acid and duphaston. after that, I went back to slp then eat the chinese medicine abt 1030-11am. per day I needed to take 3 small packets of medicine. so that's will be after meal. will take another packet at ard 230-3pm. then makan again at 6pm. for duphaston, will consume at 1030pm. quite troublesome to take 2 type of medicine.
<font color="#C8B560">Wish for a boy</font>
I did ask the chinese physican fr Ma kuang is the chinese medicine she prescribe me safe or not. she told me it had been used for donkey thousand yr in china as an an tai medicine. so surely it is 100% safe. even i told NUH doc, they dun beliver all these an tai medicine and even told me no scienfic prove.
oh, did not know sour stuff can cuase more acid.

Hi mummies,
I would like to join this thread as my EDD is March 2009. This is my 2nd or rather 3rd pregnancy (I had a miscarriage before this)
I would like to ask mummies here anyone is currently taking TCM herbs during your pregnancy? I went to see Eu Yan Sang to "tiao" my health after my previous D&C and continue to see my chinese physician now that I have conceived. I feel very tired during this pregnancy as compared to my first and also always feel like short of breathe. My physician took my pulse and prescribed some chinese herbs for me but my hubby is worried and forbids me to take them. My friends advised that it should be ok since EYS is a reputable TCM and my physician knows about my history and my current pregnancy. My physician also told me is safe to take the herbs as they are also considered as "ang tai yao".
I am still in a dilemma whether to take the herbs or not. Any mummies have any experience that can share?
Thanks

excess vit will pass out thru urine so take several small quantity is good for absorbing. Milk powder esp chocolate is more heaty... have to drink more water and orange lor..no choice..
Actually i dunoe what is the diff btw 3D and 4D. The DVD, in the womb, there is a part which said this pic is using 4D .... blah blah...
Joycelyn is v popular. we went to tmc to check on most clinic and her clinic (with two other doc) was so crowded!

Re: folic acid, the nurse asked me to con't wat i left..so nw i take calcium, obimin + DHA and bal. folic acid. DHA pills ex or wat? $40 for 30 tablets..hmmm..my MIL runs a Chinese Medical Hall and i'm checking with her if she's able to find the DHA pills that my gynae prescribed for me. Yah, folic acid + multivitamins + calcium are cheap tablets. Thats why they are free of charge if you sign package with the doctors. ahaha..
Milk powder: i'm taking enfamama chocolate flavour. taste very much like CoffeeBean Hot Chocolate..hee heaty ba, so got to drink lots of water.
Pinksorbet, i'm taking the triple test in 3 weeks time..shall check with Dr Heng abt the cramp + medicated plaster for backache.

kome, i also dunno can take or not but my MIL insisted can coz alot of relatives's daughter in law also took "pao sheng" during pregnancy even cordyceps..but i'm only ok with the ginseng. Btw, Pao sheng & "ren sheng" are 2 diff. types of ginseng...anyway i din take alot lah..so far once twice haha..sometimes dunnoe shld listen to old pple's advice..?? haha coz they used to give birth to so many and all grown up to be strong & healthy.
Kome, yah lor..sometimes once in while make old pple happy, watever they cook, we just eat abit lor. haha..so nt everyday / over consume , i guess shld be ok ba. i believe if you go chinese sin seh, they will advise ginseng are beneficial..but "english" doctor who doesn't have the chinese medicines background will tell us to refrain just incase. this is what i feel ba..just like whether ornt "an tai yao" can be taken...
SG
My gynae oso told me no ginseng leh..

Mummy
Gender will be more accurate after 4 or 5 mths later. In 3rd mth, not able to see clearly also.

I saw my mum today bought a packet of sweet & sour sauce for making sweet & sour pork. I read that this is an easier substitute for making the sauce. So need to fry the meat then heat up the sauce mixed with water and pour over the meat! Gd for mummies who are too tired to do it from scratch.

Your hubby so nice brew for you...where can i find BP? Cheap? reliable? I am anxious to know my bb gender too.. but only 10 weeks now..
Kome
ya heard birdnest is good. but it is expensive. i will start taking probably weekly from 3rd trim if we can afford... But one of the msg fr a mummy is that nowadays the quality of the birdnest is not as good. meaning we paid more for a less quality birdnest.
