my friend just delivered to a baby boy yesterday night (EDD 9/9). tough she had narrow pelvic bone and doc advised her that chances of her going for natural delivery is slim. However, she did a good job. she delivered her son (weight 3.1kg) via natural with epidural. so glad for her. hope she will enjoy her motherhood.

hmm..acc to medicial hall ppls, he advise that taking the birdnest in the morning fr 6am - 11am is the best timing cos body absorb nutrient well. that's why it is gd to have a good breakfast. as for night time, body started to rest liao esp during our sleep time, the body will stop absorbing anything, at night time and rest time, the body will get rid of waste. that's why some ppls will poo in the morning. thta's the explanation i got from Zheng Zong ppls. we always patronize the same stall thru the yrs.
that's why, I cooked the bird nest at night then leave it overnight and woke up at 6am to consume.

I also seldom eat meat one but no choice. I force my self to eat with veg. will eat the veg with every meat I eat cos I knew it is gd for bb. yeah, I did follow strict diet, dun anyhow eat this and that esp sweet and fried food.
so u ok now, ask yr gynae to give u iron tablet or eat more veg (spinish) which is gd to increase blood pressure.
try these iron rich food are: duck(without skin), beef(lean cuts), liver(but dun consume too much cos bb cannot take too much vit A as it can damage the system), sardines, potatoes, pumpkin, spinach, spirulina(seaweed), cooked legumes(green peas, kidney, beans), soybean/soy products such as tofu, carob powder, blackstrap molasses, dried fruits.

for me, I consume iron tablet after delivery cos very low blood pressure even need to bedrest 2 days (felt gizzy) and blood transfusion loh.
I also can't take beef. but duck meat will be gd for iron too.
re:brownish spotting. ever since I bleed on 23/8-24/8,till now, my spotting color varies from very dark maroon -> brownish color. but hor, dunno why, sometimes it will pass out discharge tissue like during urine or wash up. a bit scary. my last bleeding I can see a thick fat and long dark maroon tissue coming out. then I just dun dare to pull out and ask the gynae what 's that before dare to procceed. gynae told me dun worry not placenta only blood cot.

for me, I consume cordyceps with small lean meat alternate weeks and home-cooked birdnest also on alternate week. so meaning per mth, consume cordyceps twice and birdnest twice. for ginsheng (did not buy, got free when buy the 3 in 1 package, now zheng zong medicial hall selling cordyceps, birdnest and box of ginsheng for $308 if u are the member), I asked the ppl to ground into powder form and placed into tight container. then place it in the fridge and consume daily during confinement.
for my friend, her mil gd wor, cooked birdnest almost daily until my frenz drank until want to vomit and ask her hubby to drink for her. she will consume a bowl daily wafter dinner at her mil'plc. but her kid is very fair and skin very smooth. really true fact but no phlegm.
wow, yr bb cute also, give u see the back.
for me, I will start essence of chicken with cordyceps when 2nd trimster came only. but not consume daily. only twice or thrice per wk.

yeah, still early to drink herbs now. acc to ppl fr medicial hall, it will be gd to started after 6mth where bb will absorb. anyway, old folks mentioned dun consume herbs durign first trimster cos our bb just at the development stage cos the herb might be too strong and it might be damage their system.
