asura,
my iron tab is call Ironyl (Complete haematinic). Transparant caps with tiny colorful beads inside...look like toy..haha...Same as yours?
How come so expensive huh? Mmm...gynae only told me cos low HB level is bad as baby wun get enuff red blood cells so must quickly build up...

ivy,
Urs is different from mine. Mine is the cheaper one i think. My gynae says it is sufficient. Maybe urs got transparent capsule. Mine is a tablet. Gynae never say bb wouldnt get enough red blood cells... just told me that bb is a efficient parasite, would take all from me... so end up i would be terribly low in blood count. My doc friend said the same thing... said the worry is me during delivery... bb would be fine.

asura,
then i have to ask my doc fren to see if can get dhaxtra too...
wish a boy,
your fren can get this as well? If can get it cheaper then its better cos this one have higher concentration of DHA as compare of PB or "S".
Asura,
dunno leh...prob my gynae also worried abt my nutition and possiblity of low weight baby.. I also did not ask him if this iron tab are the normal type or special type. He just say better build up asap.
Based on my built, my baby shld be 3.5kg plus. But my 1st born only touch 3kg and during preg, he was growing very slowly.
I even went for test on my placenta to see the rate of transfer or something of nutrients (basically to check if the placenta is efficient/working).
Then at due date, doc asked me to go induce cos baby not gaining weight for the past few weeks hence better to come out...

My iron is capsule and it's black in colour aiyo cannot remember the name .
Yes Asura is right , my gynea also told me bb don't care whether mummy got enough blood or calcium , they will sucks all our blood and nutrients so that's why I need to stock up otherwise it's me who will suffered not bb .
Kome : My first 2 preg I also stroke my tummy every day without fail and first preg as breech c-sect at 38 weeks and 2nd preg natural at 40+ weeks so don't think stroking cause early delivery lah ...

Think I'll ask her why when I attend her parentcraft classes in Nov'08. In the meantime, i think i'll hold my palm over my tummy instead.

i'm still taking folic acid. Gynae ask me to continue, he say it's good for BB. So I still continue to take my folic acid now.

Hee, ks me called up clinic to ask again:
rationale is when bb suck you dry of the nutrients then they dun have also loh..hence might result in pre-m delivery or low weight born. Hence mummy have to build up as much as possible..
Ha, forget to ask if the iron tab got diff from outside sell one...next visit then ask bah.

don't take at close to end of 3rd trimester as too heaty by then as by then need to take coconut drink to cool down body and wait for delivery , think take some in 2rd trimester but don't overtake hor .. wait bb too big as read from newspaper previously got pp take durian and milk intake like nobody business bb came out at 5kg+++ how to deliver like that ..
Miss83,
Bird nests: abt 1x a week, self brewed kind. But this time not so luckily liao cos my mum is not well…Stock up on the EYS’s bottled concentrated kind…1tablespoon per day and nite. Last abt 2 weeks for $70 plus per bottle.
Coconut: 1x every two days from week 37.
Soya bean: Dun like the taste and this preg, will puke badly when take that…so din take much…
Wishaboy,
I eat lot of cheese also…But did not take durian at all…hate the texture…So the cheese din help or prob my body did not pass on the nutrients.
My son very cute, he will cover his mouth and ran far far when his dad eat durian..

Ivy : At times is bb did not absorb . My 1st preg , eat like nobody business and tummy super big and I gained a lot of wt but gal only 3.1kg . 2nd preg due to MS so only gain 10kg but bb turn out to be 3.5kg . hahaha .. so just tell bb u must be good , absorb some and gain wt above 3kg will be good ..
ivy,
I think difficult for body to be with no iron leh... For other nutrients, it is possible for bb to not get. There are also other factors, where the bb is unable to absorb from the mom,usually it is the transfer of nutrients through the placenta.
Anyway, u might want to check with ur gynae if it is necessary to take the expensive form of iron. My doc friend and gynae say that the form i am taking is good enough. Most cost-effective. Are u also taking folic acid? Folic acid helps in the absorption of iron. If never take folic acid, take iron supplement also no use.

Asura : me never ask how much each , just get from gynea the iron pills . Yes I did continue folic acid as gynea instructed .
Ivy : Try to rest as much as u can . I understand , my dd3 age 3 also stick to me like super glue and don't understand at times I need rest as too tired .. only the elder one understand and will not pester me like the dd2 ..

Re: fish oil
Wah seem like alot of u taking Neurogain & Dhaxtra.
My gynae prescribe " Prolacta with DHA for Mother ". Each tablet has DHA 214mg, EPA 20mg & Vitamin E 10mg. This is produced by "Novell Pharmaceutical Laboratries". 60 capsules for $62. Much more expensive than the GNC one.
During my 1st pregnancy, gynae prescribe NeurogainPB in blue bottle but this time, he recommended this ProLacta.
I have search the internet, Novell is a Indonesia Based company. There is not much discussion about "Prolacta DHA " from google search. I wonder if it is a new product ??
Any mummies taking this too?

Wish a boy,
Think cos i buy my own iron supplements. Cost 5 times lesser than from gynae... so i know the dosage. And gynae also increase the dosage for me cos my count is too low. I find my stools smelling of iron these days so i am worried that i am passing out all the iron. Wanted to get gynae to test my blood next visit to determine if iron is useful for me. But my doc friend told me that it takes some time for iron to be absorbed. so i guess i would continue with 200mg 2x a day until they wanna test my blood again. Cant imagine the day i got to take 3x a day... that's the maximum safe dose liao..
