Hi mangogal, I drink. But all cooked by my mom...
Let me ask my mom and let you know. Actually, can drink the 6-taste soup (liu wei tang) with about $2 to $3 pork ribs. Very nice. The herbs she asked the chinese herbal shop owner to mix for her.

Hi mangogal, dong chong chao cordycep, is very expensive right. A little bit costs about $300+++. I was wondering to buy anot. But I heard good for baby's lungs and wont cough so easily. My gal is only 15 months old. Is it suitable for her to drink also?
How to cook it? Must cook for how long? My mom also not sure how to cook that...
Hi juxta, I think better dun take pao sheng now. I remembered that time the chinese herbal shop owner advised me to take after 5 months.
Hi Devilaz, my multi-vit is given by the gynae. The brand is SUNWARD PRENAVIT. Quite easy to swallow and not as big as GNCs. I also dun like GNC. Bought one bottle of the multi-vitamins for my No 1 during breastfeeding, in the end, I went back to buy from Dr Ang's Clinic. The GNC vit is now still in my fridge. Think have to throw it away liaoz.. Haha...

Devil think your mum can ask the herbal shop assistant or boss for advice on cooking using herbs. Sure they will help.
I took the GNC pre-natal and calcium tablets early this year. Still consuming them w/o asking for more vits from GP/gyne. I started taking folic acid since last year too. Had it all prepared. Machiam waiting to get preg only. Hehe.

Hi Devil, ya the price for dong cong cao has shoot up tremendously! i gave my boy from abt 2++ onwards cos he kept having this nasty cough with phlegm. Thought it helped alittle, but he still gets it. Used to give him weekly, but now very very "tang bhun", so only once or twice a month if he's well. I double boil with with pork, pao sheng, red dates and wolfberries for 2.5 to 3hrs. This is taught by the Eu Yan Sang's SA. Red dates and wolfberries are sweet and will mask the smell of the worm and pao sheng.
Ok, i'll check with the medical hall when i pop by next time, meantime will steer clear of this pao sheng, thanks!
Mangogal, u're good leh, can take chicken essence, i smell the chicken soup only i wanna run to the bin! my mom been plonking boxes and bugging me, told her dun waste money now, wait till the MS subsides, haha. Anyways you can check with the medical hall on what herbs that can be taken for pregnancy, they sure will plenty of ideas.

Thanks juxta. I'll have a try. Is Eu Yan Sang's dong cong cao better? Or any medical shop? I heard some are fake. Not sure how to see which are fake and which are not...
Hi Mummies, have your companies started the additional 4 days child care leave yet? My company seemed like not going to implement it. Can we complain to MOM since it is already started by the government and our company is refusing it. It is after all paid by the govenment, not by the company...

Hey Shers, i dont know if I got see you during the last checkup or not leh. I know it was the same date right. Btw, I am thinking of changing Gynae. Waiting time is really stressing me out leh. What time did you see him ah? I came in at 4pm and only went in to see him at 6pm!!! Can share details on cordblood. By when do we have to decide and sign up? When is your test, at NUH?
Mangogal: Than we also create topic to talk lah. Normaly I don't wear make-up. I am a plain Jane....hehehe so makeup and skincare is not my forte,cannot comment.
Think I also put on abt 1.5kg.
Karrie: do post here, I have been thinking of getting maternity pants. It sounds like a good deal.

Hey Devil, wah you so good got compile list one. Will take a look at it later at home. So organised!
So wat are you'll hoping for? Gal or Boy? I tried those gender predictor charts, but dunno how accurate it is. This is also stressing me out leh. Already got 2 rascals at home, so very stress on whether want to know or don't want on this baby gender. Every nite think abt this cannot sleep properly. Sigh!

i paid all when i signed up.. i can have up to 3 or 4 years free. paid a total of 3k plus till my little 1 turns 18 (but i paid till 16 or so) then little 1 will have a choice to continue to keep the cordblood ornot..
plus i signed up with my friend's referral got extra $100 or $200 free.. then on and off they have promotion got another $300 off..
this cordblood is quite popular in the recents years after the case of a SG little gal who had blood disorder.. the parents couldnt give their blood to her because dismatched. then they spent more than 20k just to find suitable blood for her in USA.
in SG, there are 2 private bank i.e. cordblood and stemcord. stemcord is from malaysia (i think) where cordblood is more to international and the way they stored our precious blood is better.. i went for a talk during the motherhood exhibition.. so very good la.. signed on the spot.
storing cordblood is more like insurance lor.. buy a 'in case'.. if paid yearly think its aboout 200 plus.. almost the same as insurance lor..
