hmmm.. think so too... my #1 gynae nv told me anything abt fish oil and i nv take fish oil thru'out whole pregnancy. only folic acid and multi-vit. bt turn out his speech, learning.. is better than my frens who take... mayb taking more fish during pregnancy helps as well?</font>.

when i was preggie with my no 1 just less than 2 yrs ago, there is no such thing as fish oil supplement lor..
its just the recent 2 yrs then got fish oil..
anyway gynae gives what, we take if we can..
like that dodo says, eat more fresh fish..
similar like calcium la.. dont just depend on the supplement.. drink more milk, eat more cheese and bread..

shers: im thinking of stopping my calcium supplements (cuz constipation!!) cuz i drink alot of fresh milk and take a lot cheese if required. But i dunno if the intake is enuf. ALso, for fish oil, i take the $60/30pcs Dhaxtra, and i only take it whenever I feel I dun take enuf fish or at least once ever 2 -3 days. DO u tihnk it;s ok?
jamie,
i think its better to continue to take calcium.. calcium is v impt le.. because bb will absorb alot of calcium from u, u will lose alot.. if u dont take in enough, teeth will break and bones structure will be affected as well..
calcium will lead to constipation?? i tot its iron supplement..
i take supplements 3 times per week because either forget or lazy.. hahaha.. but i tend to eat food to supplement.. eg, bread, cheese and milk daily.. fish soup, more more papaya to relieve.. my gynae says kiwi helps too..

shers: i heard that papaya nt gd to take in too much.. partly cuz of jaundice too.. I take lots of milk and cheese, sometimes 3 slices for breakfast with bread and milk somemore. Fish soup this wk i ate twice liao.
Yup, jacquise was telling me iron and calcium both will cause de.. my mom also agree..

jamie,
how abt asking yr gynae abt fish oil? i think its better not to buy off the shelf without gynae's precription. unless yr gynae asks u to buy outside. take what yr gynae prescribed is the safest.
no need to worry abt kid smart ornot.. it all depends on how carekeeper and parents teach

jamie,
cannot eat papaya, mango, durian towards end of pregnancy.. will cause jaundice..
CL told me eat more cooling stuff.. then bb will be cleaner when birth and no jaundice..
i stopped eating yellow fruits when i reach 35 weeks.. and started to drink coconut milk every alternate days when i reached 37 weeks..
my gal came out very clean.. fair, no jaundice, no dry scalps..
i dont know whether its the coconut drinks that helps or what.. but i will do the same for this..
anyway my gal is full term bb.. 40 weeks exactly.. so imagine how many coconut drinks i took..

wow.. got to take 2 pills?? mine is 1 and its killing me.. hahaha..
btw, some gynaes prescibed multi vitamin.. so no need to suffer so much.. just 1 pill solve all.. i asked my gynae for that, he says not good.. because some multi vitamin contain high vit A,D and E which are not good for pregnant women.. sometimes too much is not good also..

I had high blood pressure in first pregnancy. taking aspirin now for #2 as a precaution tho rite now my bld pressure is ok. since its only aspirin, I am guessing urs is still ok. coz if too high, they will ask u take high blood medicine for pregnancy. take care ur stress level. do take enuff proteins too. its ok as long baby growth is not affected and ur bld pressure is not too high.

Medela Pump >
Yeah...which one is more suitable for home use? Still puzzle over which brand/model to purchase.
Fish Oil >
Porky, Dr Adrian also did not mention anything abt the fish oil when I visited him couple times ago. It's only when I popped the question then he said "Oh fish oil, yeah we do sell here. $30/box for 30days consumption. You can purchase over the counter."..but he gave me this feeling that I dun need it eh.
Last time he told me, Singaporean mummies are overly nourished and dun need to drink milk. Milk can let u put on alot of weight. I am weight conscious cos already over weight plus lactose intolerant so I asked him on giving milk a miss.

Hi ladies,
Was extremely busy at work.. rather till year end. Anyway, regarding Oils:-
- Clarin Oil
I am also using Clarin Hulie Oil and in my 1st bottle. My previous pregnancy I have used 3 & a half bottles. My SIL helped my to get from DFS when she travels.
- Fish Oil
I did enquire my gynae on fish oil which he thinks is not necessary. Currently, I am on 3 pills, multi-vit, calcium and iron due to low blood. My gynae is selling the Dhaxtra Softgel @ $56, 30 capsules.

Fish oil
My gynae said studies showed neurological benefits in studies after 3rd trimester. But i was like... isnt there so many factors in contributing to intelligence eg: genetics, social environment... blah blah. Best, is she said 3rd trimester, she said giving me frm 16th wk! She is selling the Dhaxtra also. $60! So i asked her yester, y so ex? $2 per tab leh. Then she said cos the level of fish oil is v high and v purified for pregnant women... So i cheapskate, eat one in 2-3 days. Anyway 3rd tri then show benefits wat. Im in the healthcare line, so i know Drs need to make $$$ also la. I'll source for similar fish oil with similar content, hopefully cheaper.
High BP
Mikojade, Gotta be careful leh. High BP is nothing... just afraid that it can lead to complications. anyway y not get a BP monitor device and monitor urself. Can read this article for more info, online medical journal. Reliable! http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/public/heart/hbp/hbp_preg.htm

mine was 140-142 like dat. cant remember the other measurement. mine not gd case coz it affected baby growth and later got protein in urine the high bld got worse which is abt 160 so premature birth by c-section. that is not so common. most cases, it wont affect baby growth.
I tried to find out how drs would treat this. seem most will just give u the high bld medicine and not many will try preventive/helpful measures like aspirin. my private dr, Dr Paul Tseng (TMC) is giving me aspirin too. pls do monitor it if it affect baby growth or not.
reading on high bld : possible fish oil, calcium supplements help, celery/green apple juices, cucumbers

Hi mummies
Yesterday went for the detailed scanning and got the result of amnio test. My little girl is going to have a brother and he is growing well in me. I've been very worried for the past 2 months since the result of my blood test show very high risk.
Jaundice: My #1 had it too and I think it's nothing to do with the food we eat. According to one reading, different blood groups of mother and baby may also cause jaundice in baby. My mum used to say I ate too much noodle during pregnancy that caused jaundice in my #1. I think children should not take too much pumpkin, carrot and orange etc as they may cause yellowish their skin in their bodies, this also applies to adult.
I too would like to know if there's any way to prevent jaundice in baby. The two daughters of my cousin didn't have it.
