pineapple tarts are fine to consume in moderation ...
i take pineapple fruit as part of my fruit intake..
i think after 1st trimester its fine.. plus pinapple jam is soo processed its not the same as unripe pineapples...
having said that, everything in moderation mummies..
=D

 

[pravina]

cramps
i hv cramps in my calves and arms during the nite and its very painful.. heard need to take magnesium and potassium ( ample present in bananas) to prevent cramping ...
dunno what causes cramping in belly though... hv had it but they come and go really fast...
gynae says nothing to worry abt.

maternity bras
i got mine at mothercare... bloddy ex but relieved the itchiness and lumpiness.. anyone experience that??
i think only available from size 36onwards but not sure...
dun remember the brand..

 

[bean_bean]

jeslyn,

You will see the gynae every 4 weeks. so from week 12 to week 20 its abt 3 visits.

 

[porky_jean]

hi jeslyn, my gynae ask me to see him 4 week once after 12 weeks...

 

[leejeslyn]

oh ok...thanks! so it's more worthwhile to sign package frm week 12 onwards?

 

[bean_bean]

it depends on the package price right?

how much is your gynae charging for the package from 20 weeks?

If not I can also check out Suntec since I will be meeting a customer later in the afternoon.
