piggy,
I am 10 weeks as at today, so by then we go lo hei, should be 11+ wk bah, erm...ya I still pantang lei. But I think some of them suspect, because I have been declining a lot of invitations to lunches, parties, etc.... Guess after I pass 1st trismester, I got a lot of explanation to do.

Constipation

I still have constipation despite taking a lot of veg & fruits, I even took the fruit acid tablet from gynae but like no help leh...anyone got any suggestion what else to take to ease the problem?

 

[thepreciousones]

This CNY yr, I have no mood to shop, eat and buy anything at all. Basically becos I still puke. Feel so frustrating at times!

Smurfy
My girl refused to answer if she wants didi or meimei, she just replied "It's a BABY!"
In the beginning she said "meimei" then I also don't know why she suddenly begins to say "It's a BABY".

 

[piggytoh]

PInk,

[pegsfur]

pinkmama,

Do u eat bananas and papaya? I find yogurt will help oso.

 

[pinkpixel]

pegsfur
i have been eating yogurt, but I dare not eat banana & papaya leh....is it can take papaya?

 

[tinkabel]

Finally did my 1st ultrasound today. 8 weeks now and bb's heartbeat is a racer haha... Wow all the food is making me salivate... Can't wait to go back to Singapore

 

[piggytoh]

pink,
papaya can but dun take too much cos of the colourin..

 

[pinkpixel]

piggy,
u still have the puking feeling?

 

[pinkpixel]

piggy,
color? you mean will cause bb to have jaundice?

 

[pegsfur]

pinkmama,

Why can't take bananas? Just avoid delmonte banana will do, other banana species are ok to take. Papaya oso ok to take mah. Dun worry

 

[cherrios]

hmmm..1st tri is 12wks or 14wks? Some say 12 some say 14 eh..im confused..my friends also guessing if i m preggy..i kp avoiding answering them lo..after hiding so long feel like hiding till i give birth..haha..but i think quite difficult..

 

[tinkabel]

Re: Fruits

Actually i heard extreme sayings that cannot eat any fruits that are orange/yellow in colour. Cos might cause phelgm and prob even jaundice. but hack la, how to avoid all orange stuff. I remember when I had my 1st baby, it was summer and I had huge cravings for mangoes.

 

[pegsfur]

tinkabel,

Ya lor ... my mum didn't eat fruits, or specifically orange/yellow colour fruits, but my brother oso kena jaundice.

 

[pinkpixel]

pegsfur
ya the delmonte banana cannot. the other banana species should be ok, but my dh only goes grocery shopping at cold storage ( most convinient) & they don't sell the other species there. I will take papaya then, I like the hawaiian kind

cherrios,
u r like me, hiding from my friends. I think end of week 12 and start of week 13 is the 2nd trimester.

 

[pinkpixel]

fruits

my tcm specifically told me to avoid
1) pineapples
2) mangoes
3) del monte bananas ( this one is from friends & colleagues & mother in law )

He said the best fruit to take are apples & chinese pears.

But according to gynae, best fruit to take are kiwis, strawberries & grapes

 

[cherrios]

pink, after hearing so many stories, i dun feel like announcing at all..haha..anyway i m far far away,they cun c my tummy also..my dad even say dun need to tell my relatives,if not they will come n kpo..haha..

 

[pinkpixel]

cherrios,
my problem is my friends keep asking me out for activities like shopping, lunches, dinners, drinks...aiyo, I ran out of excuses to tell them already. I give in sometimes, just going for a short dinner at most, but will say no to after dinner drinks.

i really really hope I can past the next two weeks smoothly, so I don't have to think of excuses to tell them anymore

 

[tinkabel]

pinkmama, I am not so sure abt strawberries, cos my hubby didnt let me eat. He says strawberries are one of the most porous fruits. Meaning, it could hv absorbed the most fertiliser. But hack la, just eat everythg in moderation.

Cherrois, I think as long as u are comfy, u can let them know. No need to wait till 1st trimester is over. Act, I think a good time, is after u get the oscar test done.

 

[cherrios]

y cannot eat mangos? I just ate 1 yest =p oh,n i love grapes alot recently..haha..

 

[shanghaibb]

Re: Constipation
For me, drinking lots of water and milk helps.
As compared to a few weeks back, going to toilet was like "Lian Gong", now's quite smooth.

 

[cherrios]

yup,was thinking after the scan, but....my results take more than a week to come out...haha..but oh well,i can wait till then,since alrey hide so long le...

[mashybrainz]

Re; jaundice

it's coz the liver not well developed lah. Not becoz of orange stuff that we ate. We ourselves will turn abit orange if we overeat orangey stuff but it's harmless. So everything in moderation. I didn't eat much orangey stuff my boy also got jaundice. So pls read abt things, find out more, don't just depend on hearsay.

Anyway, why worry. Really, most bbs will get jaundice. The good thing is we're giving birth in July/Aug when sun is plentiful. When my boy had jaundice, we had nowhere to sun him except admit into hospital coz it was raining everyday.

 

[dolcevita]

fatbobo,
Im working at Gateway, walking distance to suntec or to bugis. Rigt in the middle between these two.

 

[regg]

Hi Mashy,
i agreed with u, we have to really read more instead of just hearsay.
From what i know oranges wont cos jaundice but cannot eat too much when preggie cos bb next time will have alot of phlegs.. so i take 1 orange alternate day.
Those food if we over eat and will cos colouring is carret and papaya... i still eating just moderate.

 

[piggytoh]

Regg,
ya lor all abt $$...
