morning gals
Janice,
Cod Liver oil is made from the liver of the cod fish which may contains high levels of Vit A which is unsafe for pregnant women.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cod_liver_oil
"It should be noted that cod liver oil contains unsafe amounts of vitamin A for pregnant women"
pinkmama,
me also not showing much - find that tummy & hips grow sideways instead..how i envy those with rounded/pointed tummies - look so pregnant and not FAT.
Have you gotten yr maid yet?
reira
fruits are also high in sugars which can cause GD, so must watch intake also. I got to do this OGTT in 4 weeks time, now also researching what to eat to prevent GD, esp since got family history of diabetes and on top of that, I have severe PCOS.
looks like you had a fruitful weekend.
personal update:
went for FA scan on Friday, little biscuit wasn't cooperative, had to do the scan three times before all organs can be screened. everything normal and biscuit measurments are on upper side of normal.
BTW gals,
just wondering, do you gynae measure bb's weight at every visit? and how do they determine when to bring forward EDD due to bb's growth?

My gynae told me to ignore the EDD dates on the scans. Said the earliest EDD given is the most accurate. Coz now bb is in awkward position, so difficult to get accurate readings on EDD.

went for mt checkup on Sat, BB is 732g at 24w1d.
My stomach is huge! 33in now for my 150cm frame. Waist already increased by 8in since pre-preggie. Dr said its mostly fluid inside, in fact the fluid is on the high limit. She said that this might be caused by GD and too much fluid means that the pressure will be too great inside, so no good for bb.

oh babyS,
thks for that info, now then realised why i have water retention in the legs. wonder how to get rid of it? i tried drinking more water and less salt, lifting legs when sleeping but still there after drinking MIL ginko, beancurd and barley drink.
heard some old wives's tale that if water retention in legs come and goes 3 times, means delivery is near - dun know how true this is.
reira,
will update you after i research the GD & fruits thingy..me also very afraid of getting GD, cos gynae mentioned that those predisposed to diabetes, will have full blown type 2 diabetes even after GD is resolved after pregnancy.
kikilala,
bb is of good weight, did doc mention how to reduce pressure?
re: bb's measurement of weight & EDD
i thought gynaes predict EDD based on weight of bb, no longer based on length? cos my friends had their EDD moved forwards/backwards based on the weight of the baby - or is it a case of differnt gynae - differnt practice?
celine
morning, try taking smaller meals. as tummy grow bigger will have smaller stomach, as everything inside is compressed.

hi reira
came across a comprehensive article online
link as follows:
http://www.ucsfhealth.org/childrens/medical_services/preg/highrisk/diabetes.html
Limit fruit portions:
Fruit is a healthy food, but it is high in natural sugars. You may eat one to three portions of fruit per day, but only eat one at a time. A portion of fruit is either one very small piece of fruit, or half of a large piece of fruit, or about one-half cup of mixed fruit. Do not eat fruit that has been canned in syrup.
Avoid fruit juice:
It takes several fruits to make a glass of juice. Juice is a concentrated source of carbohydrate. Because it is liquid, juice can raise the blood sugar quickly.

Yup, since i've got GD, gynae told me to stay off durians, bananas, mangoes cos these are considered very high in sugar content even though they r natural sugars. Told me to eat apples or guava instead. She oso told me not to eat fruits at nite cos it's harder to break down the sugar since our metabolic rate drops at nite.

For me, i took out one spare pillow (the kind to sleep on, not a small pillow) and i elevate my feet on it, 20 mins later the retention will disappear.. but if i walk for about 20 mins it will appear again lor.
now at work, i put my feet up on my CPU that is below my desk.. but its not higher enough.. but dont care lah, better than nothing.
