mrslong : u are so funny! haha
AtomicKitten>> Ya...I was quite surprise when my boss pass me the birdsnest. It's quite easy to cook the birds nest - double boil method. Soak the birds nest for 1/2 hour for it to soften. Then put the birdsnest into a smaller pot (with 1 rice bowl of water) in the bigger pot (water must cover half the height of the smaller pot. Boil for 2 hours then add rock sugar for taste.

bbbliss: orh.. now i know whats "double boil". thanx for sharing! Think i can try! so use low heat huh? wouldnt the water all evaporate after 2 hours eh?sorry.. i never try b4 so wondering..
Just to check, so we can drink chicken esssence with cordycep and ginseng now? Just that dont drink too regularly?
EDD date: My gynae told me the EDD date we shld follow the very first one when we know we are preggie. As all our babies will grow at different rate, eventually when u go scanning, the EDD will be changed.

How "early" is safe huh?

Jo Lyn>> ya, my gynae also said to follow the 1st EDD date but usually the EDD will change according to your BB's growth. And for EDD, it won't change so much (e.g. 12 Jul become 20 Jun)
Atomickitten>> Any week after Wk 38 is considered full term liao...so it's ok to deliver by then.

hael: Initially i also want to sign up for May class. But my friends advise me that by then maybe we will be too big and tired to go. & the excercise that they teach us we have lesser time to do. That is why i took the March class. But hopefully i will still remember how to breathe when in labour! Hahaha..

hael : I signed up for march class coz i also scare by 3rd tri i maybe too big and heavy or tired to go for classes
hael>> that i'm not too sure but then when u go for scan, your gynae wld be able to advise you if BB's growth is ok.
anyway, the "bu" is only taken like once a week so i guess it shld be ok.
but some say taking birdnest, BB will also grow too big, so hv to let gynae advise during your visits.
i'm intending to stop taking birdnest after my last bottle finish (shld be by end of Apr) cuz heard birdnest only "bu" complexion & nothing much, heehe.

keer13: i take bird's nest once a week. and red date + wolfberry if i remember to boil it..hehe
Ann: try Ariston for front loading washing machine
ginseng (ren sheng): my cousin who's also pregnant, said her gynae told her not to take coz may result in blood not able to clot. pao sheng should be ok, i think
Atomickitten: actually not difficult to brew bird's nest. i put in a small container with water, and place it in a slow cooker with water filled to at least 1/2 the height of the small container. i let it cook for 4-5 hours. oh ya, i will also place a clean washcloth below the small container to prevent it from rattling when the water in the slow cooker boils. i do it at night and in the morning i'll drink it before consuming anything. better absorption on empty stomach
bird's nest also to strengthen lungs. but for full benefits of bird's nest, it must be taken on a consistent basis.
chicken essence: can take now but once a week should be enough. some mommies reported that their babies have strong legs when born
EDD: should take the one given by gynae. anyway, it's an estimated date, so no worry.
hael, Jolyn: funny leh, when i told the parentcraft lady my EDD is July, she said May is too late, so i signed up for March class

tonics -- im supposed to be bu-ed now.. but i have been sick and coughing for the last 2 weeks! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] so my mom say... next week onwards then start to bu lor...then i will have 1 mth to bu before i have to start all the liang things liao... sianzz.. but i need the bu wor.. my body so weak.. keep falling sick
EDD -- follow the latest one.. cause EDD will be changed according to the development.. but hor... after the detailed scan, gynae will normally follow the weight of the bb liao... for me, i give myself (2 weeks - EDD) lor.. so i think i will deliver early july...

i also dunno how i sprain myself.. jus cough and i hurt myself.. i sprained at my ribcage area, under my armpit near my boobs... -.- now when i take deep breath, that area hurts... ytd i took paracetamol to ease the pain and relax the muscle.. i almost couldnt sleep.. cause i cannot lie properly on the bed.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
Ling -- u shud be able to feel bb movement every 30 mins.. as bb also need to sleep and each sleeping interval is about 30-40 mins.. so u shud gauge roughly about there.. dun panic if i dun feel anything but if u dun feel right, u shud see ur gynae.
sometimes we are doing things, walking arnd, so we cannot feel the movement. stay calm and quiet and u can start feeling bb's movements again. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Atomickitten: I heard caesarean take a long time to recover. Have you thought of normal delivery with epidural? I most likely be going with it.
My galfriend was sharing with me that if I opt for epidural, I should sign on some form of documents 1st so that if I need the epidural they can straight away give it to me.
For my galfriend's case, she was already in great pain, but need to listen to the missy on the effects of epidural, sign on the documents, and waited 20mins before the epidural take effect. It was a painful experience.

Epi -- for my first delivery, i didnt take any epi.. i jus use the gas to tahan and wait for dr ang... when dr ang came, i threw the gas one side and start pushing.. lol.. i was more scared of the epi than the pain.. the needle of the epi is crazily LONG... haha.. i told my hubby... i wont use epi not because im a hero, but im more scared of the needle than the pain.. haha.. so im not gg for epi...
anyway, the pain is not continuous. to me, its bearable.. maybe because my threshold is very high.. and with my hubby's support, i was able to deliver in 3 pushes..
after delivery, i was ask to bed rest.. but i sneak out to the petrol kiosk to buy puffs.. haha.. then kena caught by missy.. wahahahaha.. next day, i could walk arnd the hospital also..
heard from my friend, she took epi.. i was so numb and giddy that she had to sleep and rest on the bed... i hear liao i very scared.. so i decided to go without epi

Ann: ya, my mum used ariston for more than 10 years - no problem. i like it too, but need to let you know that it doesn't spin out water from the clothes 100% - clothes still a bit damp after wash. but ok with me coz there'll less creases. if you want you can spin the clothes again, to take out excess water
Serene: take good care of yourself ya. i find that when i dun drink enough water or take enough fruit, i'll feel one kind, like going to fall sick. also keep yourself in a happy optimistic mood - good for you and baby [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
