Valerie, during my first pg, i avoided mango, watermelon and a few other fruits including oranges. Now I dun really bother.. watermelon I take with soya milk, orange and mango I take, but in moderation. Papaya can take only 1 slice a day. My first pg, I take raw oysters and sashimi after the 5th month.. hehe .. hubby seafood distributor so he knows which one fresh and which hotel is clean. So tht time, I ate once a fortnight. Until my mil stopped me from eating.
Jolin, it's true tht first 3 mths, babies dun absorb much on what we eat. But it's the constitution of our bodies that we have to be more careful esp. the 1st trimester that miscarriage rate is very high.
Trinket, I saw a few ppl recommend that store.. Is it very cheap there?
Gregda, if you read up I think there is a certain amt of caffeine you can take in a day. Thus, I limit myself to a cup of coffee a day. Tht time, my mil was unhappy as she said baby come out will be very dark. In the end, my girl turned out to be fair. Sometimes, everything in moderation will do.
faithhope, honestly speaking, I just called PEM only. I was thinking of calling confinementnanny.com but too lazy. I think the rates should be ard the same. Anyway, getting a CN from agency is better than getting one outside. Afraid the CN will fly me aeroplane last minute becos it s CNY. Scarely they last min said tht they feel like going home to celebrate CNY, I will be left stranded. Anyway, CN agency have 1 to 1 replacement. And getting a CN is based on ur luck, and not the agency. If u get a good one, you are lucky. And PEM told me tht they hv signed a contract with Breastfeeding group on getting their CN to be trained in the group to be more pro bf.
Zanta, you r rite. Girls more 'wu xim'. My hubby although fillal towards my MIL, but likes to raise his voice at my mil and others. Sometimes, I hv to shout at him and now my girl also understands. So, each time he shouts at my MIL, my girl will come running and scold the dad for raising his voice.. hehe .. then my mil and me snickering 1 side as we both told him tht there will be a day, he will get his desserts..
preciousbabi, be prepared to take a bagful.. But the fish oil very ex. 30 capsules I think 58 bucks.
