I guess if put into food then rice wine/alcohol/martel/DOM will be tolerable, maybe even make the food nicer

Since small amt, then ok lah, don't ask me to drink it just like that, or even worse, rub on head n joints!! heehee ... somemore cannot really have a good bath so the smell will surely stick for many days ...
Fiona: No "correct" amt of weight gain, but in general, if you are underweight to begin with, you can expect to put on more during pregnancy, and the opposite is true is you're on the heavy side (like me!) at the start... although 2 kg sounds so little (I was abit surprised too), I feel like I've put on at least 5 - 10 kg already! Especially around the mid-section, which often feels tight and heavy and uncomfy. I guess maybe I lost weight elsewhere (where? where? cannot see any obvious weight loss!) and all the weight gain went to tummy area?
Anyway, let's see how 3rd tri goes ...

I must learn from my best friend .. her case quite jialat ... bb put on 500 g in her 2nd last week of pregnancy and then another 300 g in the last week, prompting dr to send her for c-sect to get the bb out 2 weeks earlier than anticipated
Is anyone signing up for immediate c-sect or most are going to try natural?
