Moon,

cos i also did a search but for aloe vera some say gd some say no gd.. haha.. but i tink abit ok bah..



Rene,

i also took pineapple n watermelon hahaha n i cant do w/o cold water ... but to compensate tt i try to drink the tonic my MIL cook for me la.. cos feel guilty n i dun 1 my bb to have phelgm n fall sick easily [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
eh i thought pao sheng is ok? My mom made for me but i didn't drink much coz i hate the taste... supposed to 补气.. she checked with EYS or HockHwa staff...

Cordyceps is ok too..



Actually personally I don't follow all these at all... I'm the most illegal one around I think... all the unhealthy illegal food+ drinks I will take... wahahaha oops



plus, all the healthy+ nutritious TCM/ herb stuff/tonic I don't take...can't stand the smell and taste...

I will ask my Mom- Can you guarantee that if I drink this my child won't have phlegm or cough? If you can guarantee I will drink it if you can't ..then too bad lor... wahahahah

 
piggy, honestly I don't think we'll ever ingest any of these in large enough amts for it to really cause any harm to ourselves or the baby.



For eg: some are die-hard BELIEVERS in bird's nest during pregnancy saying it'll let baby have beautiful skin etc. On the other hand, some say will cause phlegm, etc. So who's right? My stand is, got $$ then drink lo but as with all things, don't go overboard la. Everything in moderation and in good sense.

 
Rene,

oops.... okie okie... :p



Vivi,

I also took pao sheng leh but it was in bird nest... took it twice so far... and my grandma and auntie have been asking me to boil pao sheng with chicken too... hmm....



Piggy,

I guess should be alright bah... dun think aloe vera (as a fruit) would be as harmful as herbs.. but for watermelon, please buy it as a whole and cut it yourself. A fren who works in the F & B line said that during her food hygiene course, it was highlighted that cut watermelons tend to absorb bacteria from the air... so, we never eat cut watermelons outside....

 
VIvi,

my MIL also got add pao shen in my BN leh.. tink shd be ok la not say add alot n my #1 ok leh..



Pink,

hee me also not much better but i try not to overeat too much liang food cos bb sick no joke.. they can cry whole nite u no need to rest 1 leh..

 
pink: think I'm like u! Hehhee.. aiya, all these have little or no basis and every other person I ask will tell me a different thing! Generally pao sheng is 'liang' so some can take, some can't.



Cordyceps is supposedly good (but bad for my pocket cos so $$$$)



Just look at the ang mohs or generally other races, they don't take all these nonsense and they deliver perfectly fine & healthy babies rite!

 
Rene,

wahahah yes i agree... it not we can afford to drink BN everyday n i love BN la so i dun care if it will improve my bb skin hahah...



Moon,

yes yes i seldom buy from fruit stall cos the bateria alot.. usu i ate some when i saw cos buy whole watermelon i cant finish 1...

 
Hee hee so pao sheng can hor because I dont know which thread I read and say pao sheng is good so that time after first trimester I got my dad to cook chicken soup for me. Then he cooked until I got so sick of it and I am not drinking any herbal soup liao..... wait I am too heaty....



Moon I heard that one too about the watermelon. In fact not very good to eat cut fruits bought from the stall best is to buy and eat it at your home.



Talking about fruits, my work place has this fruit sale and I bought very sweet seedless grapes at only $4... from sun and moon. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Rene,

actually hor whether bb healthy anot cant tell from early stage 1 jus like some of us more prompt to heatiness n some body v liang.. i dunno if all these herbs help but cant say nonsense la.. cos after birth i force myself drink those tonic my CL cook for me n i can feel my body stronger leh..

 
Rene,

wahaha... That's true!



Piggy,

hahaha...ya, 1 whole watermelon is really a lot....that's why I haven't ate any watermelon for years liaoz.... :p

 
Moon,

hahha usu if not preg i will jus buy from fruit stall only preg den i am more careful.. usu ate those from my MIL house la.. keke..

wah tokin abt fruits i am thinkin of the KOrea strawberry i bott from giant so red n sweet..

 
Rene,

but for preg it diff mah cos usu it only when u got prob den see TCM den can consider 对症下药?? for preg it jus some say eat or drink this gd some say other thing haha.. so jus listen n follow watever make sense to u?? anyway i tink those angmo body diff from asian also wor.. cos their climate n ours diff so they dun need confinement etc? tt wat i heard la not v sure:p



Pink,

wah u gd life leh. lunch eat crab.. aiyo suddenly i tink of butter crab haahhaha..

 
Piggy,

oh, I see... wow.... sounds good... think I must stock up on my fruits liaoz... been eating apples and persimmons for the past few days...

 
Moon,

i tell u hor when i had #1 i eat an apple aday cos scare constipation esp i dun eat vegie.. end up now i see apple i scare hahah lately also eat alot of grava... hehe..

 
Piggy and Pink,

I thought not supposed to eat crab? :x



shall do away with the bottle warmer, hubby says can just boil water then later on put the bottle of milk in to warm it up..

 
Piggy,

haha... ya, there was one point when I got so sick of red apples that I took green ones instead... then, later, I just got fed up with all apples. wahahaha.... :p

 
piggy, in fact i think our climate is the one that doesn't need confinement! Well, if you think abt it, confinement practice comes from China whereby there're 4 seasons. Also, such practices are passed down from the past where people drew cold water from the well (that's why must boil).



In SG, it's basically hot or very hot all year round. To me, doesn't make sense not to bathe. From TCM perspective (asked my TCM doc before I conceived), the not bathing part has no basis either..

 
Lynn,

who say cannot eat crab? i seriously dun believe eatin crab will make the bb hand itchy or walk like crab la keke... again it up to individual to believe[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Oh I guess some also say don't eat crabs cos crabs is 'liang'. Again, up to individual la! If wanna eat then eat la, so stressed for wat!

 
piggy- hahaha i have to stop posting what i'm eating already because if not 100% all forbidden food and i'm happily eating... hahahaha we must really be the bo chup kind.. and u are better than me liao
