[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] and I was hoping for a quick way to cool down quickly, before it worsens.. so i guess it's back to more water and honey.
my edd is currently 11 sep, and am still deciding between sgh or tmc. anyone can give any idea to delivery at sgh?

hi ladies
pls take care as weather seems erratic again.
not sure how many of you drink dairy milk or soy milk.
My personal belief is not to drink too much or not at all, whether pregnant or non pregnant.
my friend just gave me a recipe to make almond milk. tried it just then.
tastes so like soy.
Just need to soak the raw almonds for 3-4 hours to soften them. Then blend them with water and add dates if u want it to be sweeter.
I added manuka honey. Yum!!
As you know, certain kind of nuts provide good fats which we need.

gina : i'm not so sure of absolutely no no foods. some eg would be raw food/seafood/fish limit to mainly cod and salmon/pineapple/not so sure about the melons fruits like watermelon honeydew..(if eat better eat in moderation like a slice here and there shd be fine)
On the other hand, all the berries will be gd. rich in antioxidents.
mb 2nd time mummies can give more advice? [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Yes, based on what I have heard..
Watermelon, pineapples, orange, carrot, pear, aloe vera, chin chow are considered cooling.
Raw food cannot take and that includes half boiled egg.
Cold drinks, ice cream cannot take.
Cold cut food like ham and sushi is also not, although cooked.
Not, I wonder if I can still take Sizzler salad.. hmmm.. Speaking of food is making me hungry...

Hehe, I stock up my cubicle now with lots of biscuits, i.e. oreos and wang wang + those instant cups of campbell soups. These are food that I can tahan eating from after 10am, when I get really hungry. I guess that's why I'm getting heaty [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

daddysbao : mb u can stock up with fresh fruits instead like berries and apples. the less instant stuff the better..mb biscuits switch to plain kinds like meiji??
if i dont know what to eat, i'll usually settle for fruits.
anyone knows ok to take grapes/kiwi and pesimon?

Simbaobao: Haha blame it on my kiasuism. It worked for me initially so I didn’t dare to stop to prevent the nausea from coming on. Yes, lesson learnt: check any medication before taking!
As for dim sum, you can try Red Star @ Blk 54 Chin Swee Rd. It serves nice and authentic dim sum…=)
Gina_Christine, Sung & Bunnz: Thanks! =))
Muffin: Are you working in the private or govt sector? I think govt sector tend to be more open and pro-family so it should not affect. But private sector, to need to give 4 months maternity leave to you is really a big big deal. I’m planning to look for a job in the govt sector next month after working for 4-5 yrs in the private sector.
Oh yah I found out from my TCM practitioner friend that barley is a strict no-no, coz it ‘lubricates’ the womb too!

@muffin - first trimester. He was very strict about herbal stuff. He was even willing to relent on 1 cup of tea per day but no herbal. Bird nest is okay but too much will cause phelgm.
@B.isforbaby - No barley too?
Wow, really a lot of food cannot take...
I heard papaya take in moderation cos can cause jaundice.

Daddysbao: It’s a TCM term kinda thing. The practitioner said it’s smooth in its effect, so it can be too lubricating and cause baby to ‘slide’ out. Not sure how to express in English though haha…
Oh yes, my gynae also told me no papayas and pineapples too!
Gina: yes! This is the 1st food that she warned me against taking so better take note haha. And I agree! A lot of restrictions…I can’t wait to feast after Sept! Haha…

Hi mummies! Just went gynae checkup today n am now 10weeks. EDD has been brought fwd to 9th sept instead so gotta trouble pinkiedot to change my EDD on the chart.
For 1st preg I've learnt totally no-no is those raw stuff like sashimi, no mutton (ppl say can get fits) and no cold stuff as much as u can help it in this weather. Cannot take too much vitamin A so guess that's where the papaya no-no came from?
Now for this 2nd preg I'm trying to keep to the same I did for my first. Think the cold stuff is really true cuz many ppl tell me. Even those with more "westernized" thinking. Guess just try to avoid cold or for those drinks from fridge just let it stand a while before drinking so not so cold..
Have a great weekend mummies! Take care and try to rest more!

Btw, why no soy milk? I like tat very much .
Muffin,
Glad to hear everything's fine. U rest well!
Jen79,
Hope u rest well n feel better too. Take care!
Gina,
Can do it one! Hee some tips, skip all ice for your drinks ordered outside. Eg. Fruit juices, the fruits r usually already chilled so even without ice is still abit cold. Get hb to refrain from eating food u like but cannot eat now in front of u else makes u craves for it no good. Haha best get him to tk same food as u sometimes for support ;P N lastly like Ade said, keep thinking if your little one n all the bearing will be worth it [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Ade,
U rest well. Juz hug hug your gal n let her lie with u yeah.
Choco,
Me too. Planned to avoid wat I did for #1 for this preg too. Hopefully can tong even more n dun sip any Chinese tea throughout n no ice cream dis time!
Re. Food to avoid
If u goggle on it, ripe papaya is ok but unripe papaya is a def no no. I took some last time coz really bad constipation but of coz safer remedy is still prune juice
Herbal stuff def no no for 1st trim. Can tk abit in 2nd trim eg after 5mth as tonic but not too much in case become heaty.
Hmmm I always tot barley water is ok. Planning to drink abit come 2nd trim coz very refreshing, prevent heatiness n good for our urinary system [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

The other aunties will know later n then they wun say anything. My families somewat believes tat not good for pregnant woman or bb to come close to 'white' matters coz bbs r very sensitive to these matters. U consider k.

And I forgot the most impt thing we cannot take is any kind of medication. Woke up with a very bad flu and without medication, I m almost like a walking zombie with dripping nose.. Haha
What an active mornin! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Gina : perhaps u can drink hot water with lemon slices. good for body. in fact lemon helps our body to stay alkaline. Gd even for non pregnant people.
Simbaobao : poor thing..just be more selective of your takeaway food. some too oily/salty
I ate one bowl of fish slice ee mee before i realised i was pregnant. the very next day, i vomitted.
That was the only time i vomitted.
why dont u ask your mil u can go to the funeral a not? See what she says.
Dont need to bother about what other people say at all.
muffin : Soy is cos it'll increase our estrogen level and affect our hormones. something like that.
Actually before I'm pregnant, i'm already selective of the foods i eat.
So i just continue the same diet even when i'm pregnant.
