Did your notice any change in food preference? Mine changed to the extreme and it has upset everyone especially my mum. I used to love the food she cooked, lots of veg, steam fish and soupy noodles. Now the sight of it and I want to puke, so I will turn my eyes away instantly. How how how? Better tell her to stop cooking my share? Feeling so guilty, need to confess ..
Now I can only take food which are very salty, spicy and sour... This pregnancy is making my life upside down. Noticed the odd stare from colleagues when they see what I ate for lunch.. Fish soup noodle without fish, egg and veg. Just ikan billis, lots of small chilli, small portion of noodles and soup. I finished all the soup and ikan billis leaving most of the noodle untouched. Will I get high blood pressure or something if I continue to eat like that? 7 more months le. How???

Hi pinky!
Me too had food adversion....totally can't stoamch chinese cooked style veg ( which i used to love) i crave for sour soup like borsch....and only feel like drinking milo, milk and fruits everyday....
Anyone knows if it is bad if we take too much fruits. I take up to 6-7 servings...

jts, i finally cfm my cl after 3 tries. 1st one has hestitations helping to cook/bathe my #1 so decided to call another one. 2nd one wasn't sure if she could make it for my edd n ask me to wait for her another mth or so to cfm. haha guess i'm too ks and paranoid to wait, luckily 3rd one ok. so a big load off my mind, at least my #1 will have food and bathe everyday now, phew.
realised for this preg, my tots and worries kept circulating around my #1. how is he going to take it, how to help him adapt and love bb, who's going to take care of him during my confinement, how am i going to cope with 2 esp since #1 is sticky to me, etc. feel somewhat guilty towards bb, i didn't spend as much time as i used to with #1 in talking/singing to bb. also feel like i'm a bit unfair in kept worrying about #1's daily care instead. even for cl, my priority was to get a good one who will agree to care for my #1. sigh... any 2nd time mummies feeling the same way as me?

jen ng, as long as you dun take liang fruits like watermelon and pineapple, etc, shd be fine to take other fruits. dun take too much grapes in 3rd trim coz i heard can cause phelgm in bb later. i have been taking a lot of fruits like apple, banana (small one, not the del monte big ones, the latter cannot), kiwi, plum, strawberries, etc to aid digestion and help me poo regularly.

I eat anything I want to eat, including watermelon and pineapple. I have no discipline at all in this pregnancy. Just no herbal stuff and liquor. I even tAke tea and coke.
I used to drink at least 2 cups of coffee daily, but now I hate the sign if it, even the packaging. Tea has a higher caffeine content right?
However, there is a period when I have spotting, so I do control a bit during those days but it's also before the food aversion started.

Muffin, I'm using Erbaorganics stretch mark oil 
I have no aversions but sometimes keep thinking about spicy foods! Can't get enough of fruits -- have eaten lots of apples, strawberries, oranges but my favorite is jambu! Doctors will advise you that most fruits are permissible but some stuff like pineapples and papayas need to take in moderation.

Chine, I don't go to Dr Koh but my bestie goes to him. I went with her for a few appts before cos her hubby works overseas.
Dr Koh is nice and patient, but his charges quite exp. Waiting time at the clinic also quite long.
Plus I find the location of his clinic quite inconvenient (hard to find parking and quite a walk from MRT).
Other than that, he's a nice gynae. He delivered my bestie's 2 kiddos

Thanks ladies for the opinions on circumcision. Will not think any it anymore. Realize it s mainly a Muslim thing. My Chinese fren married Malay .. So mb that s why she circumcised her son. Tot mb it s usual practice these days.: p
I eat normally. Just craving for more sweet things. Eat strawberries n blueberries everyday. Love the Korean ones. the mandarin oranges during cny time. Luckily no more at home. Superhigh in sugar that one, min 10 g of sugar each!! Love apples also (tiny ones). drink home made almond milk. Oh craving for soupy stuff also. Clear ones. Creamy ones forget it.
Bananas better don't eat too much.. Forgot why. ESP the big
ones. cooling.

Pinkypiggy: the sugar content is for the mandarin oranges. U ate 7 ! I used to take 2 a day . After seeing the sugar content, reduced to 1-2 a week. Luckily cny ended![IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Green apple!! Wah quite sourish!! u can tahan. Used to take it tog w carrot as a juice.
But still need to look for more fruit alternatives.
Oh yeah be very careful the fruits are ripe enough .

Hope everyone has a great sat. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] It's a slow sat for me, the hot weather this afternoon is unbearable. Had to turn on air con to nap.
I am having food aversions, in particular towards chinese food. Eg. I had dinner at Lao Beijing this evening & the sight of fish maw soup & roast beijing duck didnt excite me at all.
Also, i lost the addiction for kopi-c, lemon tea or teh-c. Now only drink milo & coke! Which i hardly drink previously.

muffin,
I havent started researching on the fish oil yet but have checked with my gynae. Must get those that indicate it is for pre-natal as the oil is better filtered and lesser contamination. Best to get those with EPA below 100 mg and DHA above 300 mg. SHe said that too much EPA is not good. I forgot to ask her why and havent got the time to research. Will update on this again. Hope this helps.

bunnz,
I also prefer the hotpot at tanglin. Somehow got different one. So when i wanna go chongqing, it must be the tanglin one. I ever go to the suntec one for dinner and most of the non-lunch steamboat items for dinner are not available, still charged at dinner price..

Good morning everyone!
Jennifer - After 1st trimester, it will just get better. So don't worry too much.
RE : Herbal soup
I also avoided all kinds of herbal soup. But don't know when then is safe to start drinking and what kinds of herbs are okay. But herbs also apply to the ang moh type, eg. Basil... not supposed to take in pregnancy. I google when needed before placing order when dining outside.
Wanna ask you gals... any comments or feedback on Combi stroller?
We saw one model we like. Light weight, easy to fold, can stand on its own after folding. Can fully recline, front and rear facing position.
The only problem is the recline position is controlled by tightening a "string" or harness they called it. Safe, like that?
The retail price is at $319....

Pommes, Combi is good and lasting brand [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
The recline position controlled by string is better. My boy's Graco stroller is like that, more flexi with the position & when need to change position when baby is asleep is more 'smooth'.
The other types very hard to change position & only got 2 - 4 fixed positions to choose from.

BTW, when buying stroller, must also try out if it's easy to put into your car boot if you drive
Cos certain models after folded quite bulky & hard to put into car boot.
