Apparently there's some belief that taking honey during pregnancy may increase the risk of your child having food allergies in future.
I'm not sure if it's true but I did not really take a lot of honey when preggie with #1, so not sure about the effects.

Starry,
Wow! You are drinking 3-4times! I took 1 bottle per week only cause my body quite heaty. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
gilera,
Like I mentioned, I got a shock cause I had tried a teaspoon of the honey and he said pregnant woman shouldnt take. So, I did'nt ask. Your sentence makes it seem as though u are pissed. You seem as if my post offended you. I am just sharing what the sales person said.

1d1r, no 1 i didnt take honey... but took alot of peanuts...this one i got take honey cos always down with flu n sorethroat.. also alot of peanuts... see how my no 2 turns out!
esther, i think some ppl will get heaty quite easily.. even fried food will cause heatiness.. so i think best is to take the qty according to what ur body tells u... i dun like the smell of chix essence and without fail i will always puke it out after drinking 1 mouth, but then warm one taste better.. all my the free gifts of chix essence from my baby shower, i give to my mum... i also nvr take dom/yomeishu... all give my mum too.. i think i am that type who cant take so "bu" stuff....

Roxanne,
You might want to try barley? Sometimes I felt alittle heaty and throat is abit dry n sore, I will buy barley water. It sort of cool down my body temperature. My OB said barley water is ok to consume even some people may say its 'liang'. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

esther,
born like that leh. my body used to be on the very 'liang' and weak side. really terrible. got 1 period of time kept falling sick every month. now a lot better. and during confinement, you have to eat a lot a lot of heaty foods. don't be scared and shun them. 'cos every woman after giving birth will be very 'xu' and body becomes very 'liang'. no matter how much bu i ate during last confinement also won't get heaty. in fact still could look pale. mum said i looked like ghost, forced me to drink dom and all those essences. so remember have to guai guai eat everything! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Starry, me too, drink the chk essence on every alternate day. I feel very sleepy, tiring and like no energy for this pregnancy, so I drink chk essence and hope can give me more energy during working hour. I can’t tak the cool one, I must drink the warn one. Do you knw whether we can drink those chk essence that mix with 冬虫草or党参? So far I don’t dare to touch them leh!
Hope our #2 is Baby Boy too as our #1 is baby girl
but my girl keep saying she want “mei mei” leh!

would presume normal reaction is to ask for explaination instead of being ignorant n complacent. As if watching a movie then black out no ending. At least now it's up to individual choice whether to consume or not.

gilera,
If you decided to buy something from the salesperson, I would safely say, it's because we trusted them.
If I decided to walk away without buying, that means I have my doubts about the integrity of the salesman. You don't get the idea of getting a shock after eating something that the person then tells you that it's not meant for pregnant woman? That I supposed I am too taken aback right then with the honey in my mouth.
Imagine you had a car crash, are you still able to react normally instantly? Got it?
If you think being feed info by the salesman is wrong, then I have nothing to say.
Anyway, if my post irritates the hell outta you, please ignore. I only share what the salesman had said and 1D1R had given links on the honey issue.
I think being nice to share things I heard and know. I won't be coming back anymore. You just want to win in your argument. Good luck.

emily, for me i think it is not the oil. It is the heat that's trap inside the binder. I couldnt take it plus i really didnt shower for the 1st 12 days.. Rashes broke out badly... still contemplating hard this time.
Starry, yes for sure it has it benefits.. i played classical music to m boy when he was in my tummy daily. Hubby installed a high five set under my working table and i on it when i am working. However not much effect on my boy, was a terrible colic, hard to manage bb. Waking up every 30 mins to 1 hr at night from 3am onwards. Even now at 14th months still wake up for feed twice and 3-4 times to fuss. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
Jinnous, yes i have alot of egg white mucus discharge and its alot alot!
cool cool.. well i took honey during #1 time. Touchwood no allergy no nothing now. Take every advice with a pinch of salt ya.. We are just here to share, comfort, discuss.. cheer up and hugs!

Hi mummies re constipation..I have always had constipation even b4 conceiving.
I've tried all remedies prune juice, papaya, yakult. Best results for me is when I take Red Dragonfruit. Just half a fruit in the morning and I'm sure to go in the afternoon.
Still works for me now during pregnancy..do try ladies!

maggie,
actually all these things are recommended by so-called experts lah. whether got use or not we also cannot tell since all babies are different, there is no textbook baby. babyplus/music supposed to reduce colic?? my girl also a lil' colicky in the initial stage, but she outgrew it quite fast. but i remember i was very very stressed out with her crying for no reason those few weeks! some babies very good, no colic at all and can sleep thru at 3 weeks old. envy those mums! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] anyway, we as mums all want the best for our babies. no right no wrong to anything. if really proven eat shit will ensure a 100% healthy, smart and adorable baby, i'm sure i'll eat too. lol!
minidiary,
those are cheap!!! how many pcs did you buy?
jinnous,
i had a lot of discharge for last pregnancy from mid 2nd-tri onwards. can soak pantyliner kind. it's normal! so don't freak out. actually it's good. it keeps the cervix and vagina clean and moist. but have to wipe clean and change pad often to avoid infection. and don't use those feminine wash soaps.
emilybaby,
me too, got bump. i like. hee hee!!

agreed with bubblygeekypig! my mum in kl also asked sales ppl about cordyceps and bird nest..the sales ppl said cannot consume during pregnancy! weird... then my mum went to other shop, and they said can consume and even teach her boil with what and etc... so it depends on individual...
i took manuka honey even before i pregnant because im prone to bad sorethroat everytime. now better aredi [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] I rather take manuka honey as prevention than taking antibiotic

such gd deals! i'm very tempted to go now. hubby will scold me and ask me don't go 'cos already shopped quite a bit in phuket.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] boo!
re: food
everytime i ask gynae what i can eat or not eat, his answer is always the same - eat everything in moderation. just be careful about alcohol and raw foods. apart from that, just eat! to be honest, i had my fair share of cordyceps chicken essence, honey, korean ginseng etc during last pregnancy. then later very cooling things like cold coconut juice, green lemon with honey etc. moderation is the magic word. too much of a gd thing is also not good.
and please listen to your body and mother instinct. if you don't feel safe eating anything, don't follow the hype. if everything also have to avoid/follow then pregnancy will be very stressful and not enjoyable! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
