piggyB - think better ask staff first..cos i read content of wolfberries and red date there is licorice lei...according to TCM, licorice should be avoided for preggies.
agree with jingles, better to ask the TCM shop staff for advice. cannot really ask gynae for advice (cos they are not familiar with TCM) but I think the shop staff can give fairly reliable advice, esp if you have a normal pregnancy with no complications (e.g. GD, high blood pressure, bleeding, etc)
oh, thanks mommies. I took abit of chicken essence pre & post delivery for #1, but only cos my MIL & friends bought them & I didn't want to waste them....maybe I should start buying some myself too.
EYS or Brands? How frequent are u mommies taking it? Once every other day?
Btw, any update from May on her bleeding...hope she is doing well...

piggyB and jingles: If I'm not wrong, I think Jingles is referring to licorice which is one of the ingredients in EYS' Red date and wolfberries Essence of chicken product itself. I just did a news check and found that yes, bbc had reported that licorice is linked to slower cognitive development in children if taken by pregnant women.
Red date and wolfberries by themselves should be ok right? They don't contain licorice hor? I'm having these in my soup for dinner tonight.... if so, this is the last time I'm having these in my soup!

tulip7v,
I vomitted my dnr too! But much earlier.. prob 30mins after eating it. Yesterday went bakerzin..wanted to eat tomato based pasta but dunno why I ordered Carbonara instead. Urgh. Everything ended up in the toilet even before I exited the mall...after that, stomach felt so queasy the entire night.
X,
u are lucky to have met 2 nice ppl in the morning! Doubt other preggies have much luck to even secure a seat in the morning rush.

gingerleaf, you're very brave leh. I have totally skipped all the cream based italian food. so scared of the "aftermath". actually all these cream reminds me of puke and the smell turns me off.
sigh... the variety of food i can eat/drink and still can stomach is so limited now.

mummies, how often do u all take chicken essence, bird nest, etc? what other tonics or pregnancy food do u all take on regular basis? so far, I've been eating as normal (same as pre-pregnancy), except taking gynae's folic acid & fish oil, and cutting down on caffeine.. hb asking if need to buy any "bu" anot..

Hi, sorry to disturb you.
Do you interested for Red rice wine for your confinement cooking?
It is an traditional Chinese alcoholic drink made from fermenting glutinous rice and it is very healthy and nutritious. Most ladies are taking Glutinous rice wine to built up resistant and good health after birth during confinement.
if interested pls PM me

no lah wont nose bleed lah kekeke not drinking everyday. I also have "counter-react" my mum will cook barley water also. very cute hor , she will cook both heaty and liang stuff. so become balance.
however I stay off birdnest and "snow frog" stuff , seems no added benefit to bb, ok lah maybe mummy have good complexion,then seems like alot of my other friends/relatives who took their bb end up w asthma or eczema, so they tell my mum and me dont need to eat.

ThenI most likely have a girl.
Had morning sickness early in pregnancy like 5 weeks onwards.
My belly looks like a watermelon.
Also craving sweets & fruit- fall in love with coke & chocolate.
Really don't look quite as good as then my last pregnancy in 2007.
Super duper moody in this pregnancy.
Lots of breaks out more than usual.
Right now i look like a maid in my work place & house- tired,stress and haggard.
My next app with my gynae is 19th Aug, really wants a GIRL!!!
Too many Boys at home, hope to get a girl this time.

Hi girls,
How's everyone doing? Hope all is good for you girls. I had my 2nd appt on last Saturday now currently at week 16 and my gyane has confirm that 90% I am expecting a girl. The rest of the 10% will be confirm again during my detail scan on aug
looking at the myth the only accurate myth for me is that I am having more breakout as compare to my first
pregnancy and during my first checkout my bb's heartbeat was 168 and now I am expecting a girl. Compare to my first pregnancy it's a contrast as for the rest can't commend much as I don't really have any synmptom for both pregnancy . Oh my first is a boy ...

X - hehe, mine is pretty much leaning towards a boy! Have a boy already & everyone is assuming we would love a girl, but i really want another boy
My week 16 appnt is next week but my gyne is super careful, won't hint of the gender till the week 20 detailed scan...
Hugs to mommies still having morning sickness! I am sure it will pass soon enough. Meanwhile, I am reminding myself to watch my weigh - went up 0.5kg overnight! Hopefully just water retention cos I don't want to balloon too quickly! Am now up about 2-2.5kg since pre-pregnancy!

Hi gals,
super moody today cos having on and off discharge since yesterday. Started off with brown stain yesterday afternoon but no more by evening. Just now went toilet and wipe with paper got brown stain again plus slight blood discharge. Decided to call clinic, clinic assistant ask me to go down and see gynae tonight. Haiz, thought 13th week should be more stable liao....Hope everything is fine..

Apple,
Stay positive! It's brownish discharge? Abit shd be ok. If fresh red, then more worrying. Do update us of your status after gynae visit. Try to rest more, dun walk too much.
MayC,
High five on wanting another boy. Hope our wishes come true.
From the list of myths, i'm also 50/50. Haha...

Hi all, I haven't posted in a while, but I wanted to share a little discovery I made at lunch earlier today.
I'm tall and big and had been having trouble finding clothes to fit my expanding waistline - something I could only solve shopping online at US sites and at asos.com.
Was at Marina Square for lunch just now and discovered 2 wonderful places to get clothes (I think a lot of the mummies second and third times around will already know).
1) Maternity Exchange - 3rd floor (found a nice pencil skirt for work and I only needed an "M"!)
2) Muji - I think it was on the 2nd floor (never knew they have a small maternity section!). Bought a nice cardigan that doubles up as a nursing cover (comes in black, beige and navy blue stripes).
So pleased with my purchases and just wanted to share. Heh.

apple - dont worry...i think u had been walking around too much too...are u with heels? if so, think better change to flats
amaesing - yaahhh maternity exchange also do rental of cloths...incase u wish to return after sometime
hq - thanks for the list..when i read the point, if MS is too bad, inform and talk to gynae...I nearly LOL..afterall when I tell my gynae, he just sweep me off by stating - its very common in preggie -.- what a simple statement.
jac - ya tell them when you are ready lo...but not too late. Sometimes tell them earlier is better at least they know u are preggie. And if they still force u to do stupid things, u can always whistleblow to HR or women's charter
or even MOM
i am feeling rather drowsy today too...my next door colleague had asked me twice if i am not feeling well today...i must have look damn lethargic to her -.-
mummies - anyone had a list of "to buy" list to share? like things to stock up before BB arrives?

Apple, I'm in the same condition as you, maybe worse coz I had it twice, once early 13 week and another time this Sunday. Went kkh for checkup immediately on both occasions, each time ultrasound shows bb fine and cervix closed, only discharge found in the cervix area which the gyne says it may be due to hormonal changes. Am still spotting though more like slight staining now, can't wait for it to stop completely. Just thought to share this with you.
Between, jingles, thanks for your concern the other day when I post

Hope all other mums-to-be are doing alright.
sian, jinxed myself. Yesterday gynae offered me MC & anti-vomit pills, but I try to be hero, turned them down. As you would have it, the morning sickness hit full strength today. Waiting for knock off time so I can crawl back into my bed and stay there.
On a positive note, I met another forum mum at the OSCAR scan yesterday. My results were 10 times riskier than my results for #1 (1:700++) but at least gynae said the numbers are reassuring enough to leave it as it is for now. And the gynae did say ideally should try to gain back the weight lost in first trimester by the 4th month
