Maybe I am being a bit revolutionary to say this, but I think all things in life come with risk. Unless we want to live in a bubble, don't eat outside food, grow our own vegetables and animals, cook our own food.
Unless something has been specifically contraindicated by your doctor, it should be fine to eat a balanced diet, with everything in moderation. Wouldn't it be silly to be overly cautious and end up being stressed over what to eat?

piggyB:
gynae say no salad. i also crave for sandwish, so i only buy those with cucumber. No lettuce.
Oh ya, Iceberg Lettuce definately cannot.
And yes, no mutton. MIL keep repeating and repeating. Seems like its a huge NO.
Gingerleaf:
As for birdnest, if eat now, BB will have asthma.
Better aviod.

Babytum and joyojoy: I think currently it's because of the E.Coli scare. We don't know which vegetables may kena. First they say is Spanish melons, then German sprouts and last I heard, avocado from Spain in Thailand.
That's why my dad, a staunch vegetarian who had frequently espoused the benefits of raw vegetables did an about turn recently and ordered me to make sure all my vegetables are cooked!

X - I am also attending a wedding this Friday. I doubt most people would be so pantang, cos I really have no intention of telling anyone there - especially since I haven't even told my parents yet! After all, I see preggy women at weddings all the time!
Yes, everything in moderation is fine. Don't need to overthink & overstress it.

Joyojoy: Is there a reason why cannot eat sharksfin? Is it because similar to hq's list above abt shark being high in mercury content?

oh yes birdnest , Snow frog (Hasma) these are not good to take too much , high in protein ( too high/rich) bb easy to get asthma and eczema
as for mutton... maybe old wives tale about getting fits , but for my #1 I craving , I ate a small bit lamb shank he seems ok.
shark(fin)considered deep sea fish - unless the rest serving jelly ..?!?!?!

piggyB: In normal times, I will really envy your appetite, all the healthy stuff! I can so imagine you have no constipation problems!
For me, my food preferences have really swung towards meat. Recently, I have craved really unhealthy food like KFC and fish and chips (I had the most heavenly fish and chips past Sun!) No wonder I'm depending on apples and prune juice to ward constipation.

(x) and MayC: I'm also attending a friend's wedding this Sat. It is nice to be part of a joyous occasion. I did tell her I'm pregnant just in case her in laws or parents are pantang.
Yeah i gues its all a risk game la.. salads got risk but cooked veg also got risk ma.. there is no guarantee cooked stuff no contamination.. like the childcare centre case.. also can kena.. i think i will still take salads la if not lose out on the vitamins and fibre..
Think u ask ang moh they will also ??? y we so many restrictions.. haha

Read that iceberg lettuce no nutritional value, so best to go for dark green leafy veg like spinach.

To count rice, grab some uncooked rice grains(not too much If not u count the whole day) n start counting. Even girl. Odd boy. Mine says girl. Enjoy!
For ocean fish like tuna, shark... Everything in moderation. Ur mercury levels wun increase alot unless u eat e whole tuna or shark. For veggies n fruit u can try buying organic for the dirty dozen ( e dozen fruits n veggies listed as the most full of pesticides.) n make ur own salads at home where you ensure cleanliness. Mutton can eat in moderation. Y ur discouraged to eat is coz it's high in cholesterol n can increase ur blood pressure if eaten everyday which is dangerous for pregnant women. </font>

piggy and maddie: But isn't it "political" to not ask my MIL firsT? sigh...
Peanut: do yr in laws know u pregnant? What they say? My Mil ownself say better my mom do for me cos more 'comfortable'. Some ppl mil insist to do for them. Think u have to see yr mil what type. My issues with in laws only started after bb born.
Pantang food: think the big fish thing maybe true. We can't eat enough fish oil from fish better to take capsule. Raw veg coa risk of bacteria, more so now cos e coli thing. Soft cheeses cosBacteria. Think the rest not so clear, mostly chinese belief. Up to u whether u want risk it or whether you believe.

Re: food to avoid
I guess everything is all in moderation...except no no for raw food..
Tried the gender predication calender...it says a boy again..
Peanut: Are u staying near MIL or ur mom? I think u have to consider the distance they need to travel also..Its true dat asking ur mom to do will be better cos its probably easier to iron out any issue or differences..maybe u wan to tok to HB and see wat is his view?
for mine case, I am staying near MIL..dats why I am intending to ask my MIL to do confinement for me

For me, both my mil & mother are working so confirm will get confinement lady one.

On food consumption, i believe that different races n religion have different cultures n beliefs. In fact just an eg, ang moh in the tv series 'i didnt know i was pregnant', they eat things as normal, no supplements, yet their babies were born healthy n see all pink pink cheeks. Malays have lesser pantang in food n many survive. In kampong when none have choices, babies are still born healthy. Some babies survive on drinking teh-o cos in those days cannot afford buy milk when milk no supply. No comparison here but everything eat in moderation is okay... Any fruits or even raw vege like salads. Get organic ones, wash properly n everything will be alright. I ate salads during my last pregnancy to watch my weight. Bought organics prepared at home wash n all. Helps in getting our daily intake of fibre. Rather than take supplement fibre pills, ori form better to me...
If we have so much pantang we'll be a worry wart.. Even our gynaes wont encourage tht.. Usually they'll advice, i know mine does tht(Dr Eunice Chua) .. Eat in moderation.. Thts all..

Hi
Anyone cannot sleep also?
Agree w blueY re salad. Good to eat but must make sure wash properly, which means wash yourself. Outside salads we will never know how much if at all they wash it. Anyone who works in F&B line?
Re stingray: my MIL said cannot eat so I didn't eat in her presence. She's the don't ask why just don't eat type. And there is a whole long list of stuff. Those that I never wanted anyway I guai guai follow. The rest like cannot eat mutton cos child will get fits (name sound alike) I still eat. Don't think Malay n indian babies get more fits than Chinese lor. When my hb argue why cannot, my grandMIL said their genes diff fr Chinese. Champion lor.
Re gender. I really have no idea what gender. Don't mind girl then can share clothes with my number 1. Boy also good cos different n my PIL want boy.

Dear Mummies,
Are you already doing research on baby carriers? I am coz I'm very particular coz of my backache.
I found this carrier: Manduca which is not bad. I went down to the shop to try as well and realised the weight distribution is quite good.
Emailed Manduca's website (http://www.manduca-baby-carrier.eu) and they will ship to Singapore! Shipping plus price of item is cheaper than the retail price in sg. You guys can consider ordering direct from them. (^_^)
Jus sharing some info! Hope it helps some of you mummies!
