Jo: eggs cannot eat often? I eat almost everyday so far leh...I'm quite a picky with food plus now pregnant, my choice of food even more limited. So far the eggs I eat are fully cooked.
regarding spicy food I like to eat stuffs like rendang and curries but now I find myself having to moderate how much I eat coz if I happily eat too much curry I will feel uncomfortable for nxt few hrs till I vomit

 

[starr_nn]

chiny, it was me! I sent you PM...

 

[zelda_zard]

Thanks mummies. I guess dang gui ok but in moderation.

Pine4ling & Chiny: 店小二 duck ok rite? I had it on Wed. But I had e ginseng one.

Dym: ok to eat runny eggs as sg eggs r of high standard n e risk of having bacteria is v v low.

Jo: can eat sashimi? I'm dreaming of my salmon sashimi everyday!

 

[lusciousash]

Zelda, I ate sashimi 1-2pcs once too! My gynae was saying why to avoid raw food is becos we do not know or not sure of how the handler prepares the food. But if we are pretty confident of its standard, then it should be fine...

 

[tethysea]

<font color="000080">zelda >> I ate fish roe sushi also... oops But I won't dare to eat that from Sakae sushi or those small shops that leave outside for dunno how long (like ebi sushi, umi sushi). If you go to a high-class sushi place should be fine. Eat with lots of wasabi to kill the bacteria!

Dym >> I think depends lar... if you prepare on your own, you can make sure you wash the egg shell and buy the good quality eggs. Then should be no problem.</font>

 

[wiky]

Dym,
I made half boiled eggs for my kids last weekend, looked at them slurping the eggs up. I couldn't "ren" and cooked one for myself too, hahaha!!

 

[faith_jo]

chrmei: eggs can eat daily, just runny i kaisi don't dare take too often, but FIL insisted can and should. hahaaa
zelda: i'm missing 店小二 dang gui duck so much, gotta ask MIL if can take hahaa sashimi dr say go for high quality ones, in moderation.
MIL says whatever we take before preg just cont. but i've no craving for sashimi. just runny eggs and medium steak.
my BB like rice and meat
went MOS burger and ate rice burger, hahaaa faint...

 

[starr_nn]

I also want to eat half boiled eggs and salmon sashimi, but i scared after eating i will feel guilty ley...

 

[zelda_zard]

Jo: my bb oso like rice. I eat kuay teow will feel like puking! Ya I oso love meat. Fish ok only. Eat veggie oso 1 2 puke. Bb v fussy.

 

[dymkoh]

I love rice b4 preg!! but now when dinner time comes, i totally dun feel like eating. no cravings at all.. my mama keep asking y i cant finish a plate of rice. i will push 3/4 rice to my girl if im sharing with her. haha! totally not into veggie oso. when preg #1, i can stuff myself with veggies(i dun eat veggie at all) but not this preg. hahaha..

[snow_4ling]

Hi Huijun, okie right? haha... everything can eat but in moderation.. Now very cham.. appitite changes totally. alot of craving but not all can eat.. i love kiwi.. but very lazy to peel.. lolz.. 1 always not enough.. i also eat grapefood but i notice the bitter taste stick to my tongue for a very long time.. so i dun take so much.. like u ley.. i also prefer noodle.. esp soupy noodle.. easier to swollow.

Hi chiny, izzit p@d..? hee...

Hi Zelda, i think take DXE's duck shld be okie bah coz the duck cant absorb too much herb.. soup will be worst... in moderation shld be okie.. i also got eat bah kut teh which is cook of dang gui.. but the soup i dun drink too much...

Hi michelle, hm.. no wonder ur pil so xiao zhang..

Hi all.. actually i quite bo chap.. coz i everything also eat.. i got eat prawn roe sushi, half boil eggs... watermelon.. orange.. dang gui soup.. very bad hor.. if not very cham ley.. somemore i read in magazine tt when pregnant baby will absorb all our cholestrol.. so now i always eat seafood.. hahahaha!!!!

hi bb, if you feel like taking runny eggs. you can try chawamushi, same feeling.. very comforting..

 

[jasminesmt]

Has anyone tried PEM confinement agency before? Are their CLs ok? My MIL told us she is ok with cooking confinement food but due to her knee problem, she cannot bend down to bathe the baby. I said can I bathe the baby and she say cannot. Is there a reason why we cannot bathe the baby during confinement? So far I didn't manage to get any recommendation of CLs from friends and I am at a lost now if I should hire a CL or find alternative to bathing the baby.

 

[daisy_85]

Zelda - ya lor , dragon yr are so hot lol

Pine4ling - i'm oso 'bai wu jing ji' type, i just eat watever i feel like to eat but in moderate .. =)

Jasmine - not letting u bath the baby cos confinement old folks think we shouldnt be touching water to prevent 'feng shi'

for bathing of baby, maybe is there a table or a higher place to place the baby tub so ur MIL dont have to bend down to bath the baby .. rly have to say , dragon yr's CL need to book fast as they are 'hot selling' lol

 

[snow_4ling]

Hi jasmine.. It's not u can't bathe bb.. You can't touch water or rather cut down on the contact w water... Coz will expose to coolness into ur body.. Will be bad for body when older.. It's a confinement belief.. like only can bathe w hot herb water.. Cannot wash hair.. Cannot drink cold water.. Cannot blow fan directly.. Everyday rest rest rest.. Only can eat super heaty food like ginger, all food must cook with sesame oil.. Etc etc... Quite suffering..
Ang mho style better, once give birth.. They will give u a glass of ice cold water to drink coz they believe they it will
help in shrinking the vagina.. Do anything also can.. Haha..

 

[snow_4ling]

Hi daisy, ya.. We same.. Coz if must die die follow the trad.. We will be miserable.. Bcz really alot of things cannot eat.. pineapple, orange, watermelon, honeydew, durian , papaya &amp; more cannot take.. Cannot take caffeine mean no tea, no coffee, no chocolate, no Milo.. No coke.. Cannot take cold stuff.. No ice cream.. No seafood.. No lamb.. If no msg &amp; preservative = no outside food at all.. Sorry. Abit lorso.. I tried to research b4.. Ask Ard.. Read internet.. Until I fed up.. Hack care already.. If like tt.. Left w nothing to eat.. Cz now all process food.. Haha..

 

[michelle22]

Daisy : ya now this unborn baby is super nottie then my #1

snow : what to do..... got this type of pil....
so u add me at fb le ma...

har.... not able to sleep again...

how come cannot drink chocolate n milo de....

when i got #1 i got drink lei...

if so many things cannot eat then become sick lor not pregnant lor... ;p haha

 

[faith_jo]

Michelle: cocoa contains caffeine that's y no chocolate &amp; Milo. Coke has too. Yah most ppl thought lipton tea &amp; coffee. But green tea has higher content of caffeine than coffee.
So if we look into details of all these foods actually a lot 'cannot' eat. Hahaa. So just do everything in moderation.

 

[huijun]

Gd morning mummies, have a nice weekend...

 

[zelda_zard]

Jasmine: during confinement we r not suppose to bath bb. But I start to bath bb from e 4th wk onwards as CL still around to check I do e right thing. I don't trust my maid to handle nb as she's too rough n hygiene level not high enuf ;p Have never tried agency CLs b4... Will do so if I rilr can't get 1.

Pine4ling: do u eat crabs? I heard preggy cannot. Luckily I don't eat crabs ;p Ya I agree wif u. Maybe now we not 1st time mummies so more bo chap. Last time more kiasi.

 

[lusciousash]

My mum was mentioning tat we should eat wide variety of food including those pineapple, watermelon etc becos it's better for bb to absorb wide variety of nutrients and tat when bb born bb won't be too picky over food? Dunno true anot for the 2nd reason. Lol

 

[michelle22]

Jo : omg i got #1 i never drink coffee n coke... only choclate n milo..... but still like that....

Zelda : i got #1 i eat alot of crab.... why cannot....

 

[daisy_85]

ladies just to share a catering website for confinement which my friend tried and said its good

http://www.natalessentials.com/conf_menu.html

 

[piggy2008]

Daisy : thank you so this is purely cater food only hor ...

 

[daisy_85]

Carice - ya , my friend tried and say its big portion too and food taste nice ..

so for mummies who wanna get catering , hope this helps ..

for part-time CL , i'm trying to ask my fren how she charge for part time CL and let u all know the roughly price of hiring part time CL

 

[piggy2008]

Daisy : do post in fb also ... once you know the part time CL ... easy for reference ... thank you v much .....

 

[daisy_85]

Carice - oh ! sure =) np !

 

[michelle22]

Daisy : i call up to bishan nurse there lei... asking them things lei.... they ask me not to drink chicken essence wo.....

then i forget to ask the vitmin pill one bottle how much.... i dont dare ask liao.... cause she shot me back i pregnant #2 liao should know ma.... faint....

 

[jasminesmt]

Thanks ladies for the advice, will discuss with hubby again, if really cannot get a CL will have to find alternatives to bathe baby like place the tub on higher place then just that have to see if my MIL can accept that idea. Another question is for those whose MIL or mother helped with previous confinement, we still need to give them a token of appreciation in ang pow right? How much did you gave the last time, if you don't mind sharing.

 

[michelle22]

Jasmine : i heard my friends she give her mil $100 lei... too little right... haha...

my sister she give mil $500 kanna return her mil say too many $$ liao... then end up they buy hamper to her....

 

[daisy_85]

michelle - the pill tat gynae gave u inside the room?

tell the nurse u rly know nothing for ur #1 so u worry now lor , they will reply ur questions de cos they feel ur #2 pregnancy so should know .. just explain n dont be scare

Jasmine - i guess depend on own financial ba , wen i give my mom , mil &amp; relative previously for the help in confinement , they didnt wanna keep it and return back

if own mom maybe can give like $200 - $300 , if mil , can ask hubby pass to her with the same amt , but if fm our hand to her maybe a little bit more like $500 lor ..

 

[snow_4ling]

Hi Zelda.. Hahaha... On wed I just eat 1 kg chilli crab share w my husb.. Hee... But gd thing is shellfish generally lower in mercury.. Compare to fish.. Like shark n swordfish sure cannot eat.. But for shellfish is that we must mk sure they r well cooked.. Not like the laksa clam.. 1/2 cook nia.. Must fresh also..

Hi jasmine, for my family.. Mil dun say lah.. Haha.. But if my mum do confinement for me.. I will pay her same amt I pay CL.. Cz own mother mah.. But if mil.. See how much she wan lor..

Hi Michelle.. Alot of ppl Duno Milo got caffeine coz they nv focus on caffeine content.. Somemore we love Milo so much tt instead of the recommend amt of powder to use, we will use much more(Milo dinosaur??).. So unknowingly we intake
Quite a bit..

[zelda_zard]
