sarah>> heard from gynae coke has cafferine, not good for BB!!
better but down on soft drink if can cos high sugar content...

 

[twins_happiness]

I wonder if 100Plus helps for those mummies who crave for gassy drinks?

I remember those days when I have headache, after drinking a can, headache not as bad as before. Last time, I also run quite often, having a can of 100Plus also helps to prevent my leg cramps.

chomp : Carice is not my real name ... that why you cant add me .... it ok you go add michelle ... i add you from there ....

sarah : if you like me who love to drink coke ... you can limit yourself like 1-2 can per week ... i already change to root beer and 7-up or other fruit juice

Welcome SarahK

How come your MS come so late? I'm so glad my ms is gone! If the pills are making u sick, u can try those milk powder for mummies. Coke is my fave! I dun care... will drink it every wkend. When I had #1, I can't drink coke as I will puke. Luckily this round ok. For my this pregnancy, I love to eat things which I don't usually eat ie snacking on chocolates & chips. Coke, chocolate & chips... super fattening! Talking about coke, will go & buy coke when my meeting ends... have headache the whole afternoon!

JuniorMe: No worries, you'll definitely lose the weight if you b'feed diligently like Michelle

She managed to lose 46kg so nothing is impossible. For me I'm 5kg fatter than b4 preggy... that's bcoz i b'feed for 7mths only. Hee...

star_nn: Me too... can't drink tea with milk or even tea O. Will feel sick. So now my only caffine drink is coke ;p I drink cold water everyday... even cold milk. My mom has given up nagging on me as when I had #1, I also did this.

 

[starr_nn]

coke is nice! think little bit ok la, once a week, i will share a can w hubby, i take lesser la..if not feel guilty after that lol

how much weight have u all gained so far? i hardly gained any weight leh, only abt 2kg maybe...but tummy round round, just that not much weight gain..

 

[huijun]

Sarah, u can take Perrier as its gassy n not sweet.

 

[juniorme]

starr_nn>> i gained about 2 kg from week 6 till now week 16 at most nw, my limps are the same but my tummy also round round...i weight myself at least once a day... but i also dont wish to gain too much weight nw, i heard in weeks to come, when BB gets bigger, our intake will naturally BIGGER... hee...
yes time is indeed slow for me... alone in this room which the equipment noises... irrtating at times...

twin_happiness>> yes, i think 100 plus is fine accordingly to my gynae... during week 6/7, i feel full and want something to help me burp out so go for 100 plus... I gotten to watch out my sugar intake as my gyane warned me at the start, so i dont take too much soft drink... but i have ribbena daily, add a little to my water so it got some taste for me...

 

[leenleen]

Wenwen: Thanks for your advise, will discuss with my gynae on the next step.

starr_nn: I hardly gained any weight too. My weight before pregnancy is like 56kg. Now into my 13 weeks, i'm like only 56.9kg. The only thing that is different is my tummy which is rounder...

 

[mama_ya]

then in the end i hv watery stools for 2 days. i am a tea-person. but for 4 mths never drink tea. kinda sian ... :'(

 

[sarahloveu]

Perrier nice meh? like gasy but no taste leh..100plus can ah? anyway i will stop my coke..infact the most frm my start of preg i didnt really drink that much of coke..just read some articles is fine to take but intake must control. But i will stop taking..mayb rootbeer without caffine can ba..keke..i had bubble tea like passionfruit greentea 20% sugar level once a wk..my gynae told me i can drink up to 3 glass of tea per day but of coz i nv..i will feel gulity if one day i drink alot these type of drinks except water.

 

[mama_ya]

leenleen,
lucky for you, you gained. but for me, everytime sees gynae visit, always lost weight

end of this mth gng for gynae visit again, hopefullie got a bit of gaining weight ...

 

[sarahloveu]

star_nn: so far i nv gain weight..was 44kg b4 preg and nw still abt the same..someday i even lighter..but my tummy is round and my bb is growing..i think shldnt b a problem..my gynae said somebody gain weight frm 16wks onwards..

 

[starr_nn]

okok thanks all, i also dont want to become too fat, if not its gonne be hard to shed off the fats next year! i was 49 kg b4 pregnancy, now fluctuating in the 51 decimal range
my mum kept nagging that i got to eat more, if not bb will b skinny etc

 

[sarahloveu]

oh ya..just to check..anyone stop eating seafood? i still eat prawn.i tink shldb b a problem right? i love cockles in laksa but ever since i preg..i nv take liao..i see my hub eat..i drooling...do u tink i can eat cockles if is fully cook? im gg to eat steamboat later for dnr..just wonder if i can eat or not? my gynae said can woh but usually gynae always say anything aso can eat as long watch out the intake.

 

[starr_nn]

sarah, i think can eat, just have to make sure its fully cooked, but limit intake also

same for seafood, can eat but limit intake

 

[leenleen]

chomp_chomp: wow.. is it due to you not having a good appetite? I have good appetite during the day but in the evening, i simply can't take in much food.

Sarah: I LOVE LOVE LOVE my coke and my teh-o. I did a double-take when i heard the gynae saying to cut down on the caffine. I think after seeing my facial expression, he gave me the green light to have one cup of teh-o a day. Which i increase it on my own accord to 2 cups a day. As for my coke cravings - i replaced it with 7-up isotonic drink or 100 plus...

 

[sarahloveu]

star_nn: so tonight i can eat cockles ah? hehe..i make sure is fully cook...hehe

Leenleen: u mean 2 cups a day of teh-o ah? can ah? i only sip sip my hub teh-o ice once awhile..i cant reali take hot drinks..except peppertea at night to ease my tummy...
if 100 plus can..then i will start to drink liao..today i took a can of rootbeer alrdy..wonder tonight can i have another soft drink or not?

 

[mama_ya]

leenleen, i have no problems eating... since now is festive season, almost all houses got good foods. so i just gobble up. but then cannot too much, later heartburn hehe. but dun know why, my weight keeps dropping. pregnant is 53 kgs. now i am 50kgs. but gynae assures me, as long as baby inside growing, its ok. my colleagues says, all my food passed to baby, tats why i didnt gained weight.

sarah, i still take prawns. but gynae says no sushi / raw stuffs. must thoroughly cooked.

 

[betc]

sarah, i have been eating laksa 4 days straight...coz dunno y i crave for laksa everyday...n i still eat the cockles but don't seem to like it as much now

 

[starr_nn]

sarah, from baby center website

Oysters, cockles (siham in Cantonese), lala and other shellfish should be avoided during pregnancy, unless they are part of a hot meal and have been thoroughly cooked. This is because, when they are raw or half-cooked, these types of seafood might be contaminated with harmful bacteria and viruses that can cause food poisoning. Pregnant women are particularly susceptible to food poisoning because pregnancy suppresses their immune systems. The bacteria and viruses are usually killed by proper cooking making these shellfish safe to eat.

 

[betc]

i was told by gynae that avoid raw food...so when i eat sushi i choose those cooked ones only

 

[gg_lee]

Sarah, if u can control, I think better to avoid cockles, as they are not very 'clean' I feel. Even normal times if suay can kena diarhoea/food poisoning. I mean sometimes this kind of thing better safe than sorry. I stopped eating since preggy though sometimes i see fried kway teow v tempting but my hubby end up ask uncle fry only with fishcake no cockles..

 

[sarahloveu]

bc: i really miss laksa but if ask me eat without the cockles i rather dun eat..i aso not sure if i ask the aunty fully cook my cockles will she do it or not? if steamboat mayb i still can make sure is fully cook coz done by me..hehe. ever since im preg..i love spicy food too! read somewhere spicy food causes heartburn but if ask me dun eat..i will feel very sianzz

 

[starr_nn]

GG, i also want to eat fried kway teow, yum yum, but i worried will vomit leh, although now in tri2, not that susceptible to feeling nauseous and vomit..
when i was having m/s, i will puke whenever i eat kway teow, so now i have a phobia towards kway teow haha

 

[betc]

during 1st month i totally cannot take spicy food..but after that i crave for spicy food every single day...except for curry...i guess its the milk in curry that i can't take...but laksa i can take...so weird...lol...

 

[starr_nn]

i like spicy food too, but eat too spicy, will run to the toilet few hours later lol

 

[kayemoss]

My gynae told me that I can eat anything but cannot anyhow take Chinese herbs.

So I eat everything, sashimi, cockles, seafood etc etc. But I realized tt I got rashes whenever I ate seafood or things tt dun agree. I will stop eating!

Coke is my fave drink so I will just share it w my hubby!!!

 

[sarahloveu]

GG Lee: really ah? ok loh...then i better dun tink abt it. keke
im not a raw food person so sushi or sashimi i can dont eat at all..but i starts to crave for fries at night...seems all the food i like is not so healthy...im really tired of eating kiwi and drink milk or other fruit...the only fruit i wan to eat nw is watermelon which i knw i cant..zzz

 

[betc]

this morning i ate soon queh...the chilli was so spicy that i went to the toilet halfway but came back n continue eating...just couldn't stop...lol...

 

[betc]

i only know watermelon, pineapple, radish (in fried carrot cake) n kang kong cannot eat

 

[sarahloveu]

k@ye: same here..my gynae told me i can eat anything even sashimi but of coz i dun like so i nv take..
how abt steak ? isit a must we must eat fully done steak? my gf is preg too and i watched her eat peperlunch with the steak like not fully cook..but i dare not so i kwai kwai eat my plain meehoon soup.

 

[starr_nn]

bc, why cannot eat radish and kang kong? liang?

 

[betc]

radish n kang kong is too cooling..

 

[sarahloveu]

radish isit "cai poh"? oh i ate it when i was in taipei early this month..very yummy so i cant stop eating..i guess i ate abt 3 bowl of noodles and they spreaded with cai poh..keke
i dont take veg at all since i was young til nw..so i have to take fruit to compensate it..but always the same kiwi, apple, strawberry..kinda scary to me now..

 

[tethysea]

<font color="000080">GG Lee >> Alamak, now you mentioned fried kuay teow I also feel like eating... LOL. But I better not, cos I know I will regret once I eat - oily food makes me puke

bc >> I actually don't take spicy food AT ALL. But this pregnancy sometimes will crave for curry. Weird. Dragon baby need to breathe fire? LOL</font>

 

[betc]

radish is bai luo bo (aka white carrot)

 

[sarahloveu]

bc: oh isit? like those soup they put bai luo bo ah? my mum still cook for me drink leh..

 

[betc]

not yr soup la...i mean in fried carrot cake

 

[sarahloveu]

but if cook in soup form can drink ah? fried carrot cake cant eat...wow i used to like it with black sauce...lucky i nv tot of eating that

 

[betc]

not sure in soup form can take or not...i think cannot wor...no matter how u cook it, it's still radish

 

[leenleen]

Sarah: The gynae will advise to cut down. But i have read that we (pregnant ladies)should not take in more than 200mg of caffine. Tea is about 55mg of caffine per serving. So i conclude should be safe to take 2 cups, but of course will be safer to double confirm with your gynae. As for 100 plus, its caffine free, but do monitor the amount of consumption. I reckon a bottle a day should still be fine. =)

chomp_chomp: my colleagues has mentioned the same, all the food goes to the little one. Hence the reason why they are stuffing me with food. Can you imagine i have as many as 3 breakfasts in a day. Hahahaha. I think its a conspiracy by them to make me put on weight and tell my future kid that they play a part in feeding him or her.

 

[betc]

there's 1 food that i super craved for during pregnancy...that is penang laksa...so hate that feeling that i want to eat but cannot eat...

 

[faith_jo]

Sarah: fully cooked cockles can eat a few pieces lor, if not keep craving v sianz leh. i craved for it too, took 2 pieces and that horrid crave feeling simply went off hahaa
but rice craving everyday! good solid breads also can... carbo carbo carbo... i used to eat 1/4 bowl of rice, now whole bowl faint...

 

[faith_jo]

bc: why penang laksa can't eat?

 

[sarahloveu]

bc: i guess to...then better ask my mum stop cooking that for me.
i miss the days i can eat really alot...but recently due to ms..i cut down alot le..usually i can eat a bowl of noodles with side dish follow by dessert.

 

[betc]

jo, good for u...im the total opposite...i cannot eat rice at all..i haven't eat rice for a super long time...i think i cannot digest the rice...but sushi rice ok for me leh...

 

[twins_happiness]

bc: Can you confirm if chye poh cannot eat ar? Tomorrow morning my colleague will tabao Chwee Kueh for me leh. It's been a long time since I eat that. I've been eating bread and chee cheong fan for breakfast... So sad...

 

[betc]

penang laksa is full of pineapple n the prawn paste leh...cannot eat la

 

[sarahloveu]

Jo: i still can eat a whole bowl of rice..infact i can eat 2nd bowl but i nv coz later sure puke...im learning small bites more meals..but quite difficult..i see my hub eat so yummy i really jealous.
