Are any of you ladies taking any chinese tonics now? I wonder what is suitable for 1st trimester, because I think my nutrition from food alone is probably not enough. My husband bought bird's nest, but don't know if I can take chicken's essence or other stuff.
 


Kong kong, I've had nausea since I conceived, already starting puking last week.

Catherine: what I understand from my mil we cannot eat any tonic until second trimester. Right now the beanie in our womb are developing all the organs and the only proven vitamin we require is folic acid!! Maybe you can check with others on having tonic to pu. And bird best can drink in moderation only cos children will easily get asthma next time??
 
kong kong, i was only 4wks+ last wk and can only see the water bag. My next appt will be 2 wks frm now.

Catherine, my MIL broil me black chix wif ginseng soup last wk and bird nest the wk before, She say gd for baby and ok to drink. I'm not quite sure oso cos there are ppl say ginseng is not tat gd.
 
my mum is doubleboiling just black chicken / lean meat with red dates and wolfberries for me to drink. She doesn't add other herbs.. i think this is good.
 
JLJ, i heard that black chix will boost bb size too. That time my fren's gynae commented that her girl very small size, then she went to eat alot of durain and black chix and soon he girl grew to the average size.
 
I paid $1950 in total. GPLS collected $600 from us as deposit. The rest we gave it to the auntie after the confinement was done.

I don't know if their rate has gone up this year. we won't be able to book the auntie. Cos she might be working elsewhere. So is really by luck, i guess if can get back the same auntie.

Auntie's name... i need to go back and check my notebook
 
sun_tan, yes, durian is the proven mass-gainer for babies =)

SnOwing, i have asked my TCM, she says can drink but becoz it's cooling so dun drink too much. If body is too heaty, can drink some.
 
SnoWing,
i was trying my luck when I asked her if we can drink those instant chcrysanthemum tea,
she says they are actually the same =(

haha..so just drink occasionally.
 
Kidomum: Oh packet ones also same! I always thot packet ones are flavourings only! My gynae say dun drink too much red date drinks too. I got one whole packet of instant red date drink at home!
 
Just had a bad diahhorrea

Feel life sucks . Everything is x. Appetite sucks more!! To eat bt no taste. Don't eat, feel hungry..

Abit regretting having to go through this long journey..

Sighhh
 
Kong kong: Jia you! I also no appetite and hungry too. Worse gastric problem worsen. Guess it will be all worth it when we see the little one? I hope so hahaha!
 
kong kong, just few more weeks and you will be fine le. There are more to come at the later stage of 3rd trimester and child birth and first month. So take it easy. We must be strong!

San2,
I had spotting in my 1st pregnancy, gynae gave me a jab ang prescribed hormone pills with 3 days bed rest, pls ask your gynae whether u need a jab.

Touchwood...my friend lost her bb in 1st tri, she had spotting but gynae in kkh never do anything and didnt advise her for bed rest, sigh
 
Yes he did ask me to take double dose of my progestrone n see if it stopped. He tell me to call him again if still have more spotting.

Now he ask me just stay at bed until tmr
 
Hi all

Went to mom place for dinner
Had chili fish n find it yummy. Had magnolia coco milk too

Felt like having a slip of cold coke to burp out n feel refresh but bought a ice cream soda instead.

Heck care, gg to mekben crab this weekend

Still felt abit tired..

Hope u ladies Hv a nice dinner
 
San2, I had the discharge too. Went to gynae, and did a scan to be sure... Everything is normal, BB has grown 0.23cm in 4 days, which was awesome. Got a hormone jab (optional) and hormone pills (Urogestan) to be taken at night, and they make me really drowsy. Which is good, coz I make use of the period of drowsiness to take my dreaded calcium pills.

I do notice my EDD being pushed back by 1 - 2 days everytime I scan. ALthough the gynae says the growth is good, I wonder if it's slower than average that's why EDD is delayed.
 
Oh, puked again on empty stomach when I got home. This time it was whitish / yellowish liquid, I guess is gastric juice. Super hungry but still can puke. Gobbled up a whole portion of kway chap, then klkk at home, hopefully to aid digestion. Now almost going to Zzz.
 
Kong kong - don't take too much spicy food. I'm also trying to cut down cause everything I take spicy food now, I sure LS. Have to kiss goodbye to my fave spicy food for now :/
 
Kong kong, I had melben crabs with my colleagues 2 weeks ago too! Crabs have low mercury content, and are supposedly safe as long as they are fully cooked. Enjoy yourself!

Oh btw, I think I will make use of Old Navy 20% discount (all items) and ASOS 10% discount (on 70% sale items, and order some maternity wear by 28 April. I will ship via VPost for OldNavy, and direct for ASOS, and won't charge any admin fee (since we all benefit from sharing the shipping fee), but for ladies staying outside of the west and/or are not able to self collect (I stay beside Clementi MRT), you will have to pay additional for SingPost postage of your items. Let me know by Friday if anyone is keen to get anything. Perhaps drop me an PM with your email address / items you want, in case I miss your message

I'm a Buddhist, just now I pray and hope that bb is safe but it turn out to be those head side for both coins, felt very sad abt it..

Told mom and she ask me not to worry unnecessary.. Just hope my 1st appt comes fast
 
Mummies: pls help mi cos I'm blur....

How to tell its those normal daily brown discharge or brown spotting.?

Which of your gynae accepts walk in scan?

My 1st appt is Wednesday .. Super long wait,,,
 
If Clementi is not too far for you, my gynae is ok with walk-in, just give them a call to make sure he's available.

Dr. Ben Choey
SBCC Women's Clinic
Blk 443 Clementi Ave 3 #01-53
6774 1654

First consultation may be a bit more pricey. But he was very kind and did not charge me for consultation when he checked for my discharge. Even my scan was free that day. Only paid for the hormone pills.
