and abt pantangs..i heard a lot... but also have so-called "remedies" if really no choice got to go...
for example, furneral ... if really no choice and got to go, use a red string and tie it round ur waist... this is to protect the bb in our womb... after that, cut away the red string and throw it away once u reach home...
weddings i heard before too...but so far, i seen my friends, SIL.. all attended while pregnant... so far ok leh...
as for drilling and installing of aircon... hmmm... my very own niece story... my SIL aircon broke down when she was in her 3rd tri.... 1 mth before my niece's birth... so she went ahead and change and install aircon... according to her and her mother, as long as she's not around, it's ok.. so they went to change... my niece came out ok luckily...except for... her entire back has got this type of bruise-looking kind of birthmarks... it's in patches... machiam like kena hamtam by something and left all the bruises on her back... so my mother was saying, it could be due to the hacking and drilling while installing the aircon that left the marks on her body... luckily it's quite light in color.. but can still tell it's blue-black looking... my mother was saying.. luckily it's on her back and not on her face...
so i think we better believe in all pantangs than to do something and later on regret... right???

Bird nest
I started to take it for #1 since the start of 2nd trim. I took those ready to be consumed. My #1 skin is very fair and good too
Prior to delivery, I had coconut. When I delivered her, She was very clean and not bloody.

Lol, so many living in Yishun? 
Pantang
Just remember don't let it rule your life. Some are pretty commonsensical. Sewing in bed? The needles most prob will get lost in your bed and poke you at night? Ouch!
I think I must have infringed on all pantang rules in my previous two pregnancies. My children are fine and cute and (in my self obsessed opinion) smart
... Thing is I didnt let those rules ruin my life. If I had known and lived like the beliefs, eg a dragon cannot coexist with a dog then I'll treat my son (born in the year of dog) very differently. But I didn't and my son turned out without those terrible complexes people think we will have as a family
Of course, I'm hugely aware how blessed we are as a family
Yishun gynae
There is a Hii Women's clinic at Yishun Ring Road. A Dr Hii there is pretty good. He's the old school gynae and I like him. His nurse is fantastic. But he is not the coddling kind of gynae lah. Can try him.. He delivers at Mt A and TMC.

Good morning, mommies. Congratulation to all who have tested positive!
Fullhouse, my husband is Japanese. I'm located in Fukui Prefecture which is facing the Japan Sea. I'm not coming back for delivery. But I may consider coming back for OSCAR. On Friday will find out whether the university hospital here offers such test. You will be surprised that such testing is not common with the Japanese. My 1st did not do such test. I was 39 then. Luckily all went well.
Snowhopes, thanks for updating.
I do not have any MS so far. Occasionally bloated stomach and feeling hungry always.
About eating raw fish or eggs or liang stuffs, the Japanese do not have such believe. They just eat anything or everything. My mother-in-law cannot understand why there are so many restrictions in my diet when I was pregnant with my 1st. I think different culture and upbringing have its differences

nlimm, I guess it depends on how much you believe or not. For me, there are certain things that I know and I avoid just to be on the safe side ba... Cot setting up is ok it's more of the placing of the mattress on the cot such that "someone" can lie in it. Haven't heard of the cannot use vaccumm cleaner leh, it's such an impt pc of electrical applicance at home...
Dr Paul Tseng: Me & Canopyhaze are with Dr Paul Tseng. He does not have a package so the consultation, ultrasound and all other tests are ala-carte. Vitamins & fish oils he won't force you to buy so it's up to you to decide if u wanna buy. For him consultation is between $70-100, Ultrasound is $40. My experience with him is as your pregnancy progress, he does not do ultrasound on every appt. He will use his hands to size the baby & position, measure your tummy to see if growing. Personally I find him reassuring and confident. He is also pro-natural (i like), a lot of ang mohs go to see him de. He delivers at Mt A and TMC.
allyfan, I dun think your niece those orh chey are to do with the hacking lah... My gal also got a lot on her backside leh. We din paint nor renovate the house. For funerals, I heard it's not red string but red sash to be tied around the belly. I saw during my hb's granny funeral. one of his cousin was preggy.
jlau, u got try to take a small meal before zzz-ing? it might help you loads so that when u wake up in AM, u dun feel so lousy...

minnieluv,u are in Japan right? Is it true that Japanese dun eat as much raw stuff as Singaporeans do? i.e. as long as u have meals, there will be raw stuff? I feel that in Japan, the fear of bacteria overgrowth in food is lesser due to weather there. And people are accustomed to keeping raw food safe and fresh for consumption. In Singapore, they anyhow hantam. Sometimes, not fresh still dare to serve! My sis n I went to the HL building there to eat sashimi. I eat one mouth I almost want to pui lor - cos the sashimi was so fishy and obviously spoiling liao... *faints*
tres, I think it's ok to go for the funeral, whatmore it's your granny la... I guess for Buddhist/taoist practise, the pregnant mother will put a red sash over the tummy as "protection".

If you are coming backfor Oscar, then it'll be before 12 weeks? Your gynae there ok with flying at first tri? I'm off to London next month, and I want to be sure all is ok before I go... Am squeezing the gynae's slot and managed to get one for this Fri before he leaves for holiday on Sat
Actually I do know oscars' not popular in some ctys.. In fact, I chose my gynae this time round based on one statement he made on his advertisement: we love babies, and we love life. Please do not ask me to perform abortion
I'm quite old too, so I know the risks are there. We won't abort even if the oscars turned out unfavorable. the last thing we need is a pushy gynae who has other beliefs ...
Your #1 is 08? Same as my #2
Ah, you must have the freshest seafood there! Lucky you

Another Jo!!
Search for gynae and make an apptments for 6 weeks, then quick start on folic acid..

ally/josky:: mine was identical twins. means.. it was one zygote split into 2... this, in some medical terms, is considered a malfunctioning of the development of the zygote. cos by right..one zygote develops into one feotus. but in some ways, it did not development properly.. n ended up splitting! the splitting process can happen anytime (i guess)... but the later the splitting.. the more dangerous it is!!! i tink so as i linked to those unfortunate siemese twins..they splitted much later...when most of the organs or watnot formed already.. so cant split properly. hence.. yes. ): identical twins r said to be not genatic de..means it doesnt run in the family or wat.
(plus.. i personally feel that hvg twins.. doesnt run in the husband family... if the lady is preggy with fratenal twins...she has the genes to produce more eggs at a time.) but alot of ppl say the hb side hv twins blah blah.. i dun really see the link. but i may be wrong!
