missy: According to Chinese beliefs, pregnant women must avoid everything that is cold cos it is "liang" and no good. But I also eat sneakily a few times cos got craving 
i think macdonald ice cream or soft serve ice cream contains unpasteurised milk.

Hard-serve ice cream, yoghurt and hard cheeses like parmesan and cheddar, which have been made from pasteurised milk are safe for consumption.

Peanuts
Eih compared to other nuts, peanuts are highly likely to grow fungal/bacteria during storage (after harvest and before shipping). These are carcinogenic and also bad for liver. Nuts are good, but peanuts in moderation lah, esp stuff cooked in peanut oil. Anyway, this comes fron public health advisory so your gynaes might not be aware.
Changes in ms
Iyo I used to have nausea from noon to dinner time, now no longer so. It's after dinner nausea!! Yikes!!

Rest well gal. Everything is going to work out great now! 终于雨过天晴了！
Dairy products
I think shouldn't avoid else calcium deficiency leh. Any products you have been taking to fine all along should be ok. Just avoid new unknown food. I think the concern is really food poisoning (that hawker food is more likely to cause it), and bacterial poisoning (even pasteurized milk stored badly will cause it). Just buy from reliable source and say your grace everytime you eat :S

Been not posting for a while..
Missy: my gynae told me that for peanut and honey, there are some studies that shown can cause allergy to some bb when they are born. So better not take or just take less.
Yogurt : doc said it is good as calcium alternative if dun take milk. Not sure about ice-cream, but I will still take in moderation as the weather is so hot!
In my opinion, some Liang things can take once a while lah, we mummies cannot b deprived. Sometime, it mayb bb craving not us..

CLs: I think CLs are not only taken due to the "dragon year" but also the fact that most of our confinement period borders/crosses the CNY period and some CLs rather take a break...
purple_rain, it's ur first right? Usually it wont show so quickly. Mine is 2nd, due to the bloatness (which is slowly lessening), my tummy can be seen quite clearly... :/
OSCAR: Went for oscar yesterday at TMC. Mine was appt and it went pretty quick and smoothly. Baby was not exactly in the correct position but did shift aft the sonographer giggled my tummy... ;p Can see the fingers and toes already. Should be getting the results in the next few days. Gynae nurse says they will give me the results before my next appt with Dr Tseng 3 wks later...
Canopy, rest well! Dr Tseng is on leave le... i was looking at the doc who is covering him during absense. It is Dr Benjamin Tham! haha
