Worried79,
I think most gynae will ask us to monitor the baby kicks. Must have more than 10 kicks a day.
Maybe I should wait for another week.
Yesterday bb was very cute. She staying one side of my tummy protuding out at right side and it was very hard. I quickly touch there and ask hubby to touch her and say hello. Might be the head poking me. Haha
2ks,
I think u still early for monitoring lah. U one week later than me. Not fats lah

At certain part of day I also feel that something heavy at the tummy and pelvis. I also feel intermittent sharp pain at the lower abdominal . Hope all is normal .
Kicks : I haven't feel any kicks yet , maybe it is my first and I am only 18 weeks .
Breathing: sometime I feel short breath in the evening especially after meal .

Good morning Mummies~~ =)
Cutting hair
Thanks for your comments ladies, yea if dun trim the hair for too long seems very untidy and 'gao wek'.
Baby Chinese Name
If want to engage someone (like You Long Zi) to pick names, must wait until bb come out first so can calculate the Ba Zi issit?
But personally I don't like fortune telling kind which will affect our mind and beliefs, I believe we can conquer fate. I'm not very sure if there's a certain truth like Feng Shui though.
Baby Movements
Roughly when can we feel baby moving huh? I'm in week 16, can't feel anything yet...

Vi: dangshen can take but dang gui is a no no..
even the hua qi shen also can take..although its heaty based but its good too.
tsm: ppl said drink coconut is so that bb will come out clean. usually ppl drink last few weeks before edd.
chiro: yes...must wait till baby come out. cos must see the lunar bd and the time i think so.
i also go to you long zi.. cos also he is my FIL long time friend.
i actually listens only la..to what he said. but sometimes those stuff he asked me to avoid i really does.
previously for #1 case, he said he is to avoid water till 3 yrs old. i refused to listen cos tot not so pantang mah...
and really leh...he was sick everytime after he goes swimming...thus i rather believe abit.
but i am more into the chinese name. i think names is important. so i rather get a matching name instead

Re: danshen
If u go to any medical hall and ask , herbs which are 活血 are not suitable for pregnant women. Danshen has blood thinning qualities as it is used to improve blood flow. This quality of danshen increases risk of miscarriage n bleeding. More info can be found here and various sources on the net as well. When in doubt consult ur gynae also.

Hi Ladies,
Just returned from lunch, food from cafeteria not appetising at all. Very sleepy now.
Liver:
Although I dun eat it, I remembered I attended a pregnancy talk and the nutritionist say a take a bit once a week. Liver can help to give iron and build red blood cells. If not red meat like beef is oso a gd source.
Rice wine:
I oso looking for rice wine, my CL said I finished all the rice wine in my previous confinement! Used to get from my auntie’s friend but she not making anymore.
Baby kicks:
My gynae only ask me to monitor kicks sometime in 3rd tri. i.e 10 kicks a day…. So early can monitor liao? I think 1st time mums won’t feel kicks so soon,when I preg with #1 I only felt at wk 20, this time wk 16 can feel liao.
Chinese supplement:
I resumed drinking my fav chicken essence! I stopped during my 1st trimester bcos no point taking when I keep puking. Now puking less frequent so I take once a week. I oso hav a box of birdnest from my MIL, haven’t open and cook yet.
It gd to take dangshen, heard that it promotes breastmilk. I seen my preggy colleagues taking in office before. However danggui, is a anticoagulant which mean it will unclog the blood, which I think its not a gd idea to take during pregnancy.

iko0508: rice wine usually ppl used it for cooking lor. instead adding water, some CL used that. DOM is considered tonic. not for daily drinking i supposed so.

benefits of dangshen
Properties: The herb is sweet in flavour, neutral in nature, and acts on the lung and spleen channels. Being sweet, neutral, noist, not dry, not greasy and mild in potency, it can not only invigorate spleen-qi but also nourish blood and promote the production of the body fluid. with its effects similar to but weaker than those of ginseng, dangshen can be used to replace ginseng but the dosage of dangshen should be doubled as much as that of ginseng wherever ginseng is used except for emergency treatment of collapse. Therefore, dangshen is often used to treat deficiency of spleen-qi and lung-qi and deficiency of body fluid and blood.
Effects: Reinforcing the spleen, tonifying the lung, nourishing blood and promoting the production of the body fluid.
Indications:
1. For deficiency of lung-qi, lingering cough and asthma of deficiency type, deficiency of the lung and kidney, failure of the kidney in holding air, short breath and asthma, dangshen is often used in combination with astragalus root, schisandra fruit, gecko, walnut kernel and other remedies for tonifying the lung and kidney and improving breath to relieve asthma.
2. For deficiency of the spleen and stomach, anorexia, loose stool, emeciation and lassitude, or sinking of Qi in middle-jiao, lingering diarrhea and proctoptosis, dangshen isoften used in combination with white atractylodes rhizome, astragalus root, bupleurum root, cimicifuga rhizome and other herbs for invigorating Qi and Yang.
3. For injury of Qi and Yin by heat, perspiration, lassitude, vexation and thirst, dangshen can be used in combination with ophiopogon root, schisandra fruit, reed rhizome and other herbs for nourishing Yin and promoting the generation of the body fluid.
4. For paleness due to deficiency of blood, or deficiency of Qi and blood, dangshen is often used in combination with Chinese angelica root, prepared rehmannia root, longan aril and other herbs for invigorating Qi and blood.

hi all
haiz.. it's a long story...
anyway, i realised that the copycat in my company just got preggie as well... I'm kinda glad for her cos she's over 35 but on the other hand, i wished that she has gotten preggie later...
She's a copycat cos basically she tends to follow what other female colleagues does... it's like if you go TW for holiday, she will plan a trip to TW... if you have a new bag, she will have a new bag from her hubby... if you get engaged, she will get engaged... when you announce that you are getting married, she will get married... quite irritating

when i went italy for my honeymoon, she went the following week when i'm back at work and told everyone that she's going milan with her hubby... when my colleague got a new car, she went to get a car which is a higher model
so it's really kinda irritating... I keep telling myself that imitation is the highest form of flattery but it's really quite irritating to have such a colleague

2Ks,
I got 12 bottles initially, den finished halfway. Bought somemore from auntie’s friend, dun remember bought how many more. Think at most 6 more.
Iko,
I drink the bottle kind chicken essence, any brand is ok for me….. hee….
Feel like drinking it now, but I tell myself to drink only once a week. Just drank yesterday only…. Dunno can drink everyday or not. Worried too heaty.
DOM:
I find food cook using DOM sweet. My CL even tried to double boiled it, it taste super sweet and yucky to me. I told her not to brew that for me anymore. Many people bought DOM for my last confinement and I can’t even finish 1 bottle! I still have many lying in my cupboard dunno what to do with them. Gave a few to my friends during their confinement and still got left over. I think I will expect more to come this time round. I think I can open shop and sell them cheap cheap! Give me chicken essence I can drink all.
Sleep:
Hate waking up to go toilet. But no choice, if not I will feel pain in my bladder area and I afraid I will get going toilet dreams. And many times after I wake up to go toilet, I had hard time falling back to sleep. So angry!
