I also drink a lot... cold milk, cold fruit juice, gassy drinks occasionally. I even suck ice cubes a few times. Really too hot, like a walking furnace. My mum & mil tell me dun take cold drinks cos bb will be weak... but personally think everything in moderation should be fine.

Ya nor.. I think dun pantang too much... If not bb abit abit jiu cAnnot alrdy.. Best is just follow our taste buds.. As long take in moderation and it don't affect bb.. Then should be ok.. Lol. U always tell bb don't pantang...
 
I heard can't drink green tea as it also contains caffeine. I discovered that Korean barley tea has no caffeine so I have been drinking that. It is not a herb since barley is a grain so should be pregnancy safe.

Another tea I have been drinking is peppermint tea.

Quite amazingly I didn't really miss coffee.

Barley had been known not to take at all during pregnancy leh.. All my elderly says so. My tcm also like that say.. Green tea also avoid... I only drink lemon tea once in a while..

But I think everyone's body react differently.. :)
 
If I didn't recall wrongly, dr zou said we should not take solely dang gui soup. Some soup with 1-2 slices of dang gui is okay to consume as it's good for blood and not take in 1st trim. Too much of it is not good.
But I don't really dare to consume since there's fibroid and not sure if that would feed it with more nutrients and grow too big.

Thanks! I got conflicting opinions on dang gui... one side says cannot, one side says it's good... it's chicken soup with a bit dang gui, red dates, wolfberries, dried longans & dang shen.

Oh but Korean barley is not the pearl barley water we commonly see. It's known as 大麦茶 not 薏米水。

Any mummies here have eczema and how do U deal with it? So u still apply the steroid cream?
Click to expand...
I used to have eczema, so the specialists told me to buy cetaphil to apply. shd be safe for pregnancy, coz its no fragrance etc. im using them now also. not sure if it contains steroids. I rem I applied steroids then this moisturizer. its really very good.

but I got the one from hospital, its for ultra dry skin. u can try. those watsons type is for dry skin only.
 
Wah the clinic assistant at Prof Ananda clinic really know how to make me kancheong. Initially I thought since my Oscar results are low risk I won't need to go for the 15th week scan with Prof Ananda even though I had made a tentative appointment. Now after talking to them I decided to go. The words they use are "You never know right... better be safe". I will be going for the scan this Friday....:D

On the contrary the clinic assistant told me why I want a genetic scan when my bb NT measurement is good. I told them better be safe than sorry lol
 
Hi mapleleafy did you visit SSR clinic at 14 - 15 weeks and you going for the 21 week scan at SSR clinic as well? They told me it's called the gold scan.

Ok. I try. The affected part is only on the left elbow area. Sometime scratch until bleed ah. So I think very jialet Liao. Haiz

Eva, steroid creams are not pregnancy safe. Better to use preventive measures like bathe using a non-drying gel (Cetaphil, QV, Physiogel are safe and they are good enough) and keep yourself well moisturised. Kind of hard to imagine that it is a lack of moisture in humid SH that will cause flares, but applying these do help. For my no 1, my eczema hit me hard in my second tri.

usually how long is the scan? i'm scheduled to see Prof Ananda next Friday, but I only have 2 hours off, unable to take leave since my colleague already took leave.

Yep I saw him at 14w+, next will be detailed scan at 21w+. Haha why called gold scan? Now I'm wondering if Dr Ananda is accurate for gender cos I'm itching to buy bb clothes! Maybe you can tactfully ask on Friday how confirm is Dr Ananda? lol

2 hours will be enough depending on how long you need to travel from office to Camden. The scan is about 30 min.

Ya I will ask for sure although I don't plan to shop for bb stuff until end of trimester 2. Planning to buy stuff online as well and request from friends on hand me downs. Hope all goes well as I have taken two business trips since Week 11.

So are you pink team or blue team? ;)

Oh and do you know how much is the week 21 scan? Will you also go for the Thomson detailed Week 20 scan?
