Actually Larissa, at first I was very interested in placenta encapsulation because I noticed in the natural animal world, Animal mummies eat up their own placenta after giving birth so i thought "it must be good for them to regain strength after delivery!"
But as I did my research, it seems like it is not supported in the medical field. Maybe u check with ur gynae to see if he/she has done any research on it herself & update us on what he/she said?

I got my hubby and a good friend who want to eat my placenta, so I can just give it to them and let it be. Whether I can eat it myself (in capsule form), I can check with my gynae later today.

huh? blck of 12hrs ?? i tot it is block of 2hrs leh ..

anyway my way of monitoring is ..squirming also count :p and i will choose night time to count cos more active at night when laying on bed
Click to expand...

no la... NUH say sometimes not possible for mum to keep monitoring so 12 hrs is good enough.. actually I count from her 1st to last move is usually in less than 2 hrs.
ya squirming also count, but squirm finish 1 round = 1 count... haha

I ate alot leh..... y like this? I feel so lousy....

Mummies....beside DHA n calcium pills... do i need any other vits....
Click to expand...

How your gynae measured weight and so precise to say lost 42gm?
My gynae always say weight is estimation and it can be +/-200gm...
But if mentioned everything is fine then dun think too much and just eat and sleep well and keep hydrated.
 
Babyaddict said:
Nvr leh... My gynae nvr said anything abt my weight juz bey song w my bb weight. But did tell me don't worry and send me down to do one hour CTG.

Baby weight is measured using the circumference of his tummy. Guess the gynae just take the weight this time to subtract against weight previous visit to get 42g??

Like you said, it is an estimate and not the actual weight.

Yup, that is how my gynae measured too so i was thinking if there are other methods.
There could be also measurement error factor as in when the circumference is selected...
 
Gynae nvr said edd push back... Is the scan photo tat I saw the edd date chg to 2feb. Gynae juz said don't hv to worry since CTG everything ok.

Ya... I took previous weight minus ytd weight to get tat 42gm difference :)

Paiseh.... I FTM so a bit goondu goondu... Haha...

PTB7674 said:
btw i have google there are so many receipe for red date drink...

which one do you all use ? and why ?
Click to expand...

I do the most simplest one.. Just red date, dried longan and wolfberries, don't even need to boil, just throw into thermal flask and add hot water. My MIL say add the long long dunno issit "dangsheng" I very scare of the word 参 coz my body don't accept it very well and I can get hyper just by drinking 泡参. haha
Got 1 free pack of red date tea ingredient from the confinement soup stall that I brought, their's have 3 more ingredients inside.

Right now I just want to be as comfy as possible. I stop wearing my maternity work pants because the elastic keep biting into my under bump, very uncomfy....

Think I still have enough maternity clothes to last me till delivery, but some of the non-maternity ones are getting a bit tight, so hope my tummy doesn't grow too much between now and delivery.....

I've got a question about breast pump and flanges. I am going to buy my pump and realised that the supplied flanges only come in 25mm and 28mm and I know from measuring my nipple that I should be looking at maybe a 21mm flange. However, during breastfeeding, is there a possibility that the nipple will swell or grow bigger?? I'm not sure if I should just go with a smaller flange straightaway or wait and see if the supplied 25mm flange will work for me???

I am getting a Spectra M1, btw....

I use the one from pregnant sg site.

Red date
Black date
Longan
Bei qi
Dang sheng
Wolfberries

That's the most common recipe.

But only the quantity I adjust a bit. Coz that day forgot bring the list I wan to buy to 龙马so I juz based on what the auntie recommend to me for quantity.

The auntie also recommend these herbs....

She say main impt is red date. So red date muz be more.

She recommend these
Red 4kg
Black 1kg
Longan 2kg
Beiqi 500g
Dang sheng 1kg
Wolf berries 1kg

These quantity is lesser than what is listed in the pregnant sg website.
