I had that once or twice in the first trimester. Have you checked with your gynae? My gynae said it might be due to how our body reacts to the pregnancy hormones. However, if yours happens frequently, it would be best to check.

I never take the bottled chicken essence.. I make my own with kampong chicken once a week. Birds nests abit too expensive to keep taking regularly but when I buy I prefer to get those without other additional stuff like American ginseng coz my gynae never confirm with Chinese herbs can take which needs to avoid so to be safe I never take any totally..

ya, has been doing stretching daily. just had a cramp last night again.Take care @babybabydust. Try to do some massage before slp or something? see if it is better.
i am a bit lactose intolerance. thus i am taking yogurt instead of milk. also watching out for sugar level@babybabydust think leg cramps is associated with insufficient calcium.. try to boost your calcium intake see if it helps

For my first pregnancy , my swelling of hands and feet occurred after 30 weeks .. Due to water retention. I'm currently at 18 weeks, so far Okie. Maybe can consult your Gyne if the swelling is quite bad.Any one experience swelling of legs around 20 weeks ?
Maybe I'll try the bottled bird's nest from eu Yan Sang too. Will check to make sure not too sweet tooI take the bottled chicken essence and also birds nest. My Gynae said ok to take. But don't take stuffs with ginseng in it as it's not good for pregnant women. I went to Eun Yan seng to buy some prenatal packaged soup and the sales assistant also confirmed that ginseng can't be taken.hope this helps. I try and take bottled birds nest twice a week.
Any idea what is the purpose of chicken essence in pregnancy ? Anybody know how to boil chicken essence using chicken ? My Fren said to boil by myself but I don't know how to .. Maybe I try to google tooI ve been takin chicken essence from 1st trim till now... sometime 3 4x a week.. not exactly regular as some weeks i nvr drink. I jus started my 1st birdnest- bottled n dry in my wk 17. Goin to continue as weekly once affair. Heard can help with mummy's complexion as well... not too sure. Though google says birdnest has no scientific bemefits for pregnancy

Hehe ya you can go check it out but don't have it too often as I heard it's not too good for the baby. Everything in moderation.Maybe I'll try the bottled bird's nest from eu Yan Sang too. Will check to make sure not too sweet too![]()
Oh, it is not too good for baby ah? Then maybe don't take liao .. I think jus eat healthy n take gyne's prescribed pills should be good enough baHehe ya you can go check it out but don't have it too often as I heard it's not too good for the baby. Everything in moderation.you can buy the prenatal packaged soup from there as well and cook it yourself at home.

Hello bellebaby, i follow instructions from this link. Think I got it from may 2015 mommies forum.. Usually I will go to those Supermarket that has the chopping service, and ask them to help me chop the chicken into half and then into small pieces. I'll use half a chicken to yield one bowl (chinese rice bowl) of chicken essence and keep the other half frozen for next week. I also blanche the chicken in boiling water first and drain the water to remove any blood before I put it to steam.

No problem! Oh ya the other thing I do is I will put in fridge overnight then skim the jellied fats layer before reheating it for consumption.. Else ask the supermarket to skin the chicken.Thanks for sharing the recipe![]()
I've been sleeping on my sides (particularly left side) since I BFP .. Used a pillow to support my back to prevent me from rolling back to my back. Also as tummy gets bigger , uncomfortable to sleep on my back . Sleeping on left side is more preferred as it brings better blood flow and nutrients to the baby . My hubby bought the huge U-shaped pregnancy pillow for me and it is so good that I have a good sleep ever since every night. It supports my back and I have the pillow support between my legs too to release pelvic pressure . But pillows can do the trick too ., jus that it is so comfortable that nowadays I use it every nightAnybody sleeping on their left already? The guides I read says it's not good to sleep on your back after wk 20..and sleeping on the left (why left?) gives more blood to u and the baby.. I'm still alternating between right and left though..and sometimes still on my back for a short while.
Thanks so muchNo problem! Oh ya the other thing I do is I will put in fridge overnight then skim the jellied fats layer before reheating it for consumption.. Else ask the supermarket to skin the chicken.

Side track for thoSe of you who travel to and from work via public transport, do you experience people giving up seats to you? So fAr, the ones who surprisingly give up their seats to me are men and not women. The latter would rush for the priority seats instead. So frustrating
