Can understand ur feelings about sil but do cheer up. Is it her first kid? U will catch up soon with your 2nd! Tsb will help u!

[dolly_gal]

I use electric brew pot, usually first brew I put 4 rice bowls of water then 2nd brew I put 3 rice bowl of water..

 

[hopeful_mum]

u won't be able to cover the hers becoz they float. so like dolly says 4 bowls of water actually sufficient. thats how i get my 900ml of water too.

[dolly_gal]

When I first visited her, she also asked me who introduced me to see her.. I told her my fren who is also seeing her recommended me there.. Maybe it is a standard question that she will ask for first-timer .. Heheh..

 

[angel_mommy]

Bel, good to invest in an electric pot dolly gal has a cheaper lobang .. I bought mine at TSB clinic.. More ex.. $148. But I really think an electric pot is so much more convenient

 

[bel_vodka]

I have tis at hme is this also ok to cook the herbs ? If not I will go buy the 88 pot.. dolly pm me or let me know whr to get pls ..

Been an hr of the 1st brewing only .. im gg mad lol .. my son waiting for me to tuck him to bed.. my mom n dh rolled eyes at me for brewing at tis hr

 

[hopeful_mum]

[bel_vodka]

Haha hopeful .. i know nuts abt cooking .. thank u for ur inputs I btr go get electric pot soon to brew ..

lol im not sure, but i think slow cooker will take longer. thats my guess. think u use slightly higher heat to brew will be faster. just don't let it dry out. hugs!

we all learn, ask ur dh be patient

 

[dolly_gal]

Ladies, its yue shin siang medical hall 65334915..u can Google for the address.. it's further down the hdb blocks from og Chinatown taxi stand

 

[dolly_gal]

Slower cooker u still need to monitor whether it will boil until dry or not.. electric brew pot auto stop boiling when it's a bowl of water left..

[Emily Tan]

Bel, I cook tsb med oso cook until mid night. very tiring. I use non stick ceramic pot (cannot use metal or those non stick frying pot) wash and add 3 rice bowls full of water. then on stove n boil on big fire for 5 mins then switch to medium fire boil abt 25mins till I see 1 rice bowl. they say b4 boiling must soak for 20mins but I always skip this step cos lazy. 2nd boiling I put 2 and half rice bowls of water . same thing boil on big fire on e stove for 5mins then switch to medium fire boil abt 20 mins to get 1 rice bowl. den mix e 2 med tog n drink. but usu aft cooking for e 1st round of med, I will pour half to my cup n slowly bit by bit drink first, while waiting for e 2md round of med to boil. cos I dare not drink all at 1 shot. nearly got killed and traumatised b4 so dare not le.

 

[Emily Tan]

dolly girl, hee rest more is good. rmb to remain calm n happy mood ya.

 

[dolly_gal]

Waiting for my mum, sil , godson n maid to come later. They will cook early dinner to celebrate my bday so i ask in laws n dh niece to come over since kids like to blow candles on bday cake...

 

[angelbaby924]

[hopeful_mum]

My mil sister, auntie, and of cox I know mil is also involved. Trying to tell me go Suntec fountain walk 3 rounds and make a wish and will have a kid.

Seriously. Whether I have kid or not it's not abt the fountain Loh. I know they trying to help but I'm almost snapping at her already. I just tell her I don't believe. And she still continue saying who spend how much money on fertility still no use. Then make a wish go japan come back have Liao.

Pls lah. Then they wanna sponsor me go japan. They don't know my status yet but I don't want to explain. Like seriously. U all so scared ur son no child then talk to him don't tell me.

Sorry just need to vent. It's not like I can't conceive and not as if I want to miscarry in the past right. So irritating.

I still won't tell them till i enter 2nd trim. They now so busy waiting for their 2nd DIL to give birth in July Liao why come and bother me.

No worries jus rant here is the place for us to ventilate .. So feel free
I also think it is better to inform them only when you reach 2nd trimester.. Give them a shock and a pleasant surprise!

 

[Piggling]

Hi hopeful_mum, I think angel mummy is right. Shock and surprise everyone when you are in 2nd tri.

Now you just need to take good care of yourself, let beanie grow well and wait for 2nd tri to come.

Jia you n stay happy! Don't let anyone affect your mood.

 

[hopeful_mum]

Thanks ladies. Ya definitely not telling. If my SIL is not preggie and delivering in jul I won't say. Cox I m not visiting her I pantang when she deliver. I will wait until 5-6th mth If I can hide. Of cox hubby can't wait to tell but I refused.

When I complained he was like nvm lah when they see ur tummy just say u went to drink the fountain water. Faint! Walk many rounds drink a lot of water. Lol.

 

[dolly_gal]

Hopeful, relax. Initially I aso dun wanna tell my in laws until after first tri. But after last sat bleeding saga, dh can't hold it anymore n told his parents wat happened..

[hopeful_mum]

Lol if I can I will really tell them after I deliver. Lol of cox my hubby will feel unjust telling his parents so late. I already told him they cannot ctrl what kind of diapers etc I want to use. It's my child I will choose to listen to their advice selectively.

Ya I think I know how u feel.. I'd be v pissed if next time mil interferes in the way I handle my bb.. If it's me I Oso won't want to tell mil until I give birth lol.. If not later see them u eat this or that they Oso say .. Life v miserable

LOL... if they want to interfere with the diapers part, ask them to pay!

But sometimes I will feel don't want to say is also good, like keep low-profile, don't jinx it, quiet quiet go give birth then celebrate.
There are just too much uncertainties liao. I am the kind I really scare said le, will jinx. Yet cannot contain excitement.

 

[bel_vodka]

Haha tell them when got full mth celebration ..

Mom n dad u are invited to ur grandchild full mth party. ..

Vomit blood ... lol :x

 

[dolly_gal]

Bz bz morning for me!!!! Today the thread seems a bit quiet.
Was a little zzzz yesterday when my MIL said I should not be eating pineapples now. On Friday there was fish head curry and pineapple slices were in it. There was left over pineapple and so I took a slice of it. When I took it out of the fridge she said "Shao3 chi4"... I ate it nonetheless cos eating less doesnt mean not eating and I was eating only 1 slice. Then yest she was saying i shld not be eating it now cos in the olden days people ate it to induce mc... i was innocently saying .. eh i tink need to eat a lot right.... then she said it depends on ppls body.. To me it's: If got pineapple then technically I should not even be eating the fish head curry right? But no comment on that when I had the curry. 2. It's utter bullcrap re the pineapple and MC (is it scientifically proven or just some bullcrap old wives' tales? Cos if it really caused miscarriages women in developing nations wouldnt risk their lives to go for abortions at illegal abortionists! They'd just eat a tonne of pineapples and voila!!) 3. My body is strong 4. how can i miscarry if i am not even pregnant? =X

And i lagi sian ... i da bao fish slice beehoon for dinner. I ate halfway then i was told there is bazhen soup...I was thinking omg now then tell me...if i finish my beehoon and the soup i will die man from the amount of water i have. plus i do not drink anywater after 830pm! luckily it was only 1 small bowl.. just gulp down ... i wanna faster move out !!!!

The diapers are cheaper but u will spend a lot more time, detergent and water washing. And time is most important to me. Hence I'd gladly pay more to save time!

 

[bubbleblue1]

Yes, tell her about it so she can adjust her medicine .. Last visit I told her I have backache and some blood clots.. This cycle no more backache and blood clots .. Let her know

angel_mommy, thanks for your advise! I will tell her when I see her this wed.

Well I also dorm believe lah. But my recurrent mc specialist prof mahesh just warned me not to eat pineapple today. Cox I ate Hawaiian piazzas and there's pineapples. I'm guilty now. He says no papayas for me too. And the thing is I'm perfectly healthy with all my blood tests done. Mc reasons can't be found for my case. Only can blame on suayness.

Haha faster move out and i can eat whatever i want FREELY and i can rly have good reason to stop drinking bazhen. I did subtly tell her that I dont want it (If it works, it definitely hasnt for me and it probably takes too long. If it doesnt work, why waste time on that? ) but...arrgh.

 

[lemon tart]

just wondering if it is ok to eat guava. is it a liang kind of fruit? I gave up papaya le. if cannot eat guava even then sure kena constipation de.

 

[chloe_ng]

The thing abt mil is that even if they are irritating and have weird views, sometimes no choice but to close one eye or close two eyes to keep the peace. Cuz after u have kids u may rely on them to help u look after. Unless u r sahm or planning to send to ifc. U cannot burn bridges cuz u nv know when u need their help to help u look after ur kids.

How about trying chia seeds? I remember someone mentioned that she is taking that as it has quite a fair bit of fiber, then I remember I actually got a packet too and started taking again.
Usually I try to take a lot of water and leafy green veggie, I am not really a fruits person as I find them too sweet. Hehe.
How about eating apples? Think eating apples help to clear bowels but not sure is it v liang. I thought maybe okie.

 

[chloe_ng]

My tcm meds help me clear bowels so I have no issue with bowels since i started tcm. I eat fruits in moderation won't purposely avoid except pineapple and watermelon.

thanks piggling and chloe for the suggestion. I will attempt to eat more green leafy veg too..I am really scared of constipation as I kena last time. so i have learnt my lesson to load my diet with fruits. now time I eat more green leafy veg!

 

[yew_yew]

Hi ladies, just curious - wanna ask those of you who have been pregnant before and had morning sickness. When did your morning sickness set in?

I didn't have it with #1 & #2 so I don't know.

Thanks in advance!

Yah, i also scare constipation 1. Actually really v uncomfortable. I read somewhere before if already constipated (as in the stuck liao stage), continue loading too much fiber may stuck it even further. Think have to drink more liquid to soften it too.
