4) Do not cut anything in the room where mummy and daddy is staying especially on the bed.

5) Do not eat Pineapple.

6) Do not eat raw food such as sashimi or oyster or half boil egg, etc.

7) Do not paint the house

8) Do not eat food such as Rojak (Chinese and Indian style).

9) Do not smoke.

10) For Mommy who is Buddhist or go temple to pray, do not pray to Tiger God 虎爷(下坛元帅) especially White Tiger God as there is a myth that they will eat up the baby fetus

11) No need to kneel down when we pray (for Buddhists) cos a pregnant woman status is bigger.

12) Do not nail anything in the house.

Cannot nail anything in house. Try not to be at the house when someone is doing this.

My mum say cannot kneel down when we pray (buddhism) cause our status are bigger. This is what she say

Dear forummers,

why not ? what is your concern ?

Cos the service technician will dismantle the whole air-con for chemical washing and 'installing' them back after the wash and older folks say it's not advisable to 'dismantle' things in the master bedroom.....

Hi, first-time mum here! I’m currently seeing Dr Regina from GynaeMD Clementi, and she’s been quite reassuring. A few things I’ve been told (or learnt the hard way): avoid intense workouts unless cleared by your OB, don’t take herbal remedies or random supplements, try not to sleep flat on your back in later stages, and avoid skipping meals even if you’re feeling nauseous; light snacks really help. I try to stay careful without overthinking every little thing.

Great idea—this will be really useful for new mums! One thing to add: avoid eating high-mercury fish like swordfish, king mackerel, or shark. Also, try to limit caffeine to no more than 1 cup of coffee a day. And of course, no smoking, alcohol, or raw/undercooked foods. For personalised advice, it’s always best to consult your gynae—Dr Law Wei Seng is great if you’re looking for someone experienced!

Maybe also add avoiding unpasteurized dairy, undercooked meat, and limiting caffeine. It’s good to check with a doctor before taking herbal teas or supplements too.
