Sharks's fin is a no no. i read it somewhere in some pregnant books that it contains mercury.

chicken essence should be ok. everything in moderation.
dont drink too much? maybe once every 2 or 3 days?

Thats the exact same question I wanna ask my gynae during my next visit...haha..

I have been taking Essence of Chicken with Ginkgo Biloba everyday without fail. Now, upon knowing that I am pregnany, I stop my daily dosage..Wonder whether can i continue taking 1 pill a day?

when i attended antenatal classes at KKH,

the dietician warned against big fish...so shark's fin is a major no no

big fish - mecury content at deep seas...something like that

tuna is good for preg i think


chicken of essence...1 per day is good.

i took chicken essence everyday when i was preggie. from e day i found out all e way till delivery. sometimes hb will buy fish essence instead.
for 1st tri baby wont benefit from it, but my hb took it as buillding my body to prepare for pregnancy.
gynae said it's ok to take but if can double boil black chicken with wolfberry/red dates to drink will be better than those bottles chicken essence.
