Hi Phoebii,
I'm trying to eat more fruits, drink fruit juice and Yakult lor... I think Yakult helps =) Just hope the constipation wouldn't get worse
For constipation, another remedy that works well for me is to eat papaya. you may want to try.
Also if you are taking fybogel, remember to drink a lot more water. cos last time i drank, but did not increase my water, it seems to make it worse.
BTW I have this issue of no wanted to drink plain water. Cause nowadays just don't like to taste of plain water. Do you all know of any drinks that is non cooling and non heaty. Those that I know of is either cooling or heaty.
had been boiling longan tea, then when i wan to boil barley, luo han gou etc all these are cooling so not suitable
feel that my body really heaty now, cos whatever i eat gives me a bitter taste and according to a TCM doc, that's because I'm too heaty.

Hi Panic,
the malay massage at 38 dollars is for post or pre natal? I have asked a few malay and Chinese ML and most quote bet 50 to 70 dollars per session for post natal massage

Hi, you can try taking prune juice. I had some pink spotting when I had constipation and was straining during bowel movement so my gynae suggested prune juice and it helps. Hope you feel better soon!
another thing you can do is to put a small stool under your feet when you go to the toilet... human body is not made to shit sitting down. Hospitals actually recommend you to squat, if can't squat cuz v uncomfortable, use a stool to prop your feet up, or lean forward when you are on the toilet bowl. just those small stools the ah mas use to sit on and scrub clothes kind... it really helps me. actually long term sitting while shitting can cause bowel issues.
Can anyone feel the baby yet? I'm at 15 weeks + 2 days, and was bending over in my seat to change my work shoes to slippers, and felt two finger taps in lower abdomen. I'm pretty sure it wasn't gas or any muscle spasms. Most online pregnancy literature state that fetal movements can be first felt between 16-22 weeks, so this might be it!

feeling is like bubbles popping or popcorn popping continuously. past few weeks only can feel more when i lied on the bed but today at work i could feel the movements for 2 hrs. you will feel bb is moving eg left side slight kick then stop a while then rite side etc. i would think lie down on a bed and stay focus, you would be able feel it more
I wanted to donate cord blood actually...but I also want to do delayed cord clamping...and it seems that the two things are not compatible.
Delayed Cord Clamping - How Delayed Cord Clamping Significantly Benefits Your Baby for those who are interested in reading about delayed cord clamping. it's only 2-3 mins so it's a small waiting time only.
Also have been chatting to other mummy friends who are delivering soon...really hope you ladies have discussed your decisions for birthing with your gynae even though you may think it's quite early. but my friend is v upset with gynae cuz she keeps pushing for c-sect, and says that if she wants natural then she doesn't want to let my friend get epidural. and since my friend is due next week, it's too late to change gynae alr... so best to make sure your gynae will agree with certain decisions you want, so that if you want to change gynae, it's not too late!
