tpy I like to eat the dried cranberries... they are not too sour. sort of like raisins... no added sugar just the cranberry so I feel it's healthier than taking the ocean spray like what lh said it's full of sugar.

can take the cranberries with yogurt even. better to get the natural yogurt kind, if too sour for you can add honey natural sweetener!

jo, I prefer those sort actually. I bought the baba luna sling to carry baby. I'm the kind who prefers to carry baby rather than use stroller... only bad thing about baba luna I find is that the weight is on one shoulder only so can be more tiring...the regular baby carriers spread out the weight to both shoulders so if you have chronic back/shoulder pain, might be better to get carrier.

I like the sling, I think it's more comfortable especially for infants. anyway last time all our mothers and grandmas carried us in sarong slings, so I feel it's okay.. .heh

tpy, when u r pregnant, cannot wait for uti to clear on its own. need to treat! my doc told me that when pregs, the tubules connecting the bladder/urine tract and kidneys dilate (meaning expand), so bacteria can actually travel up to kidneys and cause kidney infection if left untreated. in addition, uti during pregs may cause contractions and preterm delivery. so must treat!!

gosh, yellow that's serious. Yeah tpy better to get medication from doc 1st and check that you are cleared of the bacteria. thereafter eat/drink cranberry to maintain.

i'm not sure if that's part of the reason, but that time when i'm not pregnant I went to consult TCM for my UTI and the physician told me not to eat deep-fried/fried stuff and also avoid 'heaty' food like chocolate, chilli etc... and he advise to drink more barley. Probably when we pregnant we tend to eat more 'pu' stuff which are generally heaty. so it may explain why will kena UTI.

 

[tpy]

ya will go back to my GP for check if had cleared from UTI by this week. My mum also said me keep eating heaty stuffs like biscults or tibits which i did not eat a lot ma. i eat fruits more than such heaty food. Oh can eat "pu" things? like what?

 

[yellow0075]

but uti is not just caused by diet. our lifestyle also can trigger uti. e.g. holding bladder, wiping the wrong direction. and hovering on top of toilet seats can also cause uti cos apparently when we hover, we dont empty our bladders well... hur... i dunno if you hover but i do! especially when the seats are not clean :S

 

[jadeite]

Haha that's why I stopped hovering.. Bring wet wipes and wipe toilet seat. Ya try and clear ASAP if it affects pregnancy. Be safe for baby. You can take cranberries too to recover faster since it will not interfere with meds!

 

[tpy]

whahahahah i diao shui qing ting above the toliet bowl sia....guess i need to stop that but toliet bowel seats can b dirty and erxin to wipe.

 

[LH779]

try to choose those squatting pan loh. but of course as you get bigger it will be hard.
BTW fruits also got 'heaty' fruits. I recently got to know grapes are heaty.... when I just bought like one big brunch of it to eat (by myself)

 

[tpy]

oh grapes i thought is liang...i eat rock melon, guava, china pears, apple, avocado, honeydew..

Oic... I look at the sling type also think should be ok but just worried if baby gets heavier would it be too taxing. Haha maybe by then I also rather use a stroller cos too heavy.

I ordered the Combi brand (Well Carry) at the Baby Market. Can open and close with one hand =) It can seat the kid till 36 mths old. Can adjust the seat for sleeping and sitting too.
