i think direct family members know during 1st tri is ok la. no need so pantang 1 la. some ppl not pantang, oso experienced miscarriage.
 
hi. i asked my auntie, she expert on all things pantang. she tell me that you carry something sharp to keep the pontianak away from your baby :) old times they believe if you go out at night then spirits, pontianaks can come, take your baby....they scared of sharp shiny things tho. before ppl so scared they don't go out at night when pg but that long time ago, proper kampong days :D

cats - to do with faeces, v. dangerous to handle faeces when pg.

i avoid hospitals just cos immune system weaker so don't want to catch anything. but funerals i attend. my mother said very important to attend and grieve for lost person. must rid yourself of the sadness otherwise it will transfer to the baby. better not to bottle up emotions inside....always better to express.

im 7weeks now, cant avoid cutting stuff sersiouly. what about working time, need to use scissors to cut wrapper or paper all that. cant be avoided. + i did sewing last week? i nv heard about sewing on bed.
as for painting, i heard that baby will have lotsa birth marks.
nv heard about dont shift anything at home.
i had crab in my 4th week coz i was in JApan (hokkaido), cant avoid at all. haha! its like, i went all the way there n not eating their famous crab, its like im wasting money. but i avioded onsen there coz on the day of departure, i went for my first appt at KK, the doc advise not to go for onsen.
heard that if eat crab, nx time when baby is born, he/she will have "itchy" hands+legs. run about, take this/take that.. abit hyper litat.
i had muttons even before i tested my preg, but was preg at the moment. so far, so good. but try to avoid is still the best =) mum say what, i just TRY to follow as much as i can.

doc say, must avoid pineapples! i guess every mummy out there should know this =) oh, yes, and watermelon, bananas. not to over feed yourself with oranges coz it will in turn, make ur baby have phlegm in future and breathing problem. just have the average share can ald. ^.^
