oh just remember my mam also use to say :

1. don't sit or standing by the door (try not to do this if i remember)
2. don't look at bad things (but frm 1st - 3rdmth my hb always take me to watch those alien movies lah, or gangster...aiyaa always pray that nothing bad absorb to my bb hehe)
3. don't tie someting or cut living things (fish or chicken) -thou i never cut fish or chicken in normal condition too..
4. carry sharp things in pockets like safety pin also ok(this one i just remember, for 5 mths never carry anything..hope its ok....
5. don't gossip

you arn't suppose to go out at midnight.

i ignore those. (i am a rebellious and support lady.) so far, baby is growing good. (lucky!)

you aren't suppose to eat crab too. (afraid that your baby come out will have "a lot" of hands) but my craving was crab!
you aren't suppose to eat banana also. (afraid that you baby come out will have a lot of 'tan' - phlegm)
caffeine intake should limit to 80mg per day. (if i did not remember wrongly) *this is not tales. this is according to the medical discovery in america. caffeine tend to affect the blood vessels connecting you and your baby in your tummy.*
you/your family (as long as they stay with you) are not suppose to drill/renovate/nail/move any nails, furniture, etc.

i didn't not follow except for the caffeine intake. i know i am naughty. :x

i dont how to start new thread n i think i cant do it.
haha..
but im curious..
if you haven went for 2 abortions before n about 3 to 4 mths later you are pregnant again n you decide to keep this baby, do you really have to tell the doctor or gynae abt the situation or you can keep it a secret to yourself n not tell anyone?

thanks..

mayb if u had 2 abortion b4, there might be chances of somethin bad wil happen..dat y is gd to be truthful to ur gynae..tis is wat i feel la..
