Congrats to all mummies to be!!

yes! do take more milk and have folic acid daily.

my gynae also advice me to have lesser intake of coffee and tea, especially grapes and chocolates when some mummies are experiencing constipation, no intake of any chinese herbs nor medicines too!

some other old mums tales: not suppose to eat cuttlefish (if possible squids and similar), no intake of mutton & crab during pregnancy too.

Juz play safe so I din take any of this during my pregnancy. I'm in my 12th week already! :tlaugh:

Omg, I just ate sting ray last week. I didn't know I am suppose to avoid it, hopefully nothing bad will happen to my bb. :07:

I only avoid eating grassjelly, soya bean curd (duo hua - mum say gypsum powder is bad for bb), alero vera (read it on newspaper some years ago that though it good for our skin but it's bad for unborn bb), pineapple, watermelon, coconut juice etc.

my list of no-no food...

1) chin chow water / dessert (too cooling)
2) Kangkong
3) pineapple
4) durian (if ur baby is already quite big size) - eat in moderation
5) tao hui (soya bean dessert)


But soya bean drink can drink all you can. Apparantly, it is good for baby's complexion. I drank a lot of it during both my pregnancies and both of them have nice fair skin when born.

My OBS advised me to avoid raw food like sashimi and pineapples. Everything else may be consumed in moderation.

However, I've heard that one should avoid squid as well (old wives' tale).

I've heard that raspberry tea helps as well. Not sure if it's true though but my sister swears by it.

Coconut juice can drink those cans one? Hard to cut up the real coconut husks.

Tried to use knife also cannot cut, in the end use scissors to poke a hole big enough for a straw, but small pieces of husk flying all over while poking the hole. :embarrassed:
