Dr did not specifically recommend EPO, but when I asked if I should stop consuming EPO by Blackmores, Dr said no problem to consume EPO as it is good for women's health and it doesn't have any bad side effect for both mother and baby.
Blackmores' Pregnancy & Breastfeeding is recommended by your gynae?
Where are u delivering your baby? already know the gender? π
Try to avoid fried food. When I eat fried stuffs, I tend to feel slightly nauseous.
Recently I changed my diet to steaming food for dinner. I will put tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, ginger, onions, either one small fish/or one drumstick and three soup spoon of rice into the rice cooker and choose porridge option. And on another pot, I boil some green vegetables for 1 or 2 mins.
I didn't add any other seasoning and it taste so delicious. So far the only discomfort I feel is sleeping with a blooted tummy. Kinda need to be careful of my sleeping positions nowadays.
Also, I have not bought any meternity clothes as my tummy is still small. A forummer here mentioned about his wife visit Uniqlo for meternity clothes but I check out the prices on their website and it's quite costly to me (avg. RM129 /leggings)
I found motherhood website offers slightly reasonable price but I'm unsure the quality of material.
Also, just for your reference, I look up the OKBB Disney series for baby wear. Price quite reasonable. Example, a Winnie the Pool pajamas set at only RM10 /set
And Disney's Winnie the Pool baby's cot accessories also quite reasonable. Check out OKBB website for more choices.
If anyone here know of any other online sites to share, feel free to exchange reference π
I'm still hesitating if I should go for the blood test at RM1,600 end of this month. The Detailed Scan would cost me RM250.
Actually doctor says i can eat any brand multivitamin. I was using Solaray multivitamin but a bit worried when i see it has quite a lot vit a and also contain alfafa (herbs not proven safe or not safe for preggie) so i changed to blacksmore pregnancy & breastfeeding.
Yup i know the gender through the blood test since i am worried - i am over 35 and i have a cousin born with down syndrome. You can consider not to do this blood test if you are not over 35 and no history in your family. My edd is feb19.
So far i ve only bought maternity jeans from h&m during promo but also cost about rm100. Both h&m and uniqlo maternity range quite similiar. Lookout for promotion, sometimes uniqlo maternity jeans/pants sells for rm99. I am planning to go buy plenty of legging during baby fair. If not mistaken rm30 can get a legging already.
