Haha, yessss the wait is unbearable. Hmmm, i think calcium is not poisonous for the body if consumed too much. So far I heard the guideline is 1 cup of milk a day, the rest of the day eat as usual. Cheese, dairy no limits... unlike iron,which you can't eat too much of.

Recommended calcium per day is 1000mg.
It would be wonderful to munch on ikan billis (the crispier the better ;p) and seaweed everyday. But it's the salt content that I'll be worried about
And yes, I'm one MTB who craves for certain food through my pregnancy. If I dont get it, I will think about it all the way until I do get to eat it. Haa~ But it wont be those in the middle of the night craves. Just normal meal time. If I dont get to eat it for lunch then I will strive to eat it for dinner. Kaka.

Oh yes! Me too! I'm currently craving for gummies.... grape gummies... and I hate gummies before pregnancy, I don't like the way they stick to your teeth after chewing... But I'm craving for the flavour now. ahahaha. Oh, Two weeks ago, I ate nasi lemak for breakfast 3 days in a row before craving stop. Hubby almost died from eating the same food over and over again.

Lee: OMG I just totally spread craving symptoms to you. ahahah. Speaking of which! My husband is getting cravings too! Not just me... he crave expensive food -.- Sashimi... and not the cold storage/ NTUC kind.

Oh! why banned? Fresh sashimi in Singapore (at least) is safe from bacteria and whatnot. So baby's fine. I'm living prove. ahahaha. Just ask your hubby to test eat frist. If it's warm or not very fresh, don't eat it. otherwise, those served in restaurants are fine (I didn't eat the ones from cold storage, don't trust THAT sort, though hubby says it's fine). Ahhh I feel like eating pasta >< Vongole with minestroni. Odd. I hate minestroni.

Was adviced dont take raw during pregnancy. Not about being fresh or not. It is living bacteria (as in all raws seafood) that's generally no good for the fetus. This comes from my gynaes and internet. Of course, it's your own take
I'm a mobile person (as in i travel by car a lot during work) so luckily I dont have to depend on my hubby to buy stuff in the day in case I wanna eat something here n now! We will still go hunt together at night and weekend for my food craves.
So by 11am if I think I wanna eat mee siam, I will drive to eat mee siam for lunch. Now, I usually crave for dishes with sour punch. Like meesiam, tomato-based pasta, tom yam, etc.

Dragontail: Mee siam, i like also but this mth fasting mth..some malay stall not open..
sometime when i feel like taking some sour sour soup...i will make a can of campbell minestorni
Do you all think izzit to early to think of name for our baby after knowing the gender? My hub n I went through a list of name found in Bible...our eyes start seeing stars only at LIST A! ... haha.

Can still get meesiam from QiJi or Coffee & Toast (if I remember the name correctly). But nothing beats the malay ones.
I will be (havent really discussed with my hubby on this) getting someone I know who does names for newborns. So I will leave it after baby is born.

Oh I have been wanting to ask you mummies.... How is your weight gain at this point? I am at 16week plus and I havent gain a single kg. It's the same weight as my pre-preg. I lost weight at first trime but gained back a bit during 2nd trime so now I am back to square one.
Can share? I am just getting paranoid if baby is growing ok and my bump is obvious already but still no weight gain.

Thanks LeeTham. My last gynae visit was few weeks ago and doc didnt mention about weight since my bump wasnt even noticable then. Guess I will see what he says in 2 weeks time.
OMG 15kg and he's not even preggie? LOL. My sista gained 20kg during her full term preg. That's really too much right. She was able to shed 15kg after that only. She says the remaining 5kg sticks with her forever

Senscgal - My EDD is on 22 January but still unable to see bb gender. Hopefully n looking forward to next Friday scan! Yes, pls send me your contact for the masseuse. Thanks!! really feeling very tired everyday ESP today after bringing the kids out to the Jurong bird park. Another trip tmr, bless me! I can't wait to have massage.. Getting very lazy these days, mil doing all the household chores n I just eat n slp. Hehe!
I'm holding back on the fish oil too, worrying abt consuming too much supplements causing side effect
Not much craving on particular food but hub will keep asking me what I wanna eat n drive me there. Initial stage, I couldn't stand the smell of fish n durian but recently I'm fine with it again. Hehe! So far I've gained 2 to 2.5kg
