There's a service called Heavenly Health store that collects it direct from the hospital and cleans it and encapsulates it for you. You can google the service online. Yup yellow, I don't think I'll be doing it. I'm kinda skeptical in the first place so doubt there's any placebo effect for me lol!! Just that I thought if there is a real use, I don't mind doing it in pill form. No way am I eating it raw or cooked in any form. Shudder!

I bought a few maxi dresses that are actually not maternity wear, but have plenty of space in the waist to accommodate the bump. Maxi dresses actually look really good on pregnant women! Makes us look more elegant and makes the bump look cuter. So I'll probably wear these dresses for CNY. won't be buying any special maternity outfits, it's kind of a waste of money since we have hardly any time left to wear new clothes... Enjoy CNY ladies!!

Yellow, can I ask - Chin Ting mentioned there's an enzyme in pineapple that isn't safe for pregnant women, but my gynae said a little bit should be fine. Are pineapple tarts safe for consumption since the pineapple has been cooked and processed? I think I'll die if I have to go thru CNY without any pineapple tarts. Haha! Actually I totally forgot that pineapple tarts = pineapple until hubby reminded me. *sadface*

I also experienced this - I get this feeling too during my period. I thought it's just because of increased blood flow to the area so it gets more swollen and more tender...

Anyway recently have also been having a lot of cramps. Not Braxton-Hicks... Just like a stitch-like feeling all around. V uncomfortable. Same feeling I had in first tri but worse. Guess it's just the same stretching and pulling of the ligaments again... Sigh. Work is getting harder to endure now that I am in third tri - so tired all the time!!

yup, pineapples do have enzymes that trigger uterine contractions. but mainly avoided in first tri cos the pregnancy is not stable. now the placenta and the uterus so developed already... a little shouldnt cause any major complications.

As for pineapple tarts, i think they should be fine! the enzyme is most likely to be destroyed during the pineapple paste making process, and if not, the baking will definitely deactivate it. the only thing to note is that pineapple tarts are very high in calories and fat (esp saturated fat), so do eat in moderation!

actually all CNY goodies are high in calories and fat - bak kwa, love letters etc. so eat in moderation! bring along fruits/nuts in your bag to snack on instead of CNY goodies. >.<

I have this itch and bumps few weeks ago (no discharge). usually I'll have that during menses (due to that area being hot and wet I guess). I didn't think much of it actually cause I'm thinking cause the things i eat nowadays are quite 'heaty'. just that sometimes the itch really difficult to bear.
