Pregnancy Updates 43: Blood Pressure.
17 Feb 2010During our last antenatal appointment, my BP somehow shot a bit higher than normal with a reading of 130/80. I’m still wondering how it got so high since I was seated the whole time waiting for our turn *puzzled*
Blood Pressure during Pregnancy
By the 6th month of pregnancy, you will have produced an extra two and [...]
Pregnancy & Soya Beans.
In: It Sucks| Mother To Be
9 Feb 2010A chilled glass of Soya Bean Milk is simply heavenly on a warm day, or whenever. Don’t you agree? That’s exactly what I’ve been having almost daily for the past 2 months. Whenever possible, we would buy a large bottle and that could last us for a day or 2.
This is not uncommon among us [...]
Pregnancy Goodness: Birth Ball.
In: Mother To Be| Preparations
29 Jan 2010The Birth Ball is the same as the Gym Ball. It was originally developed for physical therapy in treating orthopedic and neurological disorders. Since introduced years ago, it has become a favourite complement for everyday exercise.

Cord Blood Stem Cells.
28 Jan 2010If you are currently an expecting mother too, then you would know how it feels like to be a prey to many salespeople that target our hormones as a successful business closure. No kidding!

Scubby at Gasing Veterinary Hospital, 2.
In: Scubby
25 Jan 2010It was a long day for Scubby last Saturday. We took him for a groom at noon and right after, we headed straight to Gasing Veterinary Hospital for his annual vaccination.
Unlike those taken during puppyhood, Dr Wong recommended an additional vaccine called PneumoDog on top of the 8+1 vaccination. So like a brave warrior, [...]

Pregnancy Goodness: Exercise.
In: I'm a Fan| Mother To Be
17 Dec 2009My initial ideal exercise regime for this pregnancy was walking on the treadmill. But that never happened because of my morning sickness and also for the fear of Downy *ugh* Then now with my bigger frame and swollen feet, walking is definitely out of the picture.
So about a month ago, I started on these simple [...]

Pregnancy Goodness: Sardines.
In: Foodies| Mother To Be
9 Dec 2009I’ve never been much of a fish fan simply because of its smell. Unless of course, presented with a plateful of Salmon Sashimi! So it does come as quite of a surprise to see myself eating Sardine sandwiches for the past 4 days in a row.
