Hi everyone morning....
Went for check up yesterday.Everything's good so can plan for Bb anytime if we want.
Cheer: thanks.. Looking forward now..
pris: yes joyle is right. Just check what she is lacking for. Previously my MIL oso, asking us abt the lobby whenever we select a hotel. She doesnt like NCQ but my hubby inform her that, "Are u choosing a nice lobby which you are going to stay there for 5 mins or a ballroom for 3 hrs?" Until she got nothing to say. Inform her abt ur budget. Let them know abt it.

Shirley: Long time no see! Are you pregnant? If yes, congrats! hehe..
BTW Cheer/Shirley/Ling, what does folic acid comprises of? Is it to stabilize pregnancy condition? This is the first time i heard of folic acid
pris: from what you said, it seems like your mum is trying to compromise (though a lil' unwilling for now) and try to see in ur point in view, which is good news!
Hopefully soonish she will fully support your idea happily and willingly ^_^

hihi sunshine...yup yup
Folic acid, also known as folate or folacin, is one of the B group of vitamins, also known as B9. Your body needs it to produce red blood cells, as well as norepinephrine and seratonin (chemical components of the nervous system. It helps make DNA (the body's genetic material), which normalises the brain's functions, and is a critical component of spinal fluid. Folic acid is also one of the few nutrients known to prevent neural tube birth defects, such as spina bifida

shirley>> congratS! so happy to hear ppl expecting.. my colleague also broke to me news that she's expecting when I tell her i very stress, like super stress-reliever!
Ladies, actually folic acid, cheap or expensive, the effect is the same, so the pharmacy ones are cheap and as effective! and yah! good for those prepping to become mothers!
actually taking folic acid normally also no harm, some docs prescribe to slightly mal-nutrition patients..
pris>> hope everything goes well for u.. go for the best Win-Win solution!

Shirley>> dun stress too much.. my colleague now expecting 2nd one, but she totally different from her first one. 1st one cannot drink cold water, cannot anyhow eat… now she take everything~!
To me, Traditional Chinese Med can be good, but it’s good to check the contents of the medication cos’ different brands have different content. U can google for HSA and check on traditional Chinese medicine to see if the brands are established, remember seeing some pages where they will give u the batch number that has been recalled and things like that..
thomas>> welcome back!! that's a really long break.. haha~
