Increas3 vit c intake

Like eat kiwi ?

For me i have constipation too.

So i eat a yellow kiwi everyday (for my flu n my constipation). Green kiwi also can but i saw the promotion says yellow more nutrients so i took yellow

Orange also can but scared if u have cough it will increase phlegm.


I took some sips of vitamin tablets thats dissolved in water already... but then i would try to have vit c intake naturally rather then through pills

N yes i took self made warm lemon honey too... also to make me feel better with my morning sickness

 

[chloebun]

Yes I am eating 1 kiwi a day now as well.. So can recover even without taking meds? I have to be working so the aircon makes the flu worse and I'm not sure if I can recover without meds on mon.. But I feel bad to baby if I eat meds

 

[chloebun]

I also read somewhere that too much vit c is not good for baby?? Contradicted by online articles sometimes..

Is taking medicine ok in first trimester? I'm very worried

Then warm lemon honey will clear ur nose. Drink as warm as u can tahan

Drink lota of water also

There are pregnancy safe medicine too...

Too much pure vit c is not good (refering to the small pill which is 100% pure vit c.) But if it's vit c naturally its all right . N if its those dissolvable in water those vit c also ok.

But i would prefer vit c in natural fruits

Oh ya u can also try

Cut an orange top part a bit. Then put some salt n steam for 5 mins. Then dig out the contents n eat while its warm. It works wonder too
