Maybe can take white fungus weekly then only in third trimester spend more for birds nest?
many tcm recommend birds nest only in third trimester actually.. Some say baby will have better complexion, but I also don't know if true. . Another alternative may be hashima 雪蛤, but I don't know whether gd for preggies? Any mummies take before?
I think ginseng can also cause bleeding, so not so good esp for those who have had spotting..

I agree with joyandpeace, for second trim mayb can spare our pocket abit n just take white fungus once weekly. Dnt take too much also. I think moderation is still the key word even in terms of "bu". Last trimester then spend more to take bird nest lor... i took hashima last week too. I googled n I read that hashima contains alot of hormones so also cannot take too much...

Hi deary, I think what Twinnie meant is double boil the bird nest just by itself with rock sugar will do. Don't add other ingredients eg. Red dates, ginseng, dried longans etc. I think that's what she meant if I'm not wrong

okie! noted will try to take it weekly. Think i just stick to white fungus ba for the 2nd tri. Thanks joy!
GBOB, yea lor. I think i just stick to white fungus. Sometime is like kiasu scared bb nvr get the "bu". Cos for first tri, i din gain any weight. Scared bb not nutritious, so 2nd tri try to give more nutrition.
Err.. where to get Hashima? i dun rem see it before ler

ya lucky godblessmybb pointed out coz i dunthink and never heard that bird nest can eat raw Not sure those other ingredients like red dates, pao sheng will absord bird nest nutrition but we can eat the dates and pao sheng mah. As i will take dong cong cao too biweekly...i will eat dong cong cao, pao sheng and lean meat as well (as it will absorb dong cong cao's nutrition as well).

Just now my helper help him walk to the wheelchair n he didn't really aim properly n sit on the wheelchair at the edge!!! I gotta help abit leh... Now I feel so guilty cos I used abit of strength just now... Geez...
ya lucky godblessmybb pointed out coz i dunthink and never heard that bird nest can eat raw
that would be quite funny
to eat bird nest raw !! save alot of work lei
to double boil prolly takes abt 2 hours.. to eat it raw.. 5 mins? :X haha
hmm can eat the dates and pao sheng..but advisable not to put anything is the best..
but i still see some pple puting dates and stuff.. so confusing.

Dun worry too much GBOB..abit of strength is fine la..since we r in 2nd tri liao..Bb is well protected..mummies w oreid #1 or #2 liao sure always haf to use strength oso..although we try not to..
Hub jus bought bottled concentrated birds nest fm Eu yan sang too..no one to boil for need bo bian..will jus take a spoonful everyday or every other day on empty stomach..save all e trouble..n these r without anything added..even rock sugar..

GBOB, maybe move the wheelchair to him next time instead of letting him walk over? Sometimes after discharge from a long hospital stay, elderly pple can become very weak.. Few steps also may fall sometimes. Ask your helper to use one hand to hold on to his pants at the back-- works like a harness so that one person alone can help prevent him fall. Or can try getting him a walking stick if the hospital didn't give him one.
take care.Don't feel guilty. I still do my laundry and hang them inside (can't do outside anymore)...sometimes, I ask htb to come over in order to help me do my laundry. Sometime he get mad because I exert too much effort.
My MIL sponsored the birdnest. My htb said that it's an expensive kind so i should eat...hehehe, but I'm really not used to this stuff. One thing i proven though, i prefer a chilled (cold) birdnest than hot one...less smelly for me...i read somewhere that birdnest should not have any funny taste, but for some reason it taste and smell like a raw egg for me... :S

Yo joy, ya that was my intention but my helper say must "train" my dad according to the physiotherapist... Must try to let him walk abit.. That's y we didn't wheel him to the bed n asked him to try walking instead. He did it but abit tough cos he abit weak n not stable... N how m I not to exert strength to help him wor... I so worry he will fall... My helper quite well trained in taking care of him alrdy n she knows abt the pulling the back of his pants... Just that she isn't that big size n strong...

Maybe try letting him sit on the bed edge and do leg raise exercise for a few days first.. Build some muscles then easier to walk. Of course if can walk more will be good but in hospital got physio n nurses to assist.. Whereas you must take care of baby also. Take care.

Hi deary, my helper is actually helping together with me jagaring my old man when he was walking this afternoon. My dad is quite heavy. One person will have difficulty handling him esp now his legs r weak after his fall.
Now I only pray hard hard he won't keep on shouting the entire night. He has been shouting almost every half an hour once... Really need God to bless me with limitless patience.... Sigh...

It's such a difficult situation for u now. Or try what joynpeace says train his muscle first.
Your dad shouting because he's feeling pain?
godblessmybb
Well-Known Member
Nope. He just shouts now n then for my helper. Sometimes shouts for me. He cnt really sleep well at night n when he wants something, he shouts. Plus he's deaf so he can't hear how loud he is. It's v tormenting for me cos we can't have peaceful sleep. He shouts v v v loud....

godblessmybb - be careful if u need to carry ur dad & r u staying with ur dad? u seem like a good cook and i like bb food too hee...but now after pregnancy, i quite scare of puree thingys...duno why.
i will sometime not really cramping but a heavy type of feeling feel duno izit placenta...at times i scare if my movement too vigorous will drop it (touchwood). I also can't wait for my detailed scan this mth end!
My tastebud changed too when i on lst trim...used to love bread, red bean, pumpkin which i can eat daily but i can't stomach it at all. Now ok leh...ur tastebud still not ok till now? Found that i prefer savoury food than sweet now..i used to like sweet than savoury.
