Hi mtb/ experienced mommies, did your mommy/mil give u drink any "bu tang"? Can we have it during the 1st tri? Heard ppl said is to "bu" the mommy during 1st tri so must drink.. while some said better not as it might affect our little one in us.. confused here! Any experience mommies here do share with us your experienced..

i do not take any special tonic soup as my mum say dun over-nourish now, eat normal and eat well. Of course, i still drink my chix herbal soup, ABC soup etc, simple soup stuff. nothing specially for preggies..

bbjes, at the first trimester it is advisable not to drink any "Bu tang", just eat and sleep well. For your info, Shi Chuan Da Bu Tang 十全大补汤 is confirm not suitable for pregnant mothers (this I checked with EYS before).
 
If want to "bu".. tcm tell me to double boil the chicken.. and drink the essence. Thats the only thing he ask me to do during the 1st tri..
 
Oh no... I drank 十全大补汤 last week. My MIL didn't know I pregnant yet and I also blur blur just drank
 
averie, I guess you should be fine if it's a one off thing (and I guess you are very early so u have not tested yet). 十全大补汤 is actually very heaty so it's not recommended when confirm preggy. Since u know pregnant now, just be more careful.

If u are worried, just go to chinese medical hall/EYS to ask abt it.

bu tang is only for confinement i guess? but dont drink too much of it now cause after you give birth you have got 1 month to drink . haha . hope it helps :)
