Braving the First-Trimester

(ehem! check out my new 50mm F1.7)

Sejak Izza ber “Um” ni, banyaklah petua-petua dan tips yang kami dapat from family and friends especially on braving the First-trimester. For your information, the First-trimester period is where all the major body organs and systems of the fetus are forming and this is a very critical period where most miscarriages occur during this time. To know more, just click here.

Here I have compiled all the tips and petuas I’ve received. Some maybe true, some are quite outrageous… you do the judgment. Anyway in medical, our doctor said there is no pantang-larang, but she said also there is no harm in dengar nasihat orang-orang tua dan yang berpengalaman.

So tanpa melengahkan masa lagi.."Hey girls...hey boys.. superstar Djs..Here we goooo...!"

1. Ramai cakap jangan makan makanan yang “tajam”. Contohnya Nenas, tebu, lime etc.

3. Somebody said jangan makan kepala ikan – nanti anak tu otak lembab

4. Z cakap dari awal ni makan kismis – bagi otak dia cerdas

10. R dan M cakap jangan kuat-kuat semasa menjalankan “tanggung jawab” sebagai seorang

12. Ada orang cakap jangan banyak makan kicap. Nanti Um hitam…hmmm?

20. Tips from email forwards: Do lots of mathematical exercise, eat fruits and keep a healthy living.

21. B messaged pulak – “good luck in dealing with her pregnancy hormones”..hmmm

22. Sungguh ramai cakap don't get too excited during the First-Trimester. R even told me not to buy any baby stuff. Tunggu sampai 6-7 months.
