Healthy diet & foods that must be avoided during pregnancy

This post is for the preggies :

A healthy diet for preggies must always consist of 5 daily portions of fruit and vege. This is particularly important and must always make sure that a balanced diet with sufficient carbo, proteins, minerals & vitamins as well as plenty of fibre to help prevent constipation (especially good for woman who have incompetence cervix) like me. Yes, constipation is usually a common complaint during pregnancy.

Folic acid is important and must be consumed 400mcg daily for at least 3 months before conception if possible, if already pregnant - to take once positive aka BFP. Folic acid also can be found in green leafy vegetables like spinach (i took a lot of spinach during my pregnancy) and also via supplements.

I took so much supplements during my pregnancy that i hope i can still list down a few.. but of course prescribe by the gynae ... Including Folic Acid, Iron tabs, Calcium tabs, DHA tabs (tried Natal care plus and NeuroGain, but Natal care plus is rather fishy and when burp can smell the fishy smell therefore prefered brand is NeuroGain), progesterone for some to "An Tai" (Oh progesterone is not cheap .. if i can remember its abt $100 plus for a weeks supply .. depending on Gynae's prescription too - comes in tablet, insertion and jabs form)

There are so many foods that should be avoided once BFP as they may cause harm to the unborn baby. Food includes pate - unless they are pasteurized, unpasterized dairy products such as blue cheese, undercook meat - my all time fav medium rare beef, undercook eggs - another all time fav half boil eggs, shellfish - gosh another fav like lala, "tua tow", the "Hum @ newton" with cold beer hahaha .. , Dang Gui (said to cause miscarriage if taken), Rojak, Sushi, Cold stuff etc... Well actually the list is never ending.. for the benefits of the baby.. "REN". For coffee and tea drinker like me.. its better to cut down on caffeine intake or reduce and if "Kiasu" like me i 90% reduced my intake of caffeine like maybe 1 cup a week or 1 cup fortnightly untill i totally cut off and switched to 100% Mummy's milk - Similac, Anmum or Enfamum..(prefered brand Similac as Enfa n Anmum give me rather bad heartburn), well not to say all alcohol and smokers must stop this habit totally.

Guess this is a long post.... yes i know i know.. my babies... haha.. exclusive will come later... be patient...
