Salams n hi everyone :)

am entering my third trimester and I hv about 11 weeks (plus minus) more to go. This is how the baby is suppose to look like heheheee… (photo courtesy of babycenter.com)

And some people says, when u are in ur 7 months, it’s quite critical and u hv to take care of yourself very very careful.  If u are not lucky enough, u can experience a pre-mature birth… try hard not to fall, some said to me. And the most important thing is, when u r 29 weeks pregnant, u need to double up all the nutritional needs for ur baby. Means tht I hv to consume food tht contains protein, calsium, iron, vitamin C and folic acid more than usual.

In addition, Ramadhan is around the corner and I decided to do my fasting even though am pregnant. But hv to make sure I don’t skip my sahur. Can’t wait for fasting month, dunno why but am so excited!! :D Hopefully I can cope up with all the mess (wake up early to prepare sahur), and survive the whole month, insya Allah… heeee

And I already plan to put oats, whole meal bread, cereals on my menu during fasting month because that’s the only way to keep me going during the month. And of course, nasi, meat, and all nutritional food is oso on the menu. The easiest way to prepare one meal with all the vitamins and minerals tht I need for my energy source and oso to keep the baby fed is by eating cereals with a full cream milk and anmum materna. Sometimes I drink hot horlicks because it contains iron and folic acid.

Nestle’ fitness cereal? I know, some of u might think tht why I chose this type of cereals. It’s for people who is on diet??!!

nop, it’s not…. It is definitely suitable for pregnant lady oso because it contains all the vitamins and minerals tht I need. See, it contains 450 mg calcium and a lot of folic acid. During third trimester, about 200 mg calcium is deposited in baby’s bones. So, if am consume the cereal everyday, it should covered my baby’s need and oso myself heeeee ^-^v so, this is so gonna be in my menu for sahur…

To add the ‘spice’ up, I ate it with Dutch Lady full cream milk… oso high in protein and calcium, good enough for my baby and me for a day.

Dutch Lady full cream milk

Hot horlicks oso a good source of calcium and iron… ;)

** o ya, for Muslims, if u r pregnant and fasting, u r advice to take a light meal during berbuka instead of heavy meal. Let ur tummy rest for about two hours (paling sesuai lepas solat sunat terawih) then u can have ur heavy meal, makan nasi and lauk pauk… and don’t forget to drink a glass of hot milk during sahur and berbuka :)

**hhmmm can’t wait for my next review next week, 13th July. and another appointment with the doctor on 28th July, which worries me a bit… last time appointment, doctor diagnosed me with ‘placenta low’ and if it gets serious it will be a placenta preavia. I’ve been keeping a post about placenta preavia in my draft. had to make sure about my condition first (after 28th la ya) then I can reveal it in my blog what it is all about. So, do pray for me n baby and keep on coming for more interesting pearly stories ya… till next post everyone,  wanna take my afternoon nap now… jelousnya tgk hubby and Meme’ sleeping soundly… mendung2 lagi ni… uuuwaaarrrghhhhh…. heeeeee   ^-^v
