Hating my Supplements

Dr. Eric gave me 3 types of supplement capsules.

1st of all is the huge gigantic Calcium pill called Calcium Plus Bio-Enhanced by Abbott. My god, it is so big that if I accidentally swallowed it horizontally, I could actually feel the movement of the pill slowly in my throat all the way to my stomach. It's a nasty feeling.

Next is the Fish Oil capsule called NeuroGainPB. It is supposed to come packed with concentrated fish oil with all the good nutrients such as DHA, EPA, AA, OA, etc.

Lastly is the smelly capsule called Sangobian Capsule by Merck. It is supposed to be consists of folic acid, iron, etc. This pill makes me slightly constipated and causes me to have black stool. And when i burp, the smell of this capsule is yucky!!!

I am supposed to continue with all these capsules throughout my pregnancy...sigh!!!

Anmum Materna - for pregnant women

Mum introduced her friend, Angie to me. Mum told me she should be able to give me plenty of good advice as she is someone who "ate quality, and not quantity".

Angie told me to start drinking Anmum Materna - for pregnant women, even though I am only at the stage of "trying to concieve". This is because Anmum has many nutrients (such as folate/folic asid, calcium & iron) to help make my body strong and healthy.

I listened to her advice and went over to Tesco, but it was out-of-stock. Drove to Sunshine Square and saw it! However, it was in a bigger pack of 900g and it costs RM41.80. (Angie told me it was only RM36 7 mths ago)! Arggh..inflation!



I initially wanted to try a smaller tin as I was unsure if I can consume milk in powder form. It has been more than 15 yrs since i last drank milk in powder form. I usually take fresh milk - cold!

So i bought the original flavour and not chocolate flavour (although i love chocolate) because there are reviews saying that chocolate flavour has cocoa powder which means lesser nutrient contents. I don't know how true it is but whatever is best for my future bundle of joy will be my choice!

Now I am going to get used to not only taking milk in powder form, but to have it hot as well!
Well, for my future bundle of joy, i am going to do it!
