One of them claimed to have read over 200 books during her pregnancy and I was really shocked to hear that because I can see how tired Felin is after work everyday and I doubt she can even complete a single book for the next 6 months. She told me that its a must to read the book called "What to expect when you are expecting."
She said that this book is able to help conceiving mothers to clearly understand how her body changes and what she can do to help the growth and development of the baby throughout the pregnancy period. She also encourage conceiving mothers to read further on books on what to expect when baby is 0-1yrs old and carry on, etc... She said that its a must to read ahead because there will be little time and more tiring when the babies are born.
I actually tried looking for this book in the Library on Monday but I couldn't find it. Felin was so tired that she cannot wait for me to search for books in the Library. She needs to go back home asap.
Another thing I learnt during the weekend is on this supplement called "Fenugreek". I was informed that this supplement really help mothers to have more breast milk when the babies are born.
I researched from Internet and it was written...
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenumgraecum) is an annual Mediterranean and Asiatic herb with aromatic seeds. It is used around the world as a culinary spice and food that is soothing to the stomach.
Women have used the spice fenugreek since ancient times in the Middle East, North Africa, and India to stimulate milk flow. Research has shown that fenugreek can increase milk production as much as 900 percent, although no one knows exactly how. The oil contained in fenugreek seeds is believed to play a role in boosting milk supply
From Forum, it was recommended to have it just before labour so that milk can start flowing from day 2 or 3 onwards. Most mothers reported increased milk flow after taking this supplement. Well... Think this is good info for the moment.
