thanks sarah...I have taken note of Bradenburg Concertos by Bach and probably purchase them at a local dvd store. I'll also take your advice on researching regarding growth hormone.

Hello dear parents, I'm on my 25th week of pregnancy to my dear baby boy. I would like to ask if you know any growth-inducing techniques or food or anything to help my son grow a little taller than us, parents. You see, I am only 5 feet and 1 inch in height whereas my DH is only 4 inches taller than me...so, genetically speaking, my unborn son will probably be only at that range of height.

Is  there any help around that I can give to my son so he can be a few inches taller than he's supposed to be? Like, do I need to feed him more milk, or does he need to nap a little longer?

Your input will be very appreciated.

hi butterfly 320, yes, msg from junk food as well as cola drinks are harmful for babies. I had that craving too until now, but I try to substitute cola drinks with the lesser evil, sweetened natural drinks like nestea, coconut juice and other fruit shakes. Plus, if the craving is really that hard to resist, I take a sip or two but not too much since my baby may get sickly once she's born.

So if you can avoid it, please do, for you and your baby's sake.

Take note that I had been sick twice due to cola drinks (during my 2nd and 3rd month of pregnancy)

Ciao

welcome to the forum, sugarprinces! I also have been lurking in this site for sometime and it's very informative and useful.

Regarding your use of babyplus, how was it? Any remarkable thing/show off experienced by your baby?

Thanks for sharing.

more than a year na ang latest reply...pero reply pa rin ako.

Hello, ako po si Sharlene, tubong Bicol pero nagtatrabaho dito sa Bangkok.  Kasalukuyan, ako ay 6 na buwang buntis at eto pasalamat sa site na to kasi marami akong natututunan lalo na sa pag-enhance ng katalinuhan ng isang sanggol.Whew! Hirap magTagalog ah..hehe.

Medyo mahal para sa akin ang LR, kaya eto ako nagpprint ng mga flashcards at gumagawa na lang ng PP presentations para pag 4 months na ang baby ko eh, maipakita ko sa kanya. Sa tingin nyo ba, sapat na yon? O dapat tlga akong kumuha ng LR?

Salamat sa magre-reply. Mabuhay po ang mga pinoy nanays!

hi nadia, I just finished reading your blog and got so inspired with Cammie's achievements..congratulations for having a very smart baby. I am also a Filipino but living here in Thailand, I am on my 26th week of pregnancy now and I would like to know as to how you started...I mean in teaching Cammie. Please share some tips..

Thanks.

Sharlene

Ayesha,

Thanks for your reply..have you taken Dr.Sears Omega Rx during your pregnancy? I checked the site...but I'm still in doubt if it is safe for pregnant women.

nhockaday, I hope you can remember the brand so I can also check it in the local drugstore.
thanks for the tips...

I have another problem tho, and it scares me to hell...you see, I have my teeth braces still(I know I'm too old for this ) but I guess my dentist didn't do a good job locking the wires last month during the adjustment so it went loose, about an inch long. I had a hard time eating since last night because of the loose wire, I tried to cut it off this morning but to no avail. So I decided I will call my dentist for his earliest schedule to have the wire cut and readjust my teeth braces. Problem happened after lunch today, I didn't feel the loose wire anymore, I think it was cut, yet I didn't notice it. Now I am afraid that I could have swallowed it unintentionally and scared that it may affect my baby or worse my baby can digest that wire and lead to complications for my pregnancy. I don't know what to do, I am just praying that I spat it out and not swallowed it. Any advice?

wow..thank you all for your replies! Now I am more confident to take folic acid and fish oil. BTW, can anyone recommend a good antenatal omega3 brand and from which site?

hi diego,

actually, that video brought me to this site also..and now I am hooked! I felt excited knowing that my soon-to-be-born baby has actually the capacity to read at 12 months. Can't help but salute the father of Felicity.

Good luck to us..why don't you try the Little REader first..I believe they have free trial.

thanks nikki..I sure will!

Hello everyone..this is my second post and I love the information that I get from this site.Thank you all.

I am on my 19th week now and had monthly antenatal check ups with my gynae since the 2nd month since I didn't know I was preggy till that time. But then, he only gave me folic acid for that month and afterwards only Iron supplements had been handed for me to take. I am afraid this is not enough since  I read from the internet that some pregnant women take folic acid full term plus they take omega3 supplements/fish oil. Is it safe to take fish oil supplements until my due date?

Thanks for your reply.
