One of my favourites during pregnancy is being able to indulge in birds nest almost every week after the 1st trimester and it's not the bottled ones I'm talking about but the one's we get from the medical shop that we need to double boil. Not sure why I like it but its refreshing for the throat. I have taken it for my last pregnancy as I heard it's good for the baby's complexion - baby will have a beautiful and glowing complexion, which I think is quite true as no. 1 was very fair at birth and still has very rosy complexion! And of cos it's good for my complexion and aids in digestion.
As for drinking coconut during the last trimester, it's meant to cleanse the baby of the greasy white substance that protects his skin from the amniotic fluid -- well that's what the old folks tell me. No harm trying this since the drink is so refreshing and cooling for the body -- pregnant mums will appreciate this since our body temperature tend to be higher than normal! So far have started drinking twice last week, and will need to get them at the supermarket weekly. Haiz... once confinement starts can't drink anything cooling /cold etc.. so must enjoy now!
