Glucose Test during pregnancy (MGTT)

If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, it might be good idea to start educating yourself on watching your diet especially your sugar intake to prevent complications to the fetus.

Basically the test is done once unless there are family history or age factor which may warrant a second test in the third trimester.

To read on more information on how the test is done, click glucose-test-during-pregnancy-mgtt.

Below is an excerpt found in the KKIA booklet educating on pregnancy and diabetes.

Eyeshadow primer - Urban Decay vs Too Faced


Eyeshadow primer.. the cream that makes your eyeshadow stay put could possible be the least found item in any person's makeup bag, at least in Malaysia.

But I have tried it and it works especially for women whose eyeshadow tends to melt or smudge and become nearly non-existent at the end of the day.

For a comparison between the infamous Urban Decay and Too Faced eyeshadow primer read eyeshadow-primer-urban-decay-vs-too-faced

DHA for pregnancy - Neurogain PB vs GNC

If you are pregnant then you need to start taking your DHA at least from week 18.

If you are thinking that the DHA from the milk formula is enough, well it is recommended that pregnant woman consume at least 250mg of DHA daily.
