I personally think that all the recommended recipes are good for pregnancy especially "Pou Sum" it is to "Pu Zhi" strennthen your"Zhi" but make sure you use the good "Pou Sum" in English they call it ginseng which you can get it from U.S but not the Korean ginseng as the Korean ginseng are "heaty - the chinese term" and not suitable for pregnancy or even during confinement. You can continue to take the "pou sum" during confinement. During confinement you can use the "Pou Sum" also in the chicken soup the above mentioned recipe from Frivolous fashionista and if you are not breast feed the baby you can even add some "DOME". Only take ginseng (Korean)few months later after your confinement. Please do not take the "dungkui" as it will lighten your blood and will cause blooding none stop and it is very dangerous for the mother. Please! Please! avoid it. I know your feeling as I am also a mom of 2 boys. Be patience and enjoy your pregnancy, let it be natural and let the baby decide when he/she is ready to come out to see the world. No harm to wait for the precious moment. Remember a full term baby is easier to take care so be patience for just a short while.

But I did make some chicken soup without any "serious" chinese herbs. <BR/> <BR/>Chicken Soup<BR/>1 small organic chicken<BR/>2-3 carrots<BR/>Ginger, Optional (yes if you're still having some MS)<BR/>handful of wolfberries<BR/>handful of red dates<BR/><BR/>Dump everything into slow cooker and cook till chicken's done.<BR/>Add salt to taste (also optional) <BR/><BR/>I hope this help, I know that wolfberries and dates are pretty harmless when you're pregnant. And they add some natural sweetness to the soup, so do the carrots.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070650329237342074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11497809.post-1145361017184073972006-04-18T05:50:00.000-06:002006-04-18T05:50:00.000-06:00that sounds good.
