DHA, Calcium and Iron pills ; Put-on 2.8kg in 1 month

We go for check-up yesterday. glad everything goes ok. :)
i put on 2.8kg in the past month, which to the gynae is ok. she mentions to me to be ideal to put on 12-14kg in my pregnancy. i will come to the weight part in another topic.

jeff's colleague tells him his wife request for DHA pills, aka fish oil (good for baby's brain), and the gynae gives the pills to his wife in accordance.
so jeff ask about the need for prescription of DHA and calcium pills to me, and whether to continue with the iron pills.

the gynae tells me my blood count is very good. so for iron pills i will now take alternate days, instead of on a daily basis. she also mentions that she will advise not to prescribe DHA and calcium pills for me, since my blood count is good. and she is a firm believer in balance nutrition and just eat enough fishes will do, and not overeat. as she mentions as well that another side-effect of DHA pills is the fact of deep sea fish having mercury. so it is practically a 2-edge sword topic. then i ask about eating "shark's fins soup" at weddings. she mentions the shark's fins soup has only little sharks fins and taking a bowl once every week is harmless, none compared to the DHA pills.
well, so jeff and KK gynae just go nodding heads, while i listen. well their so called tagline "everythings just eat, but in moderations". i can hear jeff says this a few times every dae. so naggy.

it looks as if jeff is pregnant rather than me. am glad he actually talks to his colleagues to find out things as well, which although i think i already done enough homework. :)
