Milk powder ; Snacks ; Weight Gain

i bring a bottle of pregnant multi-vitamins and emma milk powder while going to visit the gynae, to show her the label/contents on these 2 bottles.

-- multi-vitamins: she mentions i can continue with these multi-vitamins, and take it as an alternate basis. so 1 day iron & folic acid pills for me, the next day 1 serving of multi-vitamins.

-- milk powder: the direction on the milk powder mentions to drink 2-3 cups a day, with 5-6 scoops of milk powder to warm water.
my gynae tells me not to take milk powder everyday as a regular item. but rather to drink it as a snack or when i feel like it. jeff and me ask "why?". she mentions many of her patients who drinks milk powder regularly everyday puts on a lot of weight, but the baby weight gain is not in proportionate. she mentions if i have no appetite, i can drink the milk powder. but if i am eating well, no need for regular/often drinking basis. we heed her advice.

-- snacks: right now, i do not have cravings of potato cheaps or twisties as snacks. so, so far still ok. i have stock-up fruits in office and at home. and also tunas, peanut butter and jams. so if i feel like snacking or eat something, i will eat fruits or soda biscuits with the toppings. else, i will drink milk or milk powder.

-- weight gain: i shall buy a weighing scale at home. will monitor weight gain now, and i hope i gain weight slowly and in moderations.

realise i am taking more efforts in my nutrition lately, and more afraid of too much weight gain. last time i always have the concept, pregnant is the happiest time, cause dun have to worry about the extra pounds i gain, as i love to eat.
wonder if i love to look better in this phase of my life or a maternal instinct, or physchoed by jeffrey tang, that i look into healthy eating now and just want a balance including my weight gain. more weight-conscious compared to pre-pregnancy. strange. :)
