Pregnancy Guide #6 - Chinese Tonic Soup

My MIL swears by brewing Chinese Tonic Soup called ‘Ba Zhen’ which literally means Eight Treasures during my first 3 months of pregnancy with Ross. There are eight types of herbs and the chinese medical hall usual sells them in a packet. However, this time round as i was sick for most of my first trimester, yesterday’s brew was just the 2nd one that i had.

Ba Zhen is good for ladies with painful monthly menstrual cramps as well. With regards to pregnancy, it serves as a tonic for helping with the pregnancy. However, during first trimester, you will have to ask the medical hall uncle to lessen the dosage of 1 of the herbs inside the package. Tried to ask MIL what is that particular herb, she cant pronounced it in Chinese
