For those that follow a special diet after giving birth what do you guys eat? I remember eating homemade chicken soup after I had my son and I wasn’t allowed to eat it after 3 days because the chicken was too old. Really looking forward to my moms cooking again 😊
@anap1012 what culture? If you dont mind me asking. . .
@mommyof4plus2, I’m Mexican on my moms side. Some of them are extremely strict on things you should do especially the old school grandmas. One of my moms friends was not allowed to get out of bed period unless to go to use the bathroom for a few weeks. Couldn’t walk around barefoot. Always had to be covered with a blanket or sweater. Some even stuffed cotton balls in their ears. Their theory is once you give birth everything in your body is open so you have to be treated like a newborn basically. Back then the doulas would be caring for them or family. It sounds crazy but watching people walk around the mall with a 2 week old is pretty crazy to us lol
I breastfed and it was hard to eat bkz I wasn’t hungry so I lost a lot of weight from not eating and from breastfeeding . Lol I wasn’t on a diet or anything wenever I tried to eat I would take a few bites and be full
Oh no I was always starving when I was breastfeeding. I lost a bunch of weight cause I didn’t have time to eat myself xD

I love making my whole chicken in a pot like this 😋🙃
Whats everyone eating/ate tonight?
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Every time I eat I feel like I have something stuck in the back of my throat after. It's driving me insane
I guess I'm making my cornbread dressing after all!! Got everthing I need except chicken gizzards so I substituted the gizzards for chicken!! This will be my first time making it!!
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
I breastfed with all my babies and It kept me hungry burning carbs and stuff. I want to diet and lose weight in the weeks of Maternity but idk how to with out messing up my supply.
