Prep

Your first meal postpartum 🍲🤰🏻🌟💗 Make sure to LIKE, SHARE, FOLLOW and SAVE for the future to revisit 🌟 I love prepping meals and snacks for my momma clients especially if they will be away from home for their birth. I can only speak from my own experience, but most hospitals at least in my hometown are lacking in nourishing post birth meals. 👀 Things most hospitals here include in their menu: ❌ Pb&J sandwiches ❌ Non organic steak and potatoes ❌ Lasagna ❌ Orange juice in a box ❌ Crackers ❌ Packaged salad While all foods are fuel (I never want to say any food is wrong for you because we are all unique), there are some foods that are BEST fuel after birth for healing tender postpartum bodies. 🥹🍲💗✨ Here are some nourishing ways to prep for your hospital post birth meal and snacks ⬇️ Focus on foods that are: 💗 nutrient dense 💗easy digestible 💗warm foods These foods can look like: 💗pumpkin muffins with simple ingredients and healing fats 💗turkey meatball soup with protein, minerals and cooked down veggies 💗gingerbread bliss bites for warming spices and quick protein bites Comment PREP for these 3 free recipes 🌟🌟🌟 #postpartum #sandiegomoms #postpartumsandiego #sandiegodoula #postpartumdoula #thefourthtrimester #thefirstfortydays #healing #48hoursafterbirth #postpartumfoods #healingfoods #postpartummealprep #mealprep #thirdtrimesterproblems #thirdtrimesterfeels #postpartumdiet Thank you for commenting PREP🌟🌟🌟🌟 I hope you enjoy! 🌟 Pumpkin muffin recipe premiers on Monday at 9am on my blog 😉 www.meganlimondoula.com/journal/make-my-gingerbread-raw-balls-recipe www.meganlimondoula.com/journal/uthnz9w5tgsgd5s7p8idg4j544kh6n Favorite soup freezer pods www.amazon.com/dp/B0CGKM8J2L?ref=t_ac_view_request_product_image&campaignId=amzn1.campaign.1S6HC1LQF52NO&linkCode=tr1&tag=meganlimon-20&linkId=amzn1.campaign.1S6HC1LQF52NO_1726243367665 Have you enrolled in The Postpartum Course: Heal, Nourish, Cocoon?

so your having a baby in 2024 🍲🤰🏻🌟💗 Make sure to LIKE, SHARE, FOLLOW and SAVE for the future to revisit 🌟 I always make sure that a postpartum visit includes some meal prep! Some mommas want to devote a session per week just to making nourishing foods, some prefer one hour of some quick protein bites. And other mommas love to book prenatal sessions with me to prep everything like soups and stews before baby arrives. If you are dreaming of all the postpartum meal prep, let me share my recipes with you. This is what I made in this session: 🌟Egg bites - these were dairy free since my momma client needs that while feeding her baby 🌟Bliss balls - I love making quick bites and these are a go to for my clients, simple and easy + PROTEIN packed! 🌟Organ meatballs - you can take the organ meats out but definitely look into making some meatballs. Throw them on congee, stewed veggies or just eat them plain. More protein my friends - more!

Hydrated postpartum mommas don’t gatekeep 🤱🏼🤰🏻🍹💦 Make sure to LIKE, SHARE, FOLLOW and SAVE for the future to revisit 🌟 Hydration during pregnancy and postpartum is super essential 💦 I encourage mommas to look at their water source and truly notice that most don’t offer the minerals our bodies need. I rather a momma invest in spring mineral water than using fancy water filters to find that their tap water contains very little minerals and a whole lot of fluoride. I’ll leave that research to you - we all have different feelings on what is nourishing water. But let’s dive into additional ways to hydrate ⬇️ 💗warming soup with bone broth - love the minerals 💗watermelon and lemonades - sometimes this is the best motivation for hydration without using electrolyte packets of sugar 💗herbal lattes - delish! I love adding coconut milk to an herbal tea and before you know it, you’ll be craving them! 💗popsicles - take a simple spring water, add some blueberry juice, a squeeze of lemon and some basil with wild honey and you have the best treat.

4 Tips to Prepare for a Cesarean🥹 Make sure to LIKE, SHARE and SAVE for the future to revisit this reel ✨ As you prepare for your cesarean, there are some essentials to include in your plan. I love empowering families everyday that they can have a thriving healing postpartum journey no matter the kind of birth they have. My guide ⬇️ 1. Prepare for rest - meaning you will need to schedule time to sleep for your healing. Ask friends and family now to help you for that first 1-3 weeks after birth. 2. Focus on quality over quantity - prepare for less heavy foods for after birth. Start with preparing easy digestible nutrient dense meals and freeze a bunch of meals before birth. 3. Pack a really healing birth bag - need inspo? Check out my blog 4. Prepare for movement - movement is essential for inflammation and that can look like moving gently around your bedroom for the first week after birth. Give your body grace and time to heal.

make my sitz bath herbal cubes for postpartum 🌸🪴🌸 Make sure to LIKE, SHARE and SAVE for the future to revisit this reel 🪴 This year one our “in’s” are preparing for slower healing recovery. And our biggest “out” is pushing ourselves to be healed at 6 weeks. K..no…bye! 🧺🫶🏼 My believe has always been that if we prepare for postpartum in a healing light, we shift into caring for ourselves in an intimate way. We spend so much effort to conceive for the most part: vitamins, workouts, reading…what about our relationship with postpartum? How much effort are you putting towards healing during postpartum? I love to show mommas a few ways to incorporate healing elements like herbs and florals. These ice cubes make sitz baths so much easier. The reality is that making an herbal sitz bath takes time that most times we don’t devote to ourselves. When you spend 5 minutes prenatally to make these for yourself, there is a new shift of energy towards your postpartum healing.

things I wish I knew….👩🏻‍🍼👩🏼‍🍼🤱🏾 a postpartum series Make sure to LIKE, SHARE and SAVE for the future to revisit this reel 🤍 I asked my clients of late what was something they wished they knew prenatally to prepare for their postpartum journey. I will be showcasing different topics my actual clients felt surprised, enlightened and caught off guard about. The kind of things we talk about in session of course. But things you might not read in a book or an article about postpartum. Or perhaps things our friend circles feel too bashful or afraid to mention. Let’s be real here. Let’s normalize here. Let’s share. ⬇️ This weeks topic: 🤱🏾👩🏼‍🍼👩🏻‍🍼 Feeling disconnected with your baby after birth- not feeling bonded immediately 🤍Why does it happen? 🌷Trauma of previous loss 🌷Difficult and lengthily birth 🌷Birth trauma - happened too fast without being able to process 🌷Lack of support 🌷Personality - we are all so unique and connect differently and at different times 🤍How to help? 🌷Talk to your practitioner always 🌷Rest and time to recover 🌷Snuggle baby when it feels comfortable and listen to your body when it’s not 🌷Share your feelings with a trusted friend and/or hire a therapist 🌷Allow yourself time to connect with baby and your motherhood- there’s no need to shame or force yourself 🌷Spend time smelling your baby’s head - yep you read that right! It can help in so many ways including bonding! 🌷Journal your feelings, make a space for negative thoughts, positive thoughts and ultimate desires. Allow yourself to see your thoughts on paper as scary or big as they might be. 🌷Hire support to help heal yourself - sometimes our inner child needs to be tended too in moments of new huge changes. 🌷Speak to your doula for a little more TLC while your body and MIND does its amazing healing thing! We are here to talk with you and support you through the silence too. Comment HEAL for the links to my favorite resources as you navigate these feelings 🤍🌼🥹 #postpartum #sandiegomoms #postpartumsandiego #sandiegodoula #postpartumdoula #thefourthtrimester #thefirstfortydays #healing #bellybind #nourishingfoods #postpartummeals #postpartumhealing I’d love to hear, did you experience delayed connection and bonding with your baby? What helped you? I know this can be a topic that isn’t spoken much about - can we change that? Can we be transparent that these thoughts and emotions do happen and share it with others? If you ever need someone to chat about these thoughts and emotions please feel free to message myself or any other doula. We are here to help! 🤍 Thank you for commenting HEAL 🌷 I hope you enjoy! postpartumhealthalliance.org kellymom.com www.postpartum.net/mother-infant-bonding-its-not-always-instant/ The Postpartum Course: Heal, Nourish, Cocoon is now available!
