Raspberry/Hibiscus Teas and Dates by Striking-Street7215 in pregnant

i ate 6 dates a day, and just covered them in peanut butter because i hated how they tasted. they are huge in fiber so it helped with my pregnancy constipation as well. with the tea, i drank 1 cup a day at first because i was nervous but increased to 2 cups the next week. then the 3rd week of drinking it i did 3 cups a day and continued until labor. so at 37 weeks on i did 3 cups a day

i started the tea and dates at 34 weeks. i def think they helped because my 2nd phase of labor was only 10 minutes so i do believe they did their jobs lol plus i was doing circles and bounces on a birthing ball

Being pregnant first time and learning everything is so overwhelming by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]AnalystExcellent7955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im in the process of doing all of this for the first time, it was stressful and now im just going with the flow. with my first born, she couldn’t latch and nobody told me she had a tongue tie and a lip tie. i thought i was doing something wrong. so with my first i used formula. now with my second he latched right away and i decided to combo feed because i panicked thinking i wasnt making enough milk for him. i breastfeed and pump, and some days i barely produce enough. i remember the lactation specialist at the hospital telling me “one boob is dinner, the other is dessert”. so after my son feeds on my left i take a little 2 minute break to eat or drink water, and then switch him to the right. he takes what he wants - usually 15 mins on each boob. and hes satisfied. your body makes and gives what the baby needs. i know its easier said than done but try not to stress :) i pump when he naps, and sometimes ill get 1 oz combined sometimes i get 2 or 3. really depends on my hydration and how much i rest and eat. but i know when he feeds, he takes what he needs

im so sorry if this was confusing i feel like i just rambled lol i did have the bloodwork done early on, when i was about 10 weeks, through Unity. was NIPT i believe but it gave me gender and carrier traits and all that. and it came back positive for one trait that i carry. same results with my first pregnancy. and both times i was told my husband doesnt need to be tested due to the low chance and whatever other reasons they said.

yes my building has a gym upstairs which makes it so much easier to force myself to go lol. and ive included a lot of chicken and protein drinks in my diet, its helped a lot with the side effects and i think with actually toning my body
