Thank you for all the wonderful advice! I haven’t heard of taking chlorophyll postpartum but I’m gonna ask my midwife about it! :)

Chlorophyll !!!! I totally recommend it. I used it with my third child, recommended by my midwife, and had the most amazing postpartum. You take 2 tablespoons mixed with a full glass of water. I drank it within an hour after birth and with every meal…it’s amazing how it helps your body!, also, Bulkherbstore.com, mamas milk tea or the new mama kit. The tea is amazing and the evens salve for baby’s bottom. All organic. The tea has red raspberry to strengthen the uterus and help it clamp down, dandelion to help aid in safe natural detoxing ( which the body partly does after birth anyway) fennel to help bring milk supply. Best of wishes…so excited for you. Oh also, freezer meals are great for when no one is around to help you, so after the mamas leave. And I always crave fresh veggies after birth for the first month…especially greens. Don’t be afraid to stock up at the store when in early labor.

I have just a few words of advice. Enjoy your child, they grow up so fast. When your child is born…try not to pass him around. Discourage people touching his hands especially little children. Do not talk “baby” talk to your little boy. As a preschool teacher doing that will hinder his speech. I am very happy for you! Take care! Pat B

You’re welcome! Oh and my daughter arrived in the middle of the night at 37 weeks. I was so unprepared! No frozen meals… not even a car seat! Get cooking and freezing. You will be super glad you did. Luckily my wonderful Mother in law arrived on my doorstep each Tuesday with groceries, cooked up a storm and stocked my freezer. She did lots of beef pies (we mainly eat savoury pies in Australia), quiches, pasta sauce etc. Was a life saver!

Woah Beth you are a super Mama rockstar! I really appreciate your advice. Planning to go natural so I’m going to have to find the strength somewhere in my mind! :)
