Hispanic grandma and her beliefs about a special diet after c section.
Hey everyone. so I've had 2 c sections. I'm currently 8 weeks pp with repeat c section. My grandma believes that after a major surgery a girl's gotta be on a special diet to avoid any infections or complications after a cesarean. Meaning NO anything but chicken or beef meat. With my 1st i listened to her and followed her directions. Didn't eat anything but chicken and beef meat (cesina) till about 4/6 months pp. Just last sunday i met my mother in law's friend who had 2 c sections. She mentioned she ate everything after her c sections and she never had any sort of complications! so since im 8 weeks pp already im trying to get back to my normal eating habits but I'm afraid bcus with 1st c section i did all my grandma said and ate all she said according to her timeline... i never had an issue with my outside scar or inside cut. So ik its ridiculous and yes we are mexican. Im here to ask how many of you didn't follow any sort of special diet and had NO COMPLICATIONS what so ever with healing after your cesarean??? Being a little more specific into what my grandma thinks its bad, would definitely be pork meat. Bananas. Corn torillas. Eggs. Chile (Spicy things, salsas) Sour cream. Soda. Pineapples. Beans. Burgers. Pizza. Fried things. Watermelons. Tomatos. Basically everything lmao. but i think her concerns were also with foods giving me gas pain... but mainly according to her infection(s) wise was/is the main thing for this diet thinggggggg!😐
