Is this normal??

Question

i’m two weeks postpartum and i literally can’t stomach any food. i keep forgetting to eat because i don’t feel hungry at all & on top of caring for a newborn.. i just forget!! i have been eating but i get full very fast and it’s kind of frustrating. anybody else deal with this?

Answer

This happened to me when I had my daughter. I lost SO much weight but I was so unhealthy. I felt depressed and sluggish. I would definitely try at least doing smoothies. I know it sounds like a lot of work but it’s really not! I took one day to cut up a bunch of fruit and some spinach and prep my smoothies in containers. That way I could just pull out a container, throw in ice and sometimes frozen yogurt and then would tend to baby as it blended! I had a magic bullet so the blender WAS my shaker cup. I didn’t have to pour it into anything. Just pop a lid on it and call it a day! Sounds like a lot of work but honestly it was easier than taking the time to make meals!

Answer

Definitely make sure that you are eating and drinking your water! You can survive like that for a good bit of time but eventually it will catch up with you and you will feel like crap. You need you energy and you need to make sure you aren’t dehydrated. I know new borns are demanding (2 weeks pp with #3 over here) but make some time just for you to grab something to at least snack on and a glass of water

Answer

I was nauseous while pregnant and it didnt go away for a few weeks after. I think it was the hormones.

Answer

I had no appetite for a long time so I ended up getting pre-made smoothies, as well as things I could grab easily that didn’t require work (everything is so much work when you’re in pain and taking care of a little person) like protein bars, croissants and pastries, fruit that I didn’t have to peel or cut like pears, apples, grapes, plums... I’d try to eat every time baby ate and have a glass of water every time she ate as well.. easier said than done but my appetite came back eventually!
