Finally at 38 weeks! Every day feels like a week lol. My appetite has gotten smaller again — doctor said it's the baby dropping. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Sleep is getting so bad in the third trimester — how are you all coping? I've been drinking warm milk with honey before bed, seems to help a little. Anyone else have sleep tips to share?

Tried pork liver congee today — surprisingly delicious! Added goji berries and ginger, zero gamey taste. At 28 weeks with low haemoglobin, this is my new go-to ❤️

Can anyone recommend a full postpartum meal plan? Due soon and want to prepare in advance. My MIL wants to make rice wine chicken but I don't drink alcohol — is there a traditional alternative?

Week 3 postpartum — making black sesame congee every morning and my milk supply has noticeably improved! Added red dates and walnuts, so comforting 🥛

My morning sickness is so severe I can barely eat — is baby getting enough nutrition? 9 weeks, surviving on congee and crackers. Any gentle ways to sneak in nutrients?

Salmon fried rice — the easiest way to get DHA during pregnancy! Pan-fried fresh salmon in olive oil, tossed with rice. Amazing flavour. My top recommendation for the second trimester!

Made seaweed egg drop soup in 10 minutes flat — perfect quick pregnancy soup! Seaweed is rich in iodine which is so important. Added dried shrimp for calcium, one egg, a sprinkle of scallion. Light and delicious 🥣

What soups are good during pregnancy? My mother-in-law insists on daily bone broth for calcium but I worry it's too rich. Any lighter calcium-rich soup recommendations?

How long after a C-section before eating normally? Day 5 postpartum, still on rice water. When can I have real food? I miss eating so much 😭

Made the black sesame tofu soup today — perfect for T3! So calcium-rich, silky smooth, and really filling. Five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Into T2 now! Belly is showing and appetite is finally back. Made the pork rib soup today — iron + calcium in one bowl!
