Bread during confinement

Dear mommies, just curious if anyone has been advised NOT to eat bread during confinement? The reason given is that bread will cause bloating since our digestive system will be weakened after giving birth. Not sure if this is at all true or just some old wives’ tale.

FIL making fun of our child’s name

I WAS SO FURIOUS, but decided to ignore him since my husband didn’t say anything as well. The more I thought about it, the angrier I became.

Craving food with salad veg

Hi all! Currently 10w +, and I have an immense craving for Subway sandwiches and Stuff’d burrito bowls, both containing a good amount of fresh salad veggies. I’m wary that salad greens sold outside may not be washed thoroughly. Any mommies-to-be with the same dilemma and any solutions/replacement?
