Beyond question, motherhood is the most beautiful experience with desperate straits at intervals. And the instant baby is born, the challenges apparently increase.
To keep that frame of mind right, several moms-to-be these days have to dig up amazing hacks.
Jessica May Magill revealed that just days prior to her delivery, she prepared an astounding 152 meals and 228 snacks when she was 37 weeks pregnant to save time after her fourth child is born.
Jessica made a decision to get in a fit state for her fourth child’s arrival. She wanted to make those sleep-deprived early days of a new baby easier for her entire family. With swollen ankle joints and nearly-ready to pop, the mother cooked up an array of snacks, pre-school meals, desserts and the likes for her family.
“Everything I made was vegan (except for kids' scrolls) and lots are nut free for preschool lunch boxes, showing you can eat yummy food with allergies or food preferences,” Jessica explained to Healthy Mummy. “I know I will be starving while breastfeeding and my kids are massive snackers, so now I can relax and know we all have healthy options sorted,” she added further.
