You have a child growing within your body. That child is alive within your body, so therefore you are a mother.

You shouldn't feel ashamed. It's ok to feel this way. Asking for help doesn't make you weak, infact it shows your strength that u r taking therapy to fight for your mental health.

It's always good to talk to an expert about this. it will reveal certain things that you may not be aware of and it will result in you taking actions towards your solution. Be positive and see what happens rather than concluding that nothing will happen..there is no question of feeling ashamed! You can use this platform too to make a start. There are Drs, mental health experts, join their community a ND ask your questions to start with. Tc, Preetha

Hey there, I am Pragya Arora, a clinical psychologist. Foods rich in omega 3 fatty acids such as walnuts, fish and flaxseeds can help with mood regulation. Incorporate lots of fruits and vegetables to support your mental well being. While a balanced diet is essential, you can further consult with me for personalised advice and strategies to tackle postpartum depression

Hey Here are some foods that can support breast feeding and lactation 1) Whole Grains: Whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and barley provide complex carbohydrates for sustained energy and are rich in vitamins and minerals like B vitamins and zinc. 2) oats- oats are rich in iron and is a good source of energy. It also helps in increasing the milk production. 3) leafy greens- such as spinach and methi leaves are rich in calcium, iron, and other vitamins and minerals 4) lean protein - Lean protein sources such as poultry, lean beef, tofu, and eggs provide essential amino acids for both mother and baby's growth and development. 5) calcium rich foods - Dairy products like milk, yogurt, and cheese are excellent sources of calcium, which is essential for bone health in both mother and baby. 6) Fatty fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for brain development in infants. They also provide protein and vitamin D. This vitamin D can help in calcium absorption.

Menurut situs resmi detikcom, setelah proses fertilisasi selama 18 jam berhasil, sel telur yg telah dibuahi dinamakan zigot. Zigot akan berkembang menjadi embrio yg menempel pada dinding rahim dalam rentang waktu 8-10 hari. Jika tidak terjadi apa-apa maka zigot akan berkembang menjadi fetus atau janin.

Hi there, I hope you are well. Postpartum your caloric requirements go high because you have to provide milk to the baby. Ideally, 550-600kcals is what is needed above and beyond your normal caloric intake. Moreover, your body needs to heal, recover, and gain strength during this phase. - You will have to follow a 2hrly eating pattern where you can opt for fruits, soups, roasted chana, makhana, handful nuts, sweet potato tikkis, a katori upma, etc. - You have to start your morning with Soaked almonds, and a date or two. - Have a healthy breakfast which has enough protein for recovery, fibre for better digestion, and healthy fats for recovery, and strength. - Mid-meals are important. - Drinking enough water is necessary, you can even have coconut water twice or thrice a week. - Cut down your caffeine intake, and have two glasses of milk daily, or if that's not possible have 1 Bowl of curd two times a day. - Eat more green leafy veggies, cauliflower, French beans, okra, & drumsticks

Hi there, I hope you are well. Ideally, there are a few foods or beverages that you should be cautious while consuming. - Fish- High mercury levels are found is certain fishes such as swordfish, king mackerel, tile fish, shark, blue fin tuna, sea bass, etc. These fishes are best avoided rather you can opt for salmon, shrimp, sardines, etc. - Alcohol- Alcohol is best avoided. However, occasional consumption once in a while not more than 30ml is okay but do reconfirm with your doctor before consumption. - Caffeine - Two small cups of caffeine are fine to consume but one should avoid going overboard. - Packaged, processed, and refined foods- These are okay to be consumed occasionally but regular consumption can lead to weight gain, and increased cravings. Follow a healthy, well-balanced diet with loads of green leafy vegetables, yogurt, beans, pulses, lean meat, nuts, seeds, fruits, bell peppers in order to have a smooth sailing lactation phase :) I hope this helps. Take care ✨

Hi there, I hope you are well. A healthy well balanced diet before, during, and after pregnancy will help in making breastfeeding a happy and easy journey for you and the baby. Here's what you must do. - Incorporate fibre, protein, and Omega 3 fatty acids in your diet. - For fibre, vegetables, fresh fruits, wholegrains, beans, lentils are great. - For protein opt for, lean meat ( chicken, and low-mercury fishes), dairy and dairy products, eggs, beans, lentils, seeds, and nuts. - Omega 3 fatty acids can come from foods like fish, flaxseeds, olive oil, walnuts, avocado, canola oil, etc. If you have been suggested some supplements, please take those as well. - Eat seasonal fruits, and vegetables, drink enough water, include foods rich in folate, iron, Vitamin A, calcium, iodine because these will form a good foundation for good health. Bell peppers, carrots, tomato, sweet potatoes, diary , leafy greens, beans, lean meat, nuts, seeds are good sources. I hope this helps, Take care ✨

Focus on making healthy choices to help fuel your milk production. Opt for protein-rich foods, such as lean meat, eggs, dairy, beans, lentils, and seafood low in mercury. Choose a variety of whole grains as well as fruits and vegetables.

Hey Foods like oats, fenugreek seeds, fennel seeds, and leafy greens are known to help in milk production. Supplements such as fenugreek capsules and brewer's yeast are commonly used to support milk production. But it is very important to discuss with a doctor or dietitian to choose supplements that meet your requirements
