I batched cooked for both of my pregnancies, I did…

Chilli
Bolognaise
2 different curries
Lasagne

I made 4 of each of these.

Then I also had pies which we served with frozen veg and I think I bought frozen mash as well.

Omg you need to get books by the meal prep king 👌 healthy and delicious most of them you can freeze and easy to cook

Sweet potato mash, green veggies, rice and chickpeas or chicken with a sauce to your liking. Add all into one container for a balanced meal.
Same idea but with:
fish, rice, sauce and green beans
Tofu or chicken, noodles and veg in black bean sauce
Egg fried rice
Mash potatoes with sausages and kale and gravy
Overnight oats with yogurt and frozen fruit topping
Cut up fruit into small pots and freeze
Chickpea or chicken curry with rice
Also buy loads of protein rich snacks for quick bites in between meals or when feeding baby

I think you should go to gousto or hello fresh and scroll through the options for stews, soups, curries, sauces and casserole type dishes that freeze well and then compile a list of things you like! That's what I do before my weekly shopping every week!

I’ve used some recipes from the batch cook lady. I got her recipe book for Christmas so it’s been very handy 😂
Still waiting for baby so haven’t tried them yet so I hope they’re ok 🙈🤞🏻

Same 😆
I'm doing: Chilli/ curry/ bolognese/ cottage pie/ lasagne/ steak pie

Tried doing a pasta bake last time but it defrosts so soggy so I wouldn't recommend batch cooking pasta! Xx

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

Loosing connection

I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant and my partner can’t and hasn’t come anywhere near me sexually for about 12 weeks or so now. We tried but he got put off saying he was worried he was hurting the baby. I’ve spoken to him about this trying to tell him he can’t and he’s no where near, I’ve sent him email links I’ve had through on newsletters. My libido is through the roof and I’m worried we will drift apart if we don’t have aex again soon.
