Props to Juanita for speaking English!!! 👌🏽👏🏽

Ohh I saw another comment saying If your mom can do videos of recipes of the food she recommends for the 40 days!! This would be great! Thank you! & great English Juanita 👏🏼

Felicidades Juanita por hablar inglés lo hizo muy bien,

My mom would tell me about “cuarentena” but never came over to help me... it would’ve been nice to get help the first time. It sucks having all these siblings close by but no one offered to help me or bring meals over. I started doing chores and cooking right away and I remember hurting myself. My husband did the best he could but of course he was the one working. I’m now pregnant with my second one and don’t expect them to help. I don’t mean to get pity, just venting a bit because I can relate to some of these women who have gone through the same thing.

I swear this is definitely a Hispanic thing! My mom didn’t let me leave the house for 45 days unless it was for Drs appointments 😭😭😂

I had all my babies by myself and never did a quarentena. I cooked cleaned and worked right after leaving the hospital. I also put on a faja right after before leaving the hospital. I feel it helped me recover more rapidly. I also breastfed my kids until they were 4 years old. Loved pulling my babies out. It was the most perfect feeling ever. ❤️❤️ we are all different in many ways like birthing. I’m just giving my story out there. Do your thing and do what you think it’s good for you.

I’m pregnant with my second baby boy. Due in November. I’m 25 years old.

Acupuncture CURED my epidural back pain! 🙌🏼 did a 8 week treatment went twice a week and BAM! No more post epidural back pain! And I had 4 baby’s with epidural!

Not showering actually holds water to the fact that showering does wash away the good micro bacteria we have on our skin that helps keep us healthy by fighting bad bacteria. So not showering for a week would be like them trying to keep the immune levels up to protect mom and baby.

Juanita quiero decirle que quizás no la conosca en persona pero estoy tan orgullosa de usted por hablar el ingles❤️ sin miedo al éxito mi hermosa hechale muchas ganas

During my cuarentena all I was thinking was it must be a Mexican thing, I didn’t understand why I had to follow all these rules. I was blessed that my mom took good care of me during my cuarentena, I know not everyone is that lucky!

For my first baby I was in so much pain. I struggled to get up and do things no one helped me. My dishes, clothes piled up and my family called me “dirty” when all I needed was help. I did end up figuring it out. It never too late to take care of yourself 💜

It’s definitely a blessing having family take care of you and help out. I didn’t have my mom or mother in law cook or help with anything. I had to figure it out on my own being a first time mom. I wouldn’t eat all day, had postpartum depression, sleep deprivation… I’m currently pregnant and don’t expect any help this time around. We’re all in different circumstances and at the end of the day these are all just “suggestions” because we don’t all get the same help.

Also our grandparents and older generations got to eat so much more organically at el rancho. I’m so envious of that! Lol I had no help after having my baby & wish I did. Lifting was so hard! But I feel the faja immediately felt amazingly good, I loved the support it gave me!

Uuuuh 🤔 solo las que tienen a su mamá cerca tienen la fortuna de cuidarse a si, pero las que no la tenemos con nosotras tenemos que agarrar fuerzas de donde no las ay y hacer todo lo que a qui se menciona que no debemos hacer 🤭

Your lucky to have a mom that helps you with everything had my baby in july and my mom wasnt like yours that helps you with everything i didnt have any help anything take care of your mother becuase some people dont have thier mothers or they dont want to help

I did a cuarentena with my first baby, and I felt awful. I was in pain, couldn't do much and always needed help. I covered myself extensively and suffered from back pain when I was cold (even though I didn't have an epidural) and headaches too. At the end of the day I think its all in your head, if thats your beliefs it will happen. But 7 years later I had my 2nd baby in February & I did NOT do the cuarentena. I ate whatever I wanted and I was up cooking and cleaning. I didn't really cover myself that much and I actually felt so much better. I think everyone is different. I am at a different point in my life, my mom was not able to come cook for me or help me clean so I just did it myself. Also my husband went back to work 4 days after I got home so I was on my own getting my 7 year old up and ready for school etc. Props to your mom for being so caring of you and so thoughtful to allow you to rest. You are so blessed and I know you know that and don't need to be reminded.

I didn’t do any of these and ate what I usually would while breastfeeding my baby was absolutely healthy, and so was I.

I would if I had a mom like yours to take care of me girl I was up in about a WEEK postpartum !! I did not have the luxury to “rest “ and eat calditos I literally survived of whatever I could find to eat when the baby was asleep lol

They are all myths and superstitions, but it's so nice to have someone que te apapache and spoil you and take care of you for health benefits and bonding with baby. You are so blessed!! I apreciated my mom when she helped me with my first baby. Y Sra Juanita, que bueno su ingles!!!
