​

Chiyo (VERY EXPENSIVE) - Eastern food therapy meets nutritional science to guide you through each stage: https://wearechiyo.com/​

​

MAMA MEALS: We are focused on bringing organic, gluten-free and pasture-raised ingredient foods, specifically designed for what a postpartum body needs. 

Growing a human is hard and takes a heavy toll on the body. With all the pressure, lack of sleep, and learning that comes with a new baby, most moms feel overwhelmed and forget they need to nourish themselves, heal, and replenish lost nutrients!

At Mama Meals we know it takes a village, that's why we source the highest quality ingredients, cook them using ancestral principles from Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, and Weston A. Price, then deliver them frozen to your door.  Simply heat, serve and enjoy.

I would love for the world to know that we are a family centered business, and get so excited with each order and the chance to make a positive impact on someone’s life through high quality nutrition.

* Effacement means that the cervix stretches and gets thinner. Dilatation means that the cervix opens. As labor nears, the cervix may start to thin or stretch (efface) and open (dilate).
Your pregnancy due date is calculated by adding 40 weeks (i.e., 280 days) to the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). This is done with an assumption that you have a 28-day menstrual cycle. The time between your menstrual period and ovulation is calculated as the first two weeks of pregnancy, as ovulation takes place two weeks after the first day of LMP. If you deliver the baby on the estimated due date, she is 38 weeks old after conception and not 40 (1).
