Confinement soups

[Mummy2TwoSoon]

Does any pregy mummies here take such soups during pregnancy itself, other than after giving birth? Does anyone know if it is okay to drink them now? Very interested to try cooking them to drink, eg green papaya with fish soup...

depend on what soup some is not suitable as it is too heaty... But u can start drinking papaya fish soup to prepare for milk supply...

I was more concerned if anything in the green papaya may be harmful to my baby...just as some Chinese herbs are not ok for pregnancy...oh so it is fine to drink it during pregnancy? I mean green papaya is just a fruit haha...

I think if u used it to boil soup shld be ok, not eat it raw. Thomson medical offered us this soup to sample during the hospital tour so I suppose it is safe. My office cleaner also told me that she has been brewing this soup for her pregnant daughter to start preparing for her milk supply...
