1:31

of the most important experiences in

1:33

many people's lives. That perhaps the

1:35

most defining moments in some women's

1:38

lives is the miracle of Bath.

1:40

In other words, having a baby.

1:43

Throughout. Pregnancy. A lot of care

1:45

and attention is given to expecting

1:47

mums. But. As soon as the

1:49

baby is born, this attention moved to

1:51

the newborn baby. Making. Sure

1:54

they are healthy, warm and safe.

1:56

We. Talk a lot about baby

1:59

nutrition. What? The murder rates

2:01

can be just as important? Especially.

2:03

The sas to bail after the

2:05

intense efforts of giving birth, whether

2:07

it's chicken soup, a glass of

2:10

champagne or a good old tougher.

2:12

In this program we're talking about what's

2:15

women eat and drink in the first

2:17

few weeks after having a baby. And

2:19

as usual will be landings and useful

2:22

neither. Tabby Larry is all that fast.

2:24

I have a question for you best.

2:26

A. Typical pregnancy lost about forty

2:28

weeks. but when does an unborn

2:31

baby stomach start to grow in

2:33

the mother's womb? Is

2:35

it a at three weeks? Be.

2:38

At five weeks or see

2:40

at eight weeks. Ah

2:42

I'll say the babies Tommy starts

2:44

to go at about five weeks.

2:46

Okay, vast will find out if that's

2:48

the correct answer later in the program.

2:51

Giving. Birth is not cool, lay

2:54

bus and nothing. It's hard work

2:56

leaving the new mom physically and

2:58

emotionally exhausted and in need of

3:00

food that nourishing for both herself

3:03

and her baby. Is

3:05

Alison Omen Lowery Deputy Director

3:07

of Nutrition to the United

3:09

Nations World Food Programme explaining

3:11

more to Bbc World Service

3:13

program The Food Chain. A.

3:16

Woman who is proceeding and during

3:18

that post partum time the first

3:21

six months she could lead up

3:23

to six hundred and fifty additional

3:25

calories a day, which actually is

3:28

quite a bit more than she

3:30

even needed. In addition, during pregnancy.

3:33

Alison. Says that women need

3:35

to eat even more calories

3:37

postpartum meaning after childbirth than

3:40

they do during pregnancy. That's

3:42

especially tray some mothers who

3:44

are breast feeding. Feeding. Their

3:46

baby directly with milk from her

3:48

breasts. How new moms get those

3:51

extra calories! changes from place to

3:53

place, and different cultures have developed

3:55

their own traditions about what seats

3:58

are best. For. Chinese. American

4:00

mum, Heng-U, roast pig trotters were

4:02

one of the best things to

4:04

eat after childbirth because they contain

4:06

a lot of collagen which helps

4:08

produce breast milk. And

4:10

when Ruma, whose Punjabi family originally

4:13

comes from India, gave birth to

4:15

a baby boy, her

4:17

mother cooked Pangiri, a kind of

4:19

spicy nut mix with cashews, almonds

4:22

and melon seeds to promote breast

4:24

milk and help the healing process.

4:27

Listen now as Ruma explains

4:29

how important her mother's help

4:31

was to BBC World Service

4:33

programme, The Food Chain. So

4:36

the first 10 days were amazing, my

4:38

mum came to stay. And

4:40

gosh it was so important because

4:42

I had a C-section, I was

4:44

on very strong painkillers, I

4:46

was in the days anyway. And

4:49

to be honest, because she was here

4:51

I was fed, you know, so she would look after

4:53

me while I'd look after baby. And my husband was

4:55

very hands on as well, so that first 10 days

4:57

whilst it was really hard, I

5:00

didn't fall apart which I might have done if

5:02

I'd been by myself. When

5:04

Ruma talks about her mother's help, she

5:06

uses the word gosh, an

5:09

exclamation used to show a feeling

5:11

of wonder or surprise. Ruma

5:13

also says she was in a daze

5:16

because of medicine she was taking for

5:18

pain. If someone is

5:20

in a daze, they feel confused and

5:22

cannot think clearly, maybe because

5:24

of a shock or surprise. Luckily,

5:27

Ruma had help from her mum

5:29

and also her husband who was

5:31

very hands on, meaning that

5:33

he was closely involved in organising

5:36

things and making decisions and didn't

5:38

leave it up to someone else.

5:41

Along with her mother's healthy home cooking,

5:43

the help Ruma got from her family

5:45

meant she didn't fall apart, a

5:48

phrase which means become so emotionally

5:50

disturbed that you're unable to think

5:53

or act calmly or to

5:55

deal with the situation you're in. New

5:57

Mums have to be expert jugglers. Balancing.

6:00

A new baby and recovering

6:03

from childbirth with getting too

6:05

little sleep. No. Wonder they

6:07

need heart healthy food to eat

6:09

rights? Isn't it time he revealed

6:11

the answer to your question Joji?

6:13

So I asked you when an

6:15

unborn baby stomach starts to grow.

6:17

You. Guessed it was at five

6:20

weeks, which was the correct answer.

6:22

best at about five weeks. The

6:24

cell forming a baby's stomach, lungs,

6:27

bone, and brain all start to

6:29

divide and grow. right?

6:31

Let's recap the vocabulary we've

6:33

learned in this program starting

6:36

with post partum meaning following

6:38

childbirth. Breastfeeding. Is feeding

6:40

a baby directly with milk from the

6:42

mother's best? The. Exclamation Bush is

6:45

used to express a feeling of

6:47

surprise or wonder. If

6:49

you're in a daze, you feel

6:51

confused and unable to think clearly,

6:53

often because of a shock or

6:55

surprise. If someone his hands

6:58

on that closely involved in organizing

7:00

things and making decisions, Rather,

7:02

Than just talking about it or getting someone else

7:04

to do it. And finally the

7:07

fatal that fall apart means to

7:09

the can seriously emotionally disturbed say

7:11

that you're are unable to think

7:13

calmly or to deal with a

7:15
