The first luxury you allowed yourself after childbirth

Every mother knows that the greatest pleasure and the greatest joy we have after childbirth (and in our lives) is to be able to have our newborn baby in our arms. But today we talk about other types of pleasures, those small or large luxuries and whims that we had to leave apart during pregnancy. After delivery, what is the first luxury you allowed yourself?

There are women who do not deprive themselves of anything during pregnancy, and gynecologists who do not establish restrictions, but others do not try to try potentially harmful foods or drinks. Taking care of excessive weight gain can also lead us to set aside small pleasures high in sugars or fats.

Eating sausage, ham, ice cream, a steak of undercooked meat, smoked salmon, sushi, donuts, chocolate, ice cream, chocolates, jam, a beer, a glass of wine or cava, a coffee ... can be some of those small luxuries that you dreamed of during pregnancy and that you wanted to resume after giving birth.

Even giving "instructions" to those closest to me: to the hospital, instead of flowers I prefer you to take me ...

When a few days ago we talked about the delicious bouquets of serrano ham as a gift for recent moms, I saw that I was not the only one to have had that desire and to have finally tried the ham, after months of abstinence, in the same hospital after giving birth. That happened in my first pregnancy.

In my second pregnancy, what I deprived myself of the last two months was sweets, especially ice cream, which in the middle of summer you can imagine how I felt like it…

After the birth I spent several days unable to leave home, and I assure you that one night I dreamed in great detail how was the triple ball ice cream that I ate. I already knew what flavor each ball was, so I remember very well what my first outing was (except for the pediatrician): to the park and the ice cream shop.

I think, seven months later, I still haven't recovered from the lack of chocolate and I'm still hooked to the closet ...

And you, what did you dream about during pregnancy? We would like to know what was the first luxury you gave yourself after delivery, those little and longed for whims that you could finally enjoy with your baby.
