3rd Trimester

freezing meals

I will be 35 weeks tomorrow. Is it too soon to start freezing meals?! I plan on freezing chili, lasagna, soups, etc... :) Thanks ladies!

Re: freezing meals

  • I remember you saying you might go early, right?  If so, I say go for it.  If nothing else, you can always eat some of them at the end of your pg when you're too tired to do anything.

  • At 35 weeks, you could freeze things like soups and chili. I would wait on bigger items like pastas or casseroles for a few more weeks, just so they don't get too mushy.

  • I think I may start freezing meals at about 35-36 weeks. My parents are coming to town and will do most of the cooking and DH is a good cook too so I probably wont need too many. Any ideas on single portion freezing for when DH goes back to work.
  • I froze a lasagna yesterday. 
  • Most frozen meals are good for 3 months.
  • I recommend doing it now while it's early.  I waited until 38 weeks and I could only do two recipes a day because I was too tired and would swell being on my feet.  PP is right, I'm at the point where we're already starting to eat some of it because I'm too tired to cook anything too.  But, I have some intense pelvic pain that makes it worse.  I KNOW that if I didn't have this pelvic pain, I wouldn't be as uncomfortable doing it later.

    GL!!
