That is also true for Singaporean women. My friend is from Singapore and after giving birth she stayed in bed for 30 days and was fed a vegetable broth everyday which is supposed to be good for milk supply. Her mother and MIL were in charge of keeping the house during that time and mum/bub basically spent the whole time in bed.
To be honest, that might be ok for a few days but I think I'd go nuts staying in bed that long!!
yep one of the women at work is Chinese, and shes not supposed to shower, bathe, anything for a month after the birth (she had big arguments with the family over that one)
Tracey, I hear you! Don't call your child ANYTHING you don't want whilst in utero.
My DS knew he was loved and precious, but also when I was pg I told people who asked "what is it?" that I was having a platypus. DS darts around like mad and also can eat his own bodyweight in food in a single day. And then some, if I'm honest (we've kept tabs, home and Nursery, for our own interest: he has eaten this much!). But he is also gorgeous, clever, strong, precious and adorable. Which doesn't quite make up for the food bill, but never mind.
