My mom is a big believer, and me, not so much, so we butted heads a lot. I recall thinking after that sitting month that there was no way in hell I would go through that again, but...we will see. At the very least, I think I will have to go out, because DS can't be trapped indoors with me, right? =P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asian-moms-sit-month-for-2#post-689069 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 19:22:07 +0000 chopsuey 689069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took better care of myself with #2 for sure. But I still went out, cleaned, cooked, was on my feet, showered.. </p> <p>When I had DD we were in a 3 floor condo so it was tough trying to just stay on one floor.<br /> With DS we're in a one floor so it made life so much easier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asian-moms-sit-month-for-2#post-689061 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 19:20:34 +0000 Rubies 689061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just plan on staying away from cold foods. And to eat regular meals. With #1, I didn't listen to my mom and drank cold beverages and ate popsicles and stuff (it was summer!) and now my teeth and gums hurt all the time! And I didn't eat very much postpartum because I was so stressed out about having a newborn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asian-moms-sit-month-for-2#post-677131 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 19:18:57 +0000 regberadaisy 677131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Asian moms, did you or do you plan on "sitting month" for #2?</p> <p>I did for # 1 and will probably do it again for #2. Not looking forward to it! :P </p>
