Asian moms, did you or do you plan on "sitting month" for #2?
I did for # 1 and will probably do it again for #2. Not looking forward to it!

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.

I took better care of myself with #2 for sure. But I still went out, cleaned, cooked, was on my feet, showered..
When I had DD we were in a 3 floor condo so it was tough trying to just stay on one floor.
With DS we're in a one floor so it made life so much easier!

While I appreciated the emphasis on resting and my mother was around to cook everything for us, I didn't like being trapped in the house and avoiding cold things and fruit in the heat of summer. 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
