Chinese Pregnancy



Traditionally in China, when once people got married, they would

immediately get ready for having a baby. That is why symbolic

things such as dolls or lotus seeds would be put on the beds of

the newly weds on their wedding day so as to bring in the

meaning of having a baby as soon as possible.



When once a married woman becomes pregnant, things for the baby

will start to be prepared. Prams, cot, baby clothes, etc will be

readily prepared to welcome the arrival of the new born.



From now on, the health of the mother is of utmost importance.

Therefore, the mother should reduce her workload, eat healthily,

and employ prenatal education. Prenatal education has come into

being for over 2000 years in China. It was believed that a good

pregnant mother should eat only meat which was cut only in

square cubes, sit only on properly built chairs, walk

unswingingly, talk softly, etc. By doing so, the foetus would be

able to learn the most valued virtues. Although in present days

the above mentioned practice is no longer common, pregnant women

in China still behave very carefully so as not to do anything

which affects the foetus. Still now most people believe that the

structure of the house or flat should not be changed while a

woman in the house is pregnant since it will cause the foetus no

good but harm.

The first month after giving birth The first month after giving

birth is very important for a mother. She needs the most rest

and the best nutrition. Otherwise, her body will not be able to

recover and can easily get ill. In this month, she can't go

outdoors, can't be exposed to wind, can't wash with cold water,

can't drink cold water, can't read books etc. However, if a

mother really has to wash herself, she should do so by using

water boiled with dried ginger skin. In some places in China, a

mother must not wash her hair because otherwise she will get a

chronic headache.



Compared to the west, western women can leave home after a week

of giving birth and can go to work after two weeks. It is

unimaginable in China.



In China, after giving birth, a woman should eat plenty of fish

soup and pig knuckle soup. The pig knuckle soup is boiled for a

long time with ingredients such as a lot ginger, eggs, pig

knuckles in plenty of sweet black vinegar. It is believed that

this soup can compensate for the loss of calcium and other

nutrients needed by the body. It is a tradition to give out and

share such soup to friends and relatives but one can only do so

twelve days after the baby is born. Chicken is also ideal for

meals after giving birth. In order to help a mother to recover

from giving birth, it is recommended that she should eat rice

cooked with ginger daily since it can enhance all bodily

circulation. Apart from the above, it is also a tradition that

after the baby has been born for one lunar month, eggs dyed red

should be given to friends and relatives. However, anything

salty should be avoided since it will hinder the production of

breast milk of a mother.



It is only after the baby has weaned then the mother can start

considering controlling her body weight.



Some practices may seem quite unimaginable. However, they are

still practiced in most places in China. Even in Hong Kong,

women would follow the above traditions as long as family

expectations are involved.
