Congrats! Glad to read that your baby is ok, and I hope that the issues your wife is facing resolve well. We've had 2 kids with nary a complication, so we are extremely lucky.
One thing my wife always does is take 1 full month immediately after birth and goes on a strict Buddist/Taiwanese diet. She's very limited in what she can eat and it's all very healthy. She also stays (mostly) inside. If she were back home, her mother would probably try to keep her in bed for the whole month. Actually, she's expecting at the end of November with our 3rd, so I'm curious to see how she copes with all the Thanksgiving/Christmas goodies and travel. Probably won't be as healthy this time |
