I remember your father and mother when I was in Korea at the on post church on Camp Humphreys 2001-2002. Your father was in the army and kept telling us pick up your cd when you first came out. He was so proud of you.

Old southern folk say to stay indoors as well right after having a baby. My grandma told me cold floors give you cramps if you don’t wear socks or slippers while you have your period. I thought she was crazy lol. Thanks for your great videos. happy new year!✨

@brittneyhuggins9541 5 лет назад

@WildLee7 4 года назад

In the Caribbean we believe in this as well. My mother and granny used to say that "you're open" and believed that you could catch "cold" if you didn't cover up.

@xoAuthentiChick 4 года назад

It used to be like this or those who still follow the community tradition. I was practically on my own after postpartum. Us millennials really have to do a lot on our own. I didn’t even know what to do. I listened to the doctors orders as best I could, but I really needed help with taking care of myself. My partner went back to work, and he was great help when he was home, but he only knew how to cater to the baby not understanding fully what was going on with me.

This is a Mexican thing too! We call it “cuaresma” like cuarenta which means 40, as in 40 days. It’s somewhat of a lost art though. Lol. Pretty cool that Korean and Mexican culture have a similarity!

@Amerie. 5 лет назад

Ahh so cool! I didn’t know Mexican culture included this. SO many cultures worldwide have this, and it seems so imperative to women’s healing. It definitely seems to be a lost art in Western civilization.

Post partum information in western society is so annoying all you read about is how horrible you’ll feel and how hard it will be. But listening to you and many other women who follow Asian post partum care gives me some great ideas and hope!

@MsPrettyB 3 года назад

In the BLK community, there is a similar confinement, it's just not popular anymore, because women want to flaunt the snapback, but Old school mom's and grandma's know the practice. Also nowdays it's difficult for alot of women to practice if they have to go back to their jobs, that doesn't have a full pay maternity leave.

I'm Somali & when women give birth they tend to stay at their mums house for 40 days indoors whilst getting used to motherhood/getting help etc. I'm not sure of the details as i am not a mother yet myself, but this was interesting to watch! 💕

@Janettoi 5 лет назад

Wow! I'm appalled by how similar the Korean culture is to my African culture. No cold foods, being taken care of, drinking herbs, no leaving the house for 40 days (and even after that, you're not allowed to be out with the baby after dusk), no doing your hair. P.S: Love you long time Amerie 💜💜

This sounds so healthy and a great tradition. Totally agree after having a baby mother and baby need extra loving care. If this was done more in America I'm sure it would reduce the high percentage of postpartum depression and issues women face in this country after giving birth. The body needs time to heal. My goodness the body just created a full human being with a brain, heart and everything else. We really take it for granted all women go through to produce another human being. After I had my first child my childhood friends had a reunion. People called me piss that I did not attend. I'm like chile please I would never strap my brand new baby in any car seat and drive for hours to meet friends. I posted facebook pics. Enjoy that and peace :) is what I told them. After I gave birth with both my girls no visits from anyone and I didn't leave the house for at least a month.

@Amerie. 5 лет назад

Everything you said. And driving for hours with newborn baby? No ma’m lol. I would’ve done the same thing. I STILL prefer my baby not be on the road and I doubt that’ll ever change even when he’s 18😂

Hi Amerie! I love that you gave us really in depth advice here. It's so important, hearing you as a celebrity, stress the importance of internal healing after birth-in a world where women feel pressure to bounce back to their post pregnancy bodies. Also, I can't wait to see the music videos for your new songs! 😏 I've listened to both albums SO many times! I love the sonic cohesiveness that you talked about in one of your interviews. If you do a video for "The Wall" I might just lose it because that song is a VIBE 😎 (it's my favorite) Take care hun. 😊

Yes, LOTS of Westerners complain about this, but doctors here don’t understand it or think it isn’t actually a thing. Be gentle with your body. None of that hitting the gym hard business!! Stay away from cold and drink and eat hot foods-basically try to do as much of the stuff mentioned and see if it helps? I hope you feel better, Michelle, and congratulations on your newborn son!!😍💖💞

@helenkim323 2 года назад

Joriwon! That’s what the Korean postnatal care centers are called. A lot (not all) of women in Korea go after delivery with the baby and sometimes with the husband to recover. They have nurses and doulas there to help take care of both the mother and the baby around the clock. I’m pregnant with twins now and my mom wants me to go to one in Ktown but I live in the Bay now and none exist here. So, staying in at home with lots of seaweed soup will be my recovery!

Today, I asked my mom about postpartum stay-in and if it was common in the Haitian culture. She said yes, revealing that it usually last about 2 to 3 weeks at a time (of rest and bonding with baby). Earlier in the day, one of my students shared with me that in her native country, Trinidad, mothers stay home never leaving the house for 9 days, which in that time family and friends are allowed to visit. I find the differences and similarities amongst different cultures very fascinating. Thanks for sharing yours and some great tips🙂

But it is the same tradition. Because we are Africans first.

Surprisingly, my southern African American grandmother made me stay in for 6 weeks, covered up after my childbirth. She also gave me herbs and wrapped my belly with a belly-band to encourage the belly to reshape. The idea behind this is that the womb needs to heal and you and the body are vulnerable to infection. So no exposure to the cold and unnecessary public. I could not even sit on the porch in June! However, once my time was up, me and my baby were out of there and strong!! I returned to modeling within 3 months and breastfed for 1.5 years. So good to hear your story and our similar journeys!
