For me i wun believe lor. My grandfather also suffer from rheumatism, so dun tell me he give birth oso meh?Believe or NOT to believe old folks' tale??
Honestly, it's better to believe and follow.. after all, it's only a short period of suffering.
What happen if you do get to face rheumatism and other problems as one ages.. not worth it.
I heard of horror stories from people who showered and wash hair every day just like any other day during confinement.. and now, suffering from this silly wind in the head and body. Suffering from migraine and other times, can't explain but the wind just moves around in the body causing discomfort. Especially during rainy days.
Think about it. Your call?
haha... ya lor is true...For me i wun believe . My grandfather also suffer from rheumatism, so dont tell me he give birth also meh?
ya, when u grow older like 50++ onwards, pro willstart to come.. it's our "engine" slower down liao... and also lik wat some ppl said,ang mo also nv do confinement even they give birth in winter.. haha...For me i wun believe . My grandfather also suffer from rheumatism, so dont tell me he give birth also meh?
I can't pee after giving natural birth. So the gynae had to insert sth to me to pee directly into the "pee bag" (no feeling/urge to pee)if cant poo then cannot discharge ??? eh not everytime got feeling mah...
Personally i dun believe in not showering and shampooing.
First thing Hygiene, we gotta breastfeed or even carry our baby and we are bleeding down there also. Later get infection how?
Secondly, our grandparents rainy days also here pain der pain. And our grandmothers back in the olden days definitely do follow the old traditions...
Our grandfathers, dun tell me man also give birth meh? They also raining season here pain der pain wat...
My husband's auntie, married with no kids. Also raining season here pain der pain. Then a little bit will fall sick.
So thats why I think its quite silly to follow all this traditions. It depends from young, how were we taken care of or what. Sometimes things happen concidentally but the older generation always link it back to something else...
my 2 cents worth...
Well, just to add to mummies' resources.. I was reading up online about these things and was preparing to buy packs of herbal bath for my confinement in April 2013, when I found that there are confinement shower gels and shampoos around!

I'm gonna buy a bottle to try them out, ahead of my confinement, to see if I like the smell and if they are indeed as warming as they claim to be. Will post after I try!
