Hi skt, my mum is at home with me most of the time, she quit her job to take care of my son.... If not, it's my hubby.
I have very bad vomitting at the end for 2 weeks already, if I go to work, I think I will go crazy.... It's like when I move and rush or even shower, I will puke after....
But I guess it will be all worth it when I meet my son
ZPF: do what's best for urself and baby. U need rest now not stress. Hope everything goes well, let us know if you do move back to Ur mom place for confinement! Remember it's Ur right to rest and receive the best care now. U carried the baby for so long and went through the labour.
ZPF: Oh dear! That's so dangerous to doze off while carrying the baby!!
Yes, pls have a good talk with your husband. No joke about post-natal depression. I have a colleague who seems to be rather depressed when returning to work after her maternity leave. She keeps worrying about her baby at home.
Experience from my cousin, her MIL moved in to do confinement for her, but ended up frying bee hoon?! She didn't dare to request for any food because of being misunderstood like ordering MIL to do this and that. So she just took whatever MIL prepared for her. Already she felt upset with the meals, taking care of the newborn stresses her further. She couldn't cope and ended up crying when her baby was crying nonstop.
We all know no matter how nice MIL can be, it's still abit uncomfortable to ask them do this and that for us. So it's best to get a CL (or looked after by own's mum) or move back to mum's place to stay, a place where we will prolly feel more easy and comfy. The only sad thing is, the husband will be not able to see the baby everyday if we move out. So it's good to hear what the husbands feel. Hopefully a compromise can be made.
For my plan, my husband will travel to my mum's place on alternate days when he's not tired after work, say 7-8pm, then back to his house like 9-10pm. On weekends, he will stay over at my mum's place to have more bonding time with the baby.

My mum told me use b白米酒 mixed u tap water to wash hand during confinementDear mummies, don't touch cool water after birth, if really necessary use HOT WATER instead. I keep washing my hand now the 2nd day can feel numbness on my pump >_<Mummies who have given birth.. I have questions regarding post-delivery care.. Hope u all can share.
Did u all shower after delivery? Or "confinement" rules kick in already and cannot shower? How to keep clean down there since menses come and we cannot shower? And also I heard from a friend that we should avoid touching water, her hand was in great pain after her confinement cos she kept washing her hands. So cannot wash hands or wash face?
and any constipation? That's my greatest fear of all
Can request medicine to soften ur bowel
My friend gave me magic box from baby art, DIY print, but I have not tried. Not sure if it is good.Hi mummies! Did anyone of u do hand print or foot print of ur babies?
Poor zpf! Hasn't been easy for u!Talk to ur hubby about it seriously. Take care
Agree! My mum helping me with the confinement, I got freedom to do what I want. And she let me take shower with herbs.
