Confinement...



I dont like Confinement. Spending 24 hours at home for almost 44 days is hard for someone like me. I asked my mom how was it for her during her Confinement. She said it was okay but she didnt do all those traditional confinement routine. All she did was, wearing socks and avoid cold food and beverages. How easy was that. But ive decided myself that i would go all out during my confinement.



Well, that was the worst decision in my life. Confinement is so damn hard.
I have to control everything. I cant sit this way, i cant walk like that and i cant do this and that.
Are you freaking kidding me?
Searching for a Confinement lady is not easy. Seems like they're not willing to come to Puchong area. God know why.
But then after asking my good friend Amy, she recommend Kak Nurul.

Kak Nurul came to my house and arranged alot of things for me. She prepared all the herbs for my shower, massage and bertungu. and she is amazing.She's very friendly and very talkative. Alot of things she shared with me. Her experience and old wives tale.

Despite i was breastfed Baby D, Kak Nurul insist of me portioned my food. Well that was pretty hard to do at first. When your breastfed, your constantly hungry.
The first 4 days I noticed that some part of my body is shrinking.
I managed to loose almost 10 kg within a week.


I also managed to buy afew of Tanamera Confinement set consist of Body Scrub, Herbal Bath, Herbal Feminine wash and body soaps. 
See! I was pretty insist on doing all this.
Its tiring doing all this by yourself for 44 days.



 Wearing socks ALL THE TIME!
Such a hustle for me. I hate wearing socks. Only when im wearing sneakers.
But like Kak Nurul said 

'Pakai stokin, nanti perot kembung masuk angin'.

Okay kak!



But i do enjoy the time when Kak Nurul came by. She massaged me, bertungku, bertangas, herbal bath. Felt so refresh. But during the body massage was a struggle for me. Im not the type of person who enjoy massages. So for the first time doing massages, i was screaming, auw-ing and nearly crying. I couldnt bare the pain.
When i asked her to stop, all she said was
' tahan sikit. badan nak pakai lama Mesti kena urut'.

But out of all, im so glad that i dont have to drink those jamu and herba drinks. Baby D had a slight Jaundice so the Doctor asked me not to consumed any jamu for a time being.

Then i purchased Confinement Set by Shaklee. This product was recommend by my dear cousin.
I wasnt a fan of supplement but for the sake of my health and my Baby, i gave it a try.
It has been 3 days trying it out and as of now all i can say is, it realy does to the work. I felt alot better, i can control my hunger and my milk is fully stock all the time.
Having a boy and also premature is a struggle as he does tend to consumed alot of milk compared to other baby. The Doctor have warn me before.
I was pretty pleased with the product.



2 weeks left before i finished my confinement period. God i can not wait. I cant stand the thought of staying at home and watched tv all the time.
Cant wait to run around the city :)
