When I first had Ayra, i did my confinement at my mother-in-law's house.. Ramai jugak yg kepochi tanya kenapa tak pantang at my mother's house? The answer - because my mother mmg x larat becoz she is not well.. Xyah kut tau detail sakit apa plak kan... Hikhik..
For the 2nd pantang, i've decided to pantang at my own house sbb xnak susahkan both mothers.. But i know i might not have the time to prepare my meals, takut 2nd baby ni mcm ayra dulu.. Dulu nk makan pun kdg2 x sempat.. Mkn kuih raya n choc sahaja pun pernah... That is why i decided to look for confinement lady yg bleh urut n also cook confinement food..
My usual avenue to obtain such info is fb.. M sure my friends can refer me to a good and affordable service, furthermore since its a referral maknanya the service is reliable betul tak... I dont really fancy googling for these info and ended up disappointed plak nanti.. Esp when this things are not cheap.. Bayar sendiri from my own paycheck tau!!
So alhamdulillah sgt after calling and going through numerous suggestions from my fb friends, i found my match.. Tq so much for all the suggestions..
I went with Makcik Siti, suggested by Jaja, my friend Jina nyer cousin.. And because Makcik had to cover her sedara at PD, makcik amanahkan her daughter Eila to take care of me.. I knw i dont have anything to compare it with but i think Eila did an excellent job.. I can only compare the urut part la.. Dulu time ayra urut 3 hari je, dgn kakak lain...
Sbnrnya i am quite scared of urut2 ni.. Sbb most ppl buat sakit giler since i hv a lot of angin dlm bdn.. Usually nak sgt urut tp selalu takut sbb usually i will end up throwing up or in pain.. But with Eila alhamdulillah i enjoyed it.. X sakit langsung! Bdn mmg rasa best...
And of course since amik skali dgn masak, at least i dont hv to cook for lunch n dinner.. Relax la ckit.. Dulu kat umah MIL pun xyah masak gak hihi tp kesian la kat MIL kan...
Ramai yg tny, CL dtg pastu dia buat apa? Pagi2 dia dtg and prepare my bath and starts to cook.. While m bathing (mandi herba), usually she is still cooking.. Pastu when m done usually she is done too.. Then mandikan baby.. Lepas tu baru start urut n tungku.. Pastu CL balik... This takes half a day..
I wouldnt say i relaxed most of the time.. Since pantang kat umah sdri means the household chores still kena buat... Like washing the dishes, sapu umah, lipat baju, etc.. Thank god for coin laundry, washing n drying the laundry is keje Ajoy.. Kalau cuci sdri nk kena sidai n angkat plak lg kan... At least 2 of the chores yg x elok ibu bpantang buat tu i dont hv to do hehe..
So today is the end of the 14-day package i took.. Da 30 days pantang dah pun... Cepat giler... I have 2 more weeks of confinement left... Yippee!!! But that also means maternity leave is ending soon too... *weep*
Tp satu benda yg agak bangang is i forgot to weigh myself b4 start pantang... So i dont really knw how much weight ive lost hahaha bongok kan... Takpe la, yg penting the weighing machine shows a decreasing number day by day... Ckit pun jd la... Arghhhh susah betul nak turunkan berat n inches after pregnancy ni..
So ok... Signing off now... To those who will be giving birth soon, enjoy yr pantang!!
