First preg. No mum, no MIL. Daunting 😨

Among our circles, we seem to be the only couple with no mums. It feels daunting that we're going through our first pregnancy, the confinement after, and the taking care of our first child by ourselves without a mum and MIL. (*Father and FIL are old, and aren't familiar with taking care of babies, and aren't concerned or interested about our pregnancy haha). We are all on our own. Just curious, anyone in this same rare situation? How did you manage? Do you stop at 1 child because of the lack of help? Pls share! I get scared and nervous just thinking about it. And very envious of the many other couples out there who have help from their mum and MIL. (We stay in our own place, have no intention of engaging helper/confinement nanny) #1stimemom #advicepls

Personally I feel it’s better to engage confinement nanny, as they are more experience + avoid conflict with in laws 😆. It been quite a while since my parents and in laws take care of babies too.

don't worry eveything will turn out fine.. maybe can try talk your aunty neighbours if they close to you.. take care and god bless

Me too. I must hire nanny to help for first month.

Hang in there!!
