Is confinement lady important?

I did not hired a confinement lady for my 2nd child. I cater my confinement food. My hubby helped to send my elder to school and helped in the laundry. My mum came in the day time to take care of my baby. I had enough rest. I don't have to worry 'an outsider' touching or even stealing my things! Everything goes well, i did my 40 days confinement.
