Is confinement lady important?

If you are financially capable then yes its best to have a confinement lady. It will ease you a little. At least meals and chores need not be bothering you. And you can focus on feeding baby and rest. In that way she will also be able to assist you when required. I did not have a confinement lady as it was too costly for me. So hubby and i had to manage everything on our own. Its doable without help as well.
