Confinement

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone ever went through confinement all by herself? Meaning no confinement lady or anyone else to help. Am trying to visualise how to survive the first 2 weeks after delivery. Worry that I might have mobility issue or discomfort due to wound that may require bed rest and unable to take care of the baby too. Hoping to seek opinions from the experienced mums.

It would be best to have at least 1 more person to help if you’re not intending to have confinement lady as you’ll be recovering after giving birth. For me, my mum helped me with my confinement and the c sect scar is less painful during my confinement: just have to adjust to the sleepless nights.

Im planning for the worst scenario as my mum has rejected being around for my confinement. I think both of us also want to avoid any conflict in views. But I guess she might drop by to check in. I do not wish to rely too much on her having to be around hence seeking views on how to cope alone.
