Confinement without nanny

I'm a first time mum and delivering in June. For the past few months I thought I have made up my mind not to engage a nanny partly due to space and budget constraints. However, my family members start telling me recently that I should really engage one but for some reason I feel that we can manage without one. Here are some facts to share; do let me know your views! We live in a one bedroom apartment. Husband will be taking paternity leave. Husband has no problem with laundry and housework. Our mothers can drop by a few hours a day. We'll be ordering confinement meals. Based on the above, does it seem ok that we can go without a confinement lady?

csec recovery is not as scary as most articles wrote I didn't take painkiller on day 2 onwards, pain is bearable and personally I find the binder helps. I'm able to move around. most importantly must make sure things are organise, reachable. my hubby will shower 2 LOs after he return from work
