How much help did you need after birth?

My mom can hopefully fly back to stay with me when the baby is out, but is it very useful to have a confinement lady as well? Can they come during the day but go home at night? Are there other services you would recommend I do research on? Thanks!

If your mum can help and there’s a budget for daytine nanny, why not. For me, I would appreciate any extra help in the recuperation period. Before pregnancy I have always loved massages so prenatal or especially postnatal massage package was crucial for me. Hopefully when you deliver, the ban will be lifted for such services already.

Last time I checked the place that I went for my prenatal already went bust liao 😅 Ask from 2020 mummies fb group, should have alot recommendation for freelance jamu masseurs that come to your home. Malay ladies can bind tummy well or do womb lifting or breast massages to stimulate breastmilk.
