DIY Confinement

Definitely possible. But you could use all the help you can get from hubby and in-laws. I didn’t do strict confinement for both my previous deliveries and it did work out fine. No issues so far. TBH, this strict confinement practice is kinda outdated. Of course, as a woman who has carried another human being for 9 months and then delivering this tiny human being into this world, you’d definitely lose strength, so you need lots of rest and proper nutrition to recover. If your husband is willing, then there is no need to bring in a stranger to “boss” (I’ve heard stories) you around, insisting what she believes is right.
