After giving birth. Should or should not?

Hi all supermums! I am keen to know do you take any traditional medicine after giving birth? Do you went for a massage after giving birth? Like do you feel better doing it or it feels the same? Do you do it because you want or you do it because your parents ask you to do it? I am curious to listen from you all. Lets share okay? I am a ftm so i want to know more. Thank you! #firstbaby #pregnancy #advicepls

I’m staying with my MIL so had to go the traditional route; 44 days confinement although I didn’t really follow strictly as she didn’t really take care of me. I still took cold baths once in a while. Didn’t take any traditional medicine either. I ordered confinement food for 30 days and did postnatal massage for 5 days. I had normal delivery but had episiotomy so it was very uncomfy and painful the first 2 weeks. I felt tired even after confinement due to lack of rest as I was handling baby on my own while husband’s at work.. what more with the night feeding every 2-3hrs, plus cleaning the house & doing laundry. Best to get as much help you can to allow yourself to rest and recover after giving birth.

Hi Adrianna. Thank you for sharing it with me as I really do appreciate it. I am staying on my own so thats why I was curious to know more about this like should I or should not and hiring a confinement lady and postnatal massage is not cheap for me. I hope you be better in coming days ya and do take care. Thank you for your advice :)
