I ordered confinement food for 28 days but the next 16days my mom will make a tonic soup each day for me, have arranged for postnatal massage for 20days consecutively after confinement cause i had c sec and the wound need to heal before i can do massage.
My mother did the confinement for me so, I showered 1st after 12days then the next shower maybe another 2 weeks. Didnt touch any cold water (wash hands only with herb water & the shower with only herb water) brush teeth with boiled warm water, didnt do any housechores. Only drank red date water.. cannot drink normal water (cause will swell) Lie on bed most of the time, carry baby maybe for a short while each day cause my c sec wound and super sore back. No fan.
For me, I rather believe and just tahan. cause I dont want to risk any rheumatism or water retention etc in the later part of life. Or at least Idw to feel like if i got those, i will blame and regret that I didn't do my confinement well. Althought i did not follow some rules like, cant on aircon cold cold (was on like 26-28degrees) , wearing short sleeves, sometimes dont wear socks..
