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 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..

You're welcome! If possible, tahan the cant shower for at least the first 12days. then shower 1 time then maybe can help tahan the 2nd half of the confinement. Just try your best to follow if you believe. If you're doing it already and only do half half abit no point. So just try your best! most importantly is you must be happy okay! if not after c sec, the pain and all will contribute to you being unhappy.
