#CeritaPantang

I found out that Mak is pretty liberal when it comes to pantang. I ate ayam kurma the first night I got home.  I do not take pantang very seriously causing mak and ach to worry. No socks (selipar jepun  instead), no sweaters, but i do tie my hair up) kipas. not full blast but i switc the fan on. panas la nanti i cranky. i drink 3 jugs of air one day.  i got stressed this one day sebab i cant stand stayin in the house all day. i fekt trapped. Asked mak's permission to go jln2 in the car mak tak bagi. takde special treatment lagi. was already washing the dishes and cooked for kimi  on my 4th day of pantang. mak doesnt have a helper jd x sampai hati tgk dia buat kerja sorang sorang

Confinement and Motherhood

Its been a week since I gave birth to Kimi last Tuesday. So like how? Of Confinement: Confinement, as many would know, sucks. =D Okay that might not be the case for everyone, because some ppl had a nice confinement period. Actually, it IS nice in some ways, like, everyone treats you like a princess – food is delivered right to you dekat meja makan, mak boils air mandi daun2 herba every single morning which makes me feel like being treated in a spa, ach does everything for me and I wont have to move an inch, except to feed the baby. But then there is the, like what nadiah noor had said, unwanted differing advices. Some said can eat ayam, some said cannot, some said drink lotsa fluid some said cannot, my bibik keeps telling me to walk like a pengantin, to minum 3 drops of air rambut sendiri every morning to avoid rabun, mak keeps telling me to wear my sweater, makcik urut keeps giving me tips that sometimes I think is nonsense, and yadda yadda yadda… Ada sedikit pressure di situ… Luck...
