We’re Getting A Confinement Lady

After a long debate discussion with hubby last night, we he has finally decided to engage a CL. I told him that with both his mum and my mum helping me out together with a maid, we don’t really need a CL.  All my reasoning was rebuffed by him.  Well, what can I do now but to accept his decision coz he’s going to pay for the CL. I don’t want him to say “I told you so to get a CL in the first place” to me in the event the original plan did not work out well.  What he said is quite true coz my delivery is not a normal vaginal birth.  It will be my 3rd C-section and for the first week, I will not be able to get up to do anything as my wound will be too painful for me to get up and handle the baby.  I can’t expect my mum to wake up a few times in a night to help change the baby’s diapers as my mum has high blood pressure and can’t take sleepless nights.  My hubby has also said he can’t help out at night as he has to work the following day.  So his decision is final, he will hire a CL and my next task is to find one who’s good.

Thank you everyone for all your suggestions and confinement stories.  To those of you who did not have a CL, my hats off to you wonderful tough ladies!

  1. So lucky for those who have CL…I only had my aunt..and still have to look after my son..but then again mine was normal delivery…so good luck!

  2. My mom, during my confinement month, was a godsent. She was kind enough to help me out for one whole month after I delivered my baby. I learn everything about baby care from her literally.

    As for my mom-in-law, tsk tsk tsk …

  3. Yeah, i consider myself quite tough too coz c-sect, no CL, need to wake up at nite to feed bb (with hubby help)!!! My MIL only responsible to cook and bath the baby.

    You are lucky! Take care.
