After 9 months of taking care of your body and preparing for a baby, maybe this is the best way to unwind before you start motherhood!
The idea of pregnancy and seeing your body change is scary enough. Top that off with the dos and don’ts during confinement – as told differently by every concerned relative – while learning to care for a tiny human, and you’re suddenly stuck in a stressful situation. While many couples engage confinement ladies to stay over to care for the baby and cook nourishing food for the new mother after childbirth, I struggle at the thought of sharing my home with a complete stranger during my most vulnerable period, let alone entrusting a newborn baby to her. Most of these confinement ladies are recommended by word of mouth. If you hire one that’s sensitive to you and your baby’s needs, it’ll be like heaven on earth, but I’ve read horror stories that can be frightening for someone who already has doubts about having a baby.
