CONFINEMENT 2018
My confinement was almost as smooth as it can be. I had engaged Noor Food Confinement for my meals for the first 2 weeks after delivery. Food was great, well apart from every day soup with goji berries or also known as wolf berries and brown rice. For once in my life, I had actually ate clean for that 2 weeks but then again, I was mad craving for Subway since it was Halal during my confinement.
I could say that I managed to rest better during the day this time round. I managed to get at least 2-3 hours of nap with no one nagging at me about swollen face. If visitors comes to see with swollen face, not good. Like as if I care what people think. Like, HELLO, I just gave birth, I SHOULD be looking swollen, from head to toe.
Of course, I got to thank all the visitors who came down to visit us however there are those who's comments are not needed. PERIOD. Like I have mention in my previous post on Post Natal Blues, indeed such remarks/comments from some visitor, SOME I say, seriously tak perlu at that point of time.
You don't know how badly it affected me that night. I cried silently to sleep, I gets sleepless nights thinking about it. You get to give rude remarks but I am not allow to reply to you rudely. WHY? My parents taught me not to be rude. My parents taught me to ignore such comments. Oh well, in this case, I suffer it at night.
So, here's to people who tend to visit the newborns & new mummies/daddies, please keep unnecessary comments to yourself. If you are curious, please just wait until confinement ends, atleast.
Again I say, Post Natal Blues is no joke. Don't tell me to my face my faith/iman is not strong that's why you got blues lah depression lah. A women went through that labour, could be between life and death, feeling sore all over the body, plus a tiny human being just came out of us, figuring the world, adjusting to the world, feeling rather uncomfortable and confused day and night, cries for every single thing. We gets exhausted with no rest which may lead to the blues.
Thus, unless you offer to stay with us, be the one to wake up every 2-3 hours at night for milk and change of diaper, please again, keep comments to yourself, cause I've HAD IT.
Until then, it's almost 2am, I am done with household chores, I am gonna get my sleeps before I wakes up in the next few hours for milk session as well as cook bekal for my man who's off for his morning shift.
Good Night!
