Pantang oh pantang

How do u spend long CNY holiday? Hmm..for me not so much as dlm-sesi-berjaga2....spend time lazily, maraton tidur, tv and so on

However, at least manage to settle something....buying confinement set and also 2 books related to Malay confinement

I know certain terms but I would consider myself tidak-cukup-ilmu-di-dada..and also always heard that if we do not really take care ourself during confinement, later will suffer at later age..sakit itulah inilah...[and men always have a reason bila wife tidak secun melecun spt dl....aih mintak jauh sume tu]

I am a kind of a person not so modern [aha..kolot kah?]...sometimes heard that after 2 weeks delivery can go to shopping mall [erk...], but of course people will write how boring it will be spending at home for 44 days confinement...[hehe even someone write items must have during confinement here]

Encik suami always 50-50 to send me back to his kampung for confinement...reason he is scared to drive our baby too far...plus MIL is still working. and even my kampung is just 2-3 hours travelling he is scared with the jalan-kampung-bengkang-bengkok nanti baby pening...

So after considering all the factors, I will spend confinement period at our house. MIL will come for a week and the rest encik suami haruslah tolong wife anda ini...and also my father will be staying with us [huhu sedih tau xde mak sdiri...baca blog org yg pantang ngan MIL pun rasa segan je macam2...yelah ngada2 ngan mak sdiri lain, nk ngada2 MIL harus la ada tahap2 jugalah...]

This book is great except the missing part is confinement....

To be frank, I am not sure how to choose confinement set...until I read this. Of course if buying too expensive set but not using it with-all-heart also might not have any +ve impact [slim melim mcm pengasas segala jamu2 cth mcm jamu mak dara, NR, mustika ratu..and so on]..pendek kata harusla-cuba-try-test dulu and try very best to follow all the pantang larang esp bab jaga makan dan berbengkung

But still I am tired not satisfied with internet reading, plus it is tiring to get all the exact wording...So yesterday I decided to bought 2 books about confinement [hehe since reading from few blogs that its worth buying]

We went to MPH, Alamanda....and get this [its pricey, but I will consider as good investment...nanti leh turunkan ke anak cucu....]

Encik suami : btl ke nk beli? mahal tu..

Me : leh claim tax ape? [agak encik suami lupa wife ada susur galur tax]

Encik suami : lps ni blh la awak jadik bidan..

Me: haha..blm lagikla...sdiri blm merasa sesi2 push2.....

To my disappoinment, another book is not in stock [have to wait for 2 weeks...], so I asked the SA to locate which MPH have this book [at this moment xboleh nk beli online sbb takut lambat sgt smpi], The SA said Summit and 1U..

So I requested encik suami to go Summit, since dalam kawasan jajahan xjauh dari rumah...but the SA over there have to take about 20 minutes to locate the book [itu pun bukan sorg carik....haih]

So since yesterday, I have read both..still not finish...but at least have a better understanding and confident to have confinement at our home [but of course encik suami sila support wife anda ini]

But I still have outstanding things to do..still not find the confinement lady tuk urut2 and so...plus maybe buy few add on items for the confinement [malam ini harus call sgala no yg dh dapat pg ni...mintak2 la dapat book 1 of them..Amin]
