the best part was, we didn’t prepare ANYthing for Fahry’s arrival! even the name was not finalised… ye la it was a lil’ bit early kan. BIG THANKS for everyone who makes our life easier and i don’t feel miserable while pantang even if away from my mom/mil.
i feel somehow very thankful cos have to pantang here. now i have lots and lots of best friends, who i never knew and never met before… and Fahry brought them into my life.
this time pantang is different than Hafiy time… during Hafiy i wasn’t allowed to go out before the 40th day (went out only for check ups) but this time, everyday i go out, including have nasi lalapan at Muara 😀 (*lalapan is nasi putih with ayam/ikan/daging, ulam celur & sambal belacan, Indonesian recipe). & i was offered to join the trip to Brunei but i said no need la… susah nak pam susu 😀 why different? cos no grandmothers around 😛
i am not somebody yang too fussy about pantang-pantang things, but i’ll do my best to take care of my body, so that i would be healthy (and maintain the beauty :P). i have to take care of my family, now and later. many ladies who do not perform proper pantang complained to me, after thr 3rd of 4th child, badan dah sakit2. but i am more to modern pantang lah. tak ada la makan nasi ikan kering, tak minum air or whatnot. cos i’m breastfeeding and i learned about nutrient in food that our body need.
what i am doing to keep myself fit:-
1. massage a-la Jawa Kuching with Nek Maznah.
-now finished the 7-days session. have to go again for 15th, 31st and 45th day session.
-i was bathe, massaged, & lumur with param & pilis. & she gave me bedak sejuk to kentalkan wajah. hmm.. i think i am a bit prettier now 😛
-she gave me air kunyit & ubat periuk.
2. continue taking my Shaklee supplement
.
-Vitalea,B-Complex,Ostematrix,Vita-C,Vita-E,Carotomax, ESP, etc…
3. Gamogen
-this is recommended by a kakak (i forget her name) who i was initially wanted to buy something from her, & then she recommends to get this, at any store in our town here. to me she was very frank cos she’s selling this thing as well, but she didnt ask me to buy this from her.
4. bengkung moden
-this is a very nice one!
i couldn’t wear the tali-tali type of bengkung (bertahan for a week je during Hafiy time). so a day after Fahry’s birth, i surfed around to find any suitable bengkung, something easier to wear and firmly there.
then i stumbled into this webbie, i contacted the owner and terus order! the next working day.. dah sampai 🙂
it is soooo easy until Nek Maznah said “senang kan pakei barut ni sik payah ikat, melekaaaat aje”.
actually this is designed for c-sec mommies, but it is also suitable for everyone, including non-confined-ladies 😀 it works like corset, very firm and confortable. and the most important is, it is a worth buy! and the shop owner, Sis Fazidah is very friendly and helpful. she layans every email i sent to her.
it also works like tube, so during BF session with Hafiy, i can selak2 without worry ;))
i don’t take any set bersalin cos most of them comes with pills and ubat2 to be consumed. it’s not that i am skeptical about those traditional medicine, but since i am breastfeeding, and Fahry’s liver is still immature, i don’t want to take the risk for most of the ingredient is herbs. furthermore, i got ubat kunyit and ubat periuk from Nek Maznah urut. actually i took the air kunyit for several days, but alhamdulillah that time Fahry was free from jaundice, and he wasn’t re-jaundiced (apebende punya term nih). he had light jaundice for 3 days, just before i started the air kunyit. alhamdulillah.
sometimes i felt OK staying at home. at least i am free from various feeling & emotion when handling Fahry. it’s not that bad, actually. but how do you feel when you suck things from your babies’ stomach, blood comes out. when you try to clean your babies’ foot, blood comes out. i rather let the nurse doing it while i’m staying away from the incubator than feeling guilty for making my baby ‘hurts’. i miss him so much but until my eyes not 100% OK, i won’t risk my baby and other babies with this conjuntivis.
may Allah bless all of us with great health. even if i rarely do exercise, but i take kejar2 Hafiy as an exercise la 😀
alhamdulillah. Allah makes everything easy for us even if without mom/mil (Tok Ma comes here just for a week) and thank you everyone!!!… you really liten our life up!!!
