dear mummies, I am new here, badly need advice on the following
My edd is 27feb 2016. I wanted to enagage CL for my confinemement but there are multiple views of engaging one in my family.
My hubby n mil feel that having a stranger at home is uncomfortable, and besides the xtra cost aside, they feel that the money can be well spent on nutritious food on me or baby stuff.
My concern is how well can we cope during my 1st month, given that i have both parents in law n my hubby ard, all of us has no experiece with newborns, my mil had experience like mayb a decade back? So i am trying to justify the need. As i am worried my mil will be too tired coping house work and taking care of baby if m tired. Hubby can help but i am jus worried how well he can do it. Am i being too paranoid? Given that i hv 3 pairs of xtra hands at home?
In such a situation, i do not want to make my parents in law feel that i am lazy or what not. Jus have this very insecure feeling that if i feel stressful i wun have breast milk for my baby.
However i have my worries of getting a CL, as it might turn out a disaster as some mummies posted.
Therefore, I would like to have mummies have their take if u were in my situation, should i insist on my own thinking or listen to others...
