What's with the numbers? It's actually countdowns to my pantang day.
I religiously stick to my pantang dos and donts during my time with Sufi. But now after Sara, i realised those excuses i heard from other mommies makes sense. It's not really excuse but we're just.. let me just say we're more occupied. Bukan malas ok?
Yelah imagine je la..dulu anak sorang. You can curi ikat bengkung when your newborn's sleeping. Your mom get ready all those jamu and confinement food for you and you took ALL coz you still have no idea what are this and that really for and whether it really works. But the second time around or thereafter.. how to take care of yourself explicitly if your firstborn sikit-sikit "ibu nak ni.." "ibu nak tu.." and there your little baby crying and then you need to pump your milk for stocks.. so there goes your strict pantang. And then you know la this food and that jamu kalau tak makan pun tak de lah effect sangat.
Dapat pakai bengkung 44 hari and then makan jamu tu kira Alhamdulillah la.
I didn't really do the bertungku and bertangas that much.
I Think it still ok to congratulate myself though coz despite all the temptation and the laziness busyness , i stick to the healthy diet, berbengkung and eating all the supplement for 44 days. After that 44 days, i just wear corset and continue simple diet because Sara working has kept me busier than ever.
I started my work immediately after 44 days as i promised my husband. Kalau ikutkan hati nak masuk office lepas 30 hari coz it felt too long already and i worried for work that piling up. I know my husband means well to ask me to really rest (by resting he means duduk rehat makan tido jaga diri jaga baby indoor sahaja) but..work is waiting for me, Client juga dah mula whatsapp nak buat appointment. Online discussion is always not enough for them and i agree with that.
Now i have yet to reach my 60th day of Pantang. My midwife says if i can stick to wear the bengkung or the corset for 60 days, it will be great for my booty body ;). Ok so i'm working on it.
"Dah slim la balik, puan" my staff responded when i told her "saya dah sihat cuma belum kurus balik"
"Wah! dah slim,,!" kata ramai nurse kat Hospital masa bawak Sara check up lepas sebulan.
"Amboi kurusnya.." kata one of my client when she came to my office last week.'
hahahaha sounds so soothing. Ok lah made me happy a bit tapi i'm still far from my target. Those nurses, my staff and my client, they didn't know me back in 2013. So they don't see how i was and understand what 'slim' actually is to me.
And what's with that 100 days of pantang?
That one i have to salute my hubby. Not just my outer but he take my inner health so seriously.
I would love to write longer but mommy-work is calling. Gotta go.
