Hi!

I read that it is normal to sweat, it is the body’s way to flush out excess water that has been accumulating due to water retention. Just like what Sharine has said.

It’s normal to sweat b’cos you are eating so much heaty stuff!

I perspired loads and smelled disgusting too during my confinement. I bathed twice a day, washed hair everyday and wiped body each time b4 I b/f baby. How not to bathe and not to wash hair? So smelly and so sticky, all these will contribute to post natal depression if can’t bathe or wash hair. For my 3rd confinement, I did everything and didn’t pantang much. Was in front of the PC most of the time too, haha. Thank God, I’m still ok and not going blind yet lol!

don’t worry, sweat is normal and it’s one of the way to reduce water retention after labour…. so you might loose some weight after confinement.
Well, my son sucked on McB every hours when he’s awake during the confinement. You are not the worse, ok? I remember I got to find time to eat then almost whole day in side lying position… really gila but worth it…
hmm… about annoying 2 old ladies you just need to be firm on what you want the best for you baby, I told myself I’m the mother and I’m the one who decide for my kids. Then, everything/thought will be in placed…
Hang on, you are doing great!
