I had my first post natal massage on Friday.. The Malay Jamu lady came by my house, and gave me a full body massage, made me wore a super tight fitting girdle around my tummy, and did prepared a sauna for me to sit in for half an hour..
It was quite shiok, except for the fact that i had to lie on the floor for the entire massage, and my back nearly killed me.. I'm quite worried that my back has been permanently damaged after the pregnancy and being poked twice for my stupid epidural during labor. I can still remember my whole body shivering so violently after the epidural was administered. It's like worse than when I was in New Zealand on the ski slopes!
The Jamu lady also gave Bria her birth and a massage.. think Bria likes it, although i don't really approve of some of the ways she handled and bathed Bria... We also discovered she had diaper rash, so we gotta change her diaper more frequently nowadays..
Did my second massage yesterday. There seems to be some results showing, so hopefully i will only need 5-6 sessions. It's so bloody expensive! $60 for one session. Maybe I should go and learn the art and then do this part time.. Good $ leh! haha.. But i don't think anybody would want to have their massage done by a "non-auntie"..
C has been a great help these days, helping me take care of Bria at night so K and I can sleep. It's really bad for K cause he needs to work, but because i breastfeed Bria in the room at night, he has to sleep on the living room sofa to get his rest. And the sofa is not exactly an ideal place for a good night's rest. So he ends up feeling really tired in the day when he is working. Plus, i don't seem to have enough milk for Bria.. which is another thing that is making me really worried. Really don't want her to drink too much formula. This morning, i breastfed her 3 times until no more milk, but she was still hungry. So i gave her the bottle. I felt so incompetent when i see her finished the whole bottle of formula milk.. Sigh.. = (
I need to devote myself full time from now on to make sure i have more milk!!!
