Depends on individual. If u have the money i say go for it.

From my own experience.. I take care of my 1st baby and 2nd baby by myself during confinement. Although i stayed in my hometown, my mom can only help me cook.

2nd baby i was quite stressed since my 1st is only 2 years plus.. Husband need to return working after a week off.

So for the 3rd baby i opt for a stayed in confinement lady for 30 days. She took care of me and my baby since we woke up till we go to sleep. It helps that the confinement lady is very considerate.. She even cook and entertain my 2 other boys as well (at night and weekend since they go to playschool on weekdays).

Cost me around 7k. Totally worth it. Although i need to spend myself for the raw foods in order for her to cook.

She usually wake me up around 9am.. I go into the sauna for 30min then shower. At the same time she'll bath the baby and put her to sleep.

After that she'll massage for an hour. Then i relax with the baby while she prepare the lunch and take it to my room.

Same routine again starting around 4pm.

So basically.. I was treated like a QUEEN. Tell me who doesn't like that ?

And dear husband.. Whats the value of 7k compare to 40 weeks pregnancy and labor pain that ur wife has to go through ?
