Post-miscarriage confinement

1️⃣ month of confinement

I did a full 30 day confinement as my pregnancy was already 5 months (half the pregnancy journey). My MIL went to consult the typical TCM stores and they advised full confinement, so my MIL suggested I do the full confinement.

0️⃣ cost for us

My MIL was semi-retired at that time, and she kindly offered to cook the meals and prepare my bath for confinement. Very thankful for her support during our most challenging period🙏🏼✨

3️⃣ days of post-miscarriage massage

I’ve had diarrhoea after taking the pills to induce early labour, and so I’ve had terrible bloating post D&C.

My mom suggested the massage, and my hubby thoughtfully booked it for me🥺 We went with the Postnatal Massage Singapore.

After 3 days of massage, the bloating was better. And…that was when I realised that my breasts were producing milk (which was a trigger😔).

🤍 Overall 💯

Super heartbroken during confinement as it was still very raw to us. Had to control my tears and limit my time to cry - because crying during confinement will affect eyesight🙄 I had to remind my mom that I wasn’t having a normal confinement…

But overall, confinement built up my physical body again.

100% recommend✔️
