A month after Adam was born, I’ve already thought of trying to get things back to the way they used to be. What I mean by that is to shed my baby weight, put on a little make up while the hubby is around, or get my hair a Korean perm or something like that.
…
To tell the truth, it’s like a mission impossible. Kudos to mommies who have three kids and could still manage to look their best, but I just can’t find the time–at least for now. Perming my hair will take at least four hours, and meanwhile whom can I leave my baby with? And though I’m still as vain as I was, I do think it’s not worth it to put on some make up while staying at home all day, dealing with baby’s poo and all that.
I did my post natal massage though. I took a five-day package from a Malay lady that my friend recommended. She did an amazing job, although it was a bit painful on the tummy, I lost 10 kg after finishing the massage. I had to wait for two weeks after the operation for this massage. If you had normal labor, then you could start such massage much earlier and thus the result would be more obvious. But who am I to say? Result may vary, of course. As for me, I don’t drink any jamu and hardly wear my binder.
But then again, having to cope with all house chores and a newborn baby would be enough to shed some pounds. How’s your experience?
