Review Set Bersalin/Berpantang; Pengalaman Berpantang Pertama

Assalamualaikum

So entry lepas aku dah share tips utk pilih set berpantang utk ibu lepas bersalin, kali ni nak share plak review set berpantang atau set lepas bersalin yg aku dah guna almost 6 months after deliver. Yg habis pon ade, yg x habis2 pon ade..hihi.. ok macam yg aku cite kat entry lepas tips nak pilh set bersalin , aku consume set berpantang dari Anugerah, Nona Roguy dan Shaklee. Kan maen tamak sampai 3 jenis brand aku sapu. hihew..

So kenapa aku pilih produk2 ni?

Set Berpantang/Bersalin Anugerah;

Mase tgh review pasal which set bersalin yang aku nak beli, aku tertarik ngan feedback org2 yg guna produk Anugerah ni, which is 'set anugerah ni menenangkan ibu lepas bersalin dan sangat2 wangi' . Search punye search, actualy produk Anugerah mmg berasaskan bacaan ayat2 suci Al-Quran. Yela, org lepas bersalin ni macam2 boleh jadi. Dengan hormon yang x stabil lagi. takut juga terkena Baby Blues (meroyan). So aku memang tetapkan nak satu produk yg berasakan perubatan islam, menenagkan dan yg x berbau mcm sesetengah produk herba..So bile tgk balik, Set bersalin Anugerah ni mmg menepati apa yg aku nak. Dan lagi satu harga die (aku amik ser bersalin normal Anugerah) sangat berpatutan dan antara yg murah bile dicompare kan ngan yg lain. Kalo korang nak details lagi ttg produk ni boleh klik sini.

Haa nila set yg aku amik siap ade harga lagi. Rasenye mase aku beli kat toko jamu kat Carefour Wangsa Maju ritu, aku dapat lg murah sbb aku ade amek barang lain juga. Set Anugerah ni mengandungi;

1. Losyen Sejuta Khasiat;

Antara semua benda yg ada dlm pakej bersalin ni, losyen ni la paling aku suke. Bau die sgt wangi, lembut jeee.. Seriusly sgt suka dgn bau Aple Garden ni memang menenangkan. Aku pakai lepas mandi kat perut sebelum pakai benkung. Memang best, bile pakai tu, selain wangi die ade rase berangin dan panas yg x keterlaluan. Just nice la.. x cukup ngan losyen ni, aku jadi tamak sbb aku gi beli satu lagi losyen sejuta khasiat yg xde dalam pakej ni tp dgn haruman yg lain ; Sweet Floral. Saje mengada sbb bile bau semua mcm best je. Tp yg Apple Garden memang the best la. Org datang pon da xsegan kite wangiii jee..

Sweet Floral ni x de dlm pakej pon. Aku saje tambah harga die dlm 20 ringgit lebih rasenye.

2. Minyak Pilis Anugerah

Minyak ni pon best jugak sebab dia dlm bentuk minyak bukan serbuk. So bile pakai xde la nampak setempet putih serbuk atas dahi tu.. hihi. Memang suke la aku x yah dok pakai benda pilis atas pale yang macam bedak sejuk tu. Pakai ni bau die wangi dan rase berangin je,. Memang menenangkan. Highly recomended seriously x tipu. Aku kalo xde pilis jenis ni mmg aku x guna la pilis yg tradisional tu.. ish x mau ah..

3. Minyak Sejuta Rahsia Anugerah;

Minyak ni sesuai guna mase ngurut dalam pantang nanti. Boleh request tukang urut gunakan minyak ni . Aku x guna pon minyak ni dalam pantang. Tapi sekarang malam2 bile kaki lenguh or bile sakit belakang aku suka guna minyak ni. Tapi for me kalo minyak ni lagi panas, mesti lagi best.

4. Mandian Sauna Anugerah



Yang ni pulak aku suke sebab senang nak guna. Pek die macam uncang teh gitu tapi versi besar. Satu pek boleh guna dua kali. Senang nak guna just rendam ngan air panas kejap then campur air biase. Rase fresh mandi dengan ni.

5. Pembersih Wanita Anugerah

Yang ni bagi aku biase2 je. Same je macam perbesih wanita yg biase aku guna sebelum ni. Tapi disebabkan dah beli aku guna jela.. Sekarang memang dah lama abis.

6. Minuman Bijian Anugerah

Dalam banyak2 benda dalam set bersalin ni, benda ni lah yg aku paling xsuke sebab rase die manis terlajakk manis. Tp mase dalam pantang aku mmg disiplinkan diri minum ni tiap2 hari. Ni bagus utk memulihkan sistem peranakan wanita lepas bersalin. Lagi satu bagus utk milk booster. Tp lepas pantang aku da x consume yg ni walaupon masih berbaki suku botol. Aku tukar minum Jus Perawan D'Herbs terlajak laris. Nanti aku wat review lak haha.

7. Minyak Telon Anugerah

Ni satu-satunya minyak utk baby dalam set bersalin ni. Mula2 aku guna gak sampai baby umur 2 minggu. Pastu ade satu mlm tu baby aku nangis kembung perut. Nampak die macam dok teran-teran berak tapi takleh. Aku sapu minyak TYT die cam ok plak. Pastu sampai sekarang aku dok guna minyak TYT je tuk my baby. Alhamdulillah sangat2 x pernah da meragam sampai sekarang.

Set Bersalin Nona Roguy

Phytonatal ni berfungsi utk menurunkan berat badan dan menguatkan badan selepas bersalin disamping melawaskan pembuangan air besar.

Yang ni pulak aku x ambil satu set lengkap. Aku just ambil Phytonatal. Phytonatal ni kakak2 aku lah yg dok recommend. Kantanya bagus utk xnak sembelit , nak jaga body utk slim gitu and bagus jugak utk elak sakit2 badan. Aku mula makan ubat ni lepas 3 minggu bersalin. Bile ubat yg doktor bagi dah abis (stool softener/ ubat sembelit dah abis baru start consume). Die tulis boleh mkn 2-4 biji satu hari, aku mkn 2 biji pon dah mmg rasa nak poo-poo tu meluat-luat. bangun pagi wajib menunaikan hajat dulu. hihew.. So bagi aku Phytonatal ni bagus jugak, sbb bukan aku sorang yg ckp camni, mmg ramai yg guna. Harga die yg botol besar rm205. Boleh tahan lama. Sampai sekarang aku guna lagi.

Set Bersalin Shaklee.

Sebenarnya sebelum beranak pon aku ade consume SHAKLEE. Infact sebelum mengandung pon aku ade mkn Shaklee. Tp mase mengadung aku alah sikit. Takleh pandang langsung pon botol Shaklee rase nak muntah. So terpaksa aku sorok semua botol2 Shaklee dalam bilik rahsia sbb aku mmg x leh tgk. Tgk je mmg loya abis. Pelik nau..

Produk Shaklee ni aku plg suke die punye Vitamin C. Mmg bagus utk sembuhkan luka dalaman dan juga jahitan. Sebelum mengandung aku dah consume Vitamin C ni. Alhamdulilah resdung memang hilang sampai sekarang. Kalau dulu tiap2 pagi aku dok serot serotttttt hidung tersumbat. Memang seksa abis. So utk set bersalin ni aku amek set lengkap. Bile pg post natal check up, mmg luke bersalin nmpak cantik elok je. Alhamdulilah sgt2.Kalau ade yg berminat nak tahu details lagi pasal set bersalin/set menyusu Shaklee ni bolehlah klik sini.

Yang bestnya set bersalin Shaklee juga bagus utk ibu menyusu. If ade yg berminat nak beli dgn harga ahli/ nak jadi ahli boleh jgk contact aku (hana) 019-9770326. Dan set bersalin Shaklee boleh juga dibeli asing2 bagi yg kekurangan bajet. Dan rasenye ramai yg dah tahu ESP shaklee juga adalah milk booster terbaik.





Bengkung Mak Bidan D'herbs;

Nak beli bengkung pon mmg aku search habis habisan. Kalo boleh aku nak bengkung yg tali tali tu xnak yg strap. So aku mmg tertarik ngan bengkung mak bidan ni sbb dia dari bawah dada smpai bwh pinggul. Serius best bile pakai ikat ketat2 tali tu. Nak pakai kalo sorang susah la sikit tp boleh je. Aku selalu suami yg pakaikan and suruh die guna tenaga jantan die tarik tali2 tu smpai ketat. Nak bini langsing suami pon kene la tolong same ye dok? Bile suami pakaikan bengkung ni terus rase nak pakai kebaya nyonya. Over nau haha.. Bagi aku sape yg mmg nak kekalkan kerampingan bengkung camni mmg sesuai sbb boleh tarik tali tu kasi ketat punye..Pape hal pon pilihan terpulang kat diri masing2. Hepi shopping to all mommy to be out there..Till we meet again byee..

Tips Membeli Set Bersalin/Berpantang

Assalamualaikum.

Ok hari ini baru berkesempatan nak tulis entry pasal tips utk decide which set bersalin yg sesuai utk kite. Dulu sebelum bersalin, bile kandungan dah cecah 7-8 bulan, hari2 wat review pasal set berpantang/besralin ni. Actually kalau kite tgk samada kat kedai ataupon online, mmg berlambak-lambak set bersalin/berpantang yg ade kt market hari ni.

Disebabkan banyak sgt produk utk perempuan lepas bersalin ni, aku banyak jugak la study and review setiap produk before decide nak beli yang mane. Memang pening kepala jugak la hihi.. Aku share sikit tips yg patot diambil kira before kite beli produk utk berpantang.



Tips Membeli Set Bersalim:

1) Tahu bajet anda. Actualy set bersalin ni ade yg mahal dan ade yg murah. Tp kite kene ingat, x semua produk yg mahal tu bagus.Kalo produk yg mahal ni biasenye barangan dia banyak and lengkap. Contohnya semua benda dah ade include tungku, bengkung, dan macam2 lagi. Tapi kalau family kite yg jenis simpan tungku dan bengkung utk kegunaan turun temurun , benda2 camni rasenya x perlu beli dalam set bersalin. Kalo yang murah pulak biasenya barangan die x sebanyak yg mahal tp masih menepati semua keperluan utk berpantang nanti. 

2) Dapatkan info tentang setiap produk and compare. Info dan review ttg satu produk ni boleh dapatkan di internet atau boleh je tanye kawan2/sedara yg pernah consume that produk. Ni mase aku dok search dulu2, terjumpe table utk comparekan each brand, lupe plak jumpe dari blog mane, tp table ni sgt membantu. Tapi rasenye bile cek balik kat kedai and online shop harga die agak berbeza. Kalo kat toko jamu tu try la beli semua benda yg korang perlukan dari satu kedai je. Harga mesti dapat lg murah.

3) Buat pilihan bersesuain dgn diri anda

Kalo yg jenis sukakan ubat/rawatan yg moden atau lebih senang dan praktikal, biasenya utk org yg tiada masa atau xde org jaga time pantang, boleh la pilih set dari jenama ni;

-Amway Tropical Herbs

-Set Bersalin Shaklee

-Set Bersalin Anugerah

-Nona Roguy

-Leesa Confinemum

-Set Bersalin Ibu Halimah Mak Dara

-Sendayu Tinggi 

(Kebanyakan Ubat dalam bentuk kapsul-senang boleh telan je)

Bagi yang suka set bersalin yg tradisional plak boleh try produk2 ni:
 -Mustika Ratu
 -Nyonya Meneer
 -Set Air Mancur
 -Set Orang Kampung
 -HPA
 -Jamu Afiat
(Set-set ini juga ada terdapat dalam set serbuk - perlu dibancuh dan minum, serta juga terdapat set pil / kapsul).

Kalo ade yang x suke jenis herba plak, bolehlah try produk berasakan hemeopati, macam produk Salindah. Kebaikan dia x berikan kesan panas , bagus utk ibu yg menyusu anak. Dan ramai pulak yg pilih produk moden seperti set berpantang shaklee. Salah satu sbb ialah ianya selamat dan boleh dimakan sejurus lepas bersalin. Safe utk mommies yg nak breasfeedkan anak die, sbb xde kandungan jamu .

4) Beli Berasingan atau Pakej

Bagi aku, bile dah review semua set bersalin, aku dah berkenan dgn Set bersalin Anugerah, tapi ade jugak lah benda yg set anugerah ni xde, yg produk lain ade. So aku decide utk ambil satu Phytonatal (Nona Roguy) secara berasingan. Maksudnya set bersalin aku, aku amek satu set lengkap daripada set bersalin Anugerah, dan satu produk Phytonatal dari Nona Roguy. Kirenya aku x beli Nona Roguy ni sat set la. Daripada cite kakak2 aku yg memang consume Phytonatal ni, ubat ni mmg bagus la utk elak sembelit. And bile aku cube, memang terbukti berkesan. Bagus jgk utk yg nak jaga badan slps bersalin. Utk kesihatan dalaman pulak aku ade amek pakej lenkap berpantang Shaklee. Shaklee ni memamg ramai la yg consume dan byk feedback positif. Set Berpantang Shaklee ni pon sekali ngan pakej utk set ibu menyusu. Kalo nak lagi details pasal set menyusu Shaklee bolehla klik sini.

~Set bersalin mmg banyak kat pasaran sekrang, senang nak dpt samada kat kedai ataupon online. So sebelum beli cubelah compare dgn harga kat tempat lain utk elakkan daripada tertipu.Rasenye itu sahaja lah yg aku nak share. Next entry insyallah nak review pasal Set Bersalin Anugerah dan Shaklee.

Post Delivery; The Recovery

Hello there.. Assalamualaikum semua..

So I've been three different women (girl would suit me more i think hihi) in my life;

A daughter to my parents
A wife to my husband
A mom to my baby boy

The 1st few weeks of being mom was so tiring. believe me; the emotions, the tears, the recovery process..But after couple of months, i would say it is more like 'capture-all-the-moments;take-photos-and-videos-and-have fun-". Well a baby wont always be a baby. Be a perfect mom is not what i want. I rather focus on becoming my baby's bestEST bestfriend. U got what i mean?

And it does not change my status only, the reading materials is changing as well.

 Still keep these books and read them once in a while.

Shifting to these kind of books is never easy.. but i enjoy reading it..it  keeps me motivated and give me the new whole thing of being a new mom.

Saying a goodbye to immature me- its time to move on, i'm a mom afterall;

OK, So I was an avid reader of pregnancy books while i was pregnant and nowdayas a keen reader of baby-mommy books. But the things i read very little is about the recovery process after giving birth.Well, when i was about to search the book about the recovery after giving birth, i found it is not very much talked or discussed as much as pregnancy talks. Yes, things dont end when you give birth. And after my recent post about the wonderful and gruesome details of giving birth au naturel HERE, i think i would love to share the recovery process as well. Hopefully, someone can benefit from it. So happy reading peeps...

From my favourite pregnancy book 'Pregnancy, The Beginner's Guide'. Check it out ladies; the iilustration are super fancy and keep u read it till the end. Highly recommended with a good content as well.

The details are kinda...hurmm, i would say gross, but just know that im writing from my own experience, and i've only had ONE baby, giving birth to him naturally, so C-section recovery surely will be different from mine. And plus everyone's body is different, so you may or may not experience the same thing as mine. So here we go.. for your littlelaughter/enjoyment/horror:

But 1st, just a bit about my pantang (confinement) experience.
My pantang went like...eh-boring-giler-i-jus- cant-stan- the-44-days-in-the-house-so-i-honorly skip the parts. My pantang just went well bab makan2 je.. Wadehel i went out on the 5th day, then on the 2nd week, and so on..Watever the stubborn me always stubborn.

1) Pooping is scary; 
The toilet itself is scary for a coward girl like me. I remember back when the nurse asked me to pee the night after giving birth, I just refused because it feels like that im going to burst open my stitches. And then to start pooping err.. its kinda nightmare having yourself in the toilet pushing the poop when they are not ready to go out oppps because it is KERAS watsoever oppss.. I spent like 20-30 minutes on the potty and secretly grunting, moaning standing and sitting continuously. Ok its not a secret anymore wtf  haha.. and well i knew its common to have constipation after labor and it lasted about a month for me. SCARY huh?

Scary u know.

And here is my tips on how i ease my constipation. Ya its working

-Ask for stool softener, usually the doctor will give u, but ask for extra..
-Keep yourself well hydrated, and drink lots of plain water (in Malay culture, there is a pantang whereby a women cannot take lots of water after giving birth, kononnye takut perut buncit..well depends on u to believe or not, but for me, water is very important). Drinking fluids makes the stool softer and easier to pass and whenever u're breastfeeding, u'll get thirsty very often. So, drink a lot can help u get rid of constipation.
-Eat fruits and vege. I've taken orange and prunes and it works on me.
-Next, slump down and sitting up few times to get your tummy muscles working.

2) It hurts 'down' there
You may find yourself can walk, sit and stand. Yes, you can even go shopping for groceries, taking your baby to his first vaccination, but after one and half hour, u'll be at your limit.

So, ASK FOR HELP, girl. My husband spent a few days pulling me out of the bed. Don't expect yourself to be an independent hard core person u always be. This is the time to let you spouse to be helpmate and think of this as a precious time that u can lean on your life partner and best friend.

3) The pregnancy belly.
I remember back the next day after giving birth, i discover my belly had not turn to the normal size before pregnancy. I was silently crying and was like 'is it a part of me forever?' Being a first time mom, there's so much i don't know about haha. Silly me and now i know that your belly wont disappear the seconds your baby pops out.

What to expect is to have a contraction-feeling like whenever u're nursing your baby. This feeling is the signs that the uterus is shrinking to pre-pregnancy size. See how breastfeeding benefits both mommy and baby SUBHANALLAH. And the best part is, it helps mommies to lost the baby weight pretty faster you know. And for me i almost lost all the baby weight by now. Extra 3Kgs now is not a big deal for me.

And never expect yourself to be just like others. Bear in mind that some would recover fast while some others not. Give yourself a little extra time as you take 9 months to carry the baby. As long as the baby and you are healthy, so no worries about the other things. Take it slow and steaady, enjoy the moment mommies.

4) The Blood.
I would say, there is heavy flow of blood for the 1st two weeks. And for me its completely gone by week four, Expect yourself to wear the most comfortable panties with a gigantic pad u ever see. Those sexy panties, just put it away for couple of weeks hahaha.All you need to get comfortable in and out all the time.

5) And Your Hair Falls Out.
Dislike dislike dislike. When i wake up from my sleep, there's a lot of hair on the pillow.And..there's a lot more; on the floor, on the carpet,in the toilet,kitchen, under the couch and everywhere. It feels like u're moving to a new place called "The HAIR Island".

It started to happen when my baby was 3 months old. My raven and glorious pregnancy hair was suddenly hitting a point where they realize there's no more baby in me anymore and saying a goodbye to me. But now my baby is 5 months, the hair is back even though they still falling out. But its getting better Alhamdulillah. I did nothing for the treatment because i believe i will soon gone, and its true.. so don't worry mommies. this is so common, u know with hormonal changes, something surely will go haywire, but soon it will turn to normal.

Well, i think the recovery process is pretty good for me. After all- the little one that caused you to recover is worth it.
