Berpantang cara Yatie Chomeyl (^-*)

Lain padang lain belalang,
Lain orang lain pula cara berpantang.


Ada yang kata 40 hari,
Ada juga yang kata 44 hari,
Tak kiralah berapa pun jumlah hari,
Kesimpulannya diri sendiri yang gigit jari.

Wahhh..pantun seloka gitu dalam usaha memastikan takkan Melayu hilang di dunia eh...wth? I would like to share the sweet and bitterness during those 40hari yang indah *indah ker?propa sungguh*. Why is it called "berpantang"? I believe because there's few pantang that you have to follow...


(1) Berpantang dengan set rawatan tradisional

I started the process of wrapping my tummy on the 6th day after baby SN was born since I've stay at the hospital for 5days *takkan nak bertepek kat spital tu pulak? lari habis sume nurse ngeh3x*. I'm using Mustika Ratu Confinement Set i.e meant for 40days of usage. It consist of 8 products i.e :-

1. Galian Parem Wangi (5 biji pil dimakan setiap pagi )

2. Pulih Balung sumsum (5 biji pil dimakan setiap petang )
3. Pilis Wangi ( untuk kesihatan mata --> di tepek pada dahi)
4. Tapel Raket Mustika Sejati (membantu mengurangkan berat badan --> disapu di perut).
5. Parem Segar Sumyah (untuk kesihatan badan --> disapu keseluruh badan)

6. Bubuk Bancar Air Susu (disapu pada payudara 2 kali sehari).
7. Minyak Telon (melegakan kembung perut --> di sapu pada perut bayi selepas mandi).


Furthermore, if you are buying the whole set, you'll get Ginasih sabun pembersih, minyak kayu putih, Mimi Lan caplet, and bengkung perut for free. The set also include CD for giving tutorial on how to wear the bengkung properly.

From my point of view, this Mustika Ratu set is quite good and efficient enough to help me to be healthy again and most importantly to get my original-non-bulky-shape *ye ker back to shape time anak dara? kui3x*. Wokeh, I admit..not really slim like anak dara but then I manage to wear all my size 28 jeans and baby tee again without hesitation ..*kira ok lah tu kan?*.



(2) Berpantang makan

Apart from all those jamu2 to apply on, of course confinement period also means restriction in certain foods a.k.a "makanan sejuk" including air sejuk...waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.... in fact ini lah yang paling susah nak di lalui.


2 minggu pertama I masa umi masih kat sini untuk jaga I, resipi berpantang I ialah --> nasi putih, ikan merah (bakar) or daging bakar, sawi, lada hitam. Strictly no buah-buahan yet since it is considered sejuk. As I'm getting better, and after my gynae has confirmed that luka2 luaran I dah sembuh, umi allowed me to eat ayam bakar *kira I beruntung lah leh makan ayam kan?*. Apart from that, after 30days I've started to eat apple sebab I rasa agak sembelit bila tak makan buah2an. Sebelum tu, I ada minum jus sayur yang I campur dengan air suam..jadi takderlah masalah sembelit yang kronik masa dalam pantang hari tu. Kalau I nak makan apa2 and tak sure whether the food is 'sejuk' or not, I'll ask my sister or I'll check the list from here.


Bagi I, berpantang seksa sebab kena control makan la. Itu sejuk, ini angin..sigh...pastu ada pulak faktor penggalak yang suka buat I terliur (read: incik hubby). Paling tak boleh tahan ialah since it is now summer season, dugaan dari 'air sejuk' dan 'aiskrim' is something that is totally hard to resist...haisyyy...setakat ni iman I masih teguh dan I tak sentuh pun lagi aiskrim..tapi bab air sejuk, I surrender . I mengaku I memang dah minum air sejuk since tak tahan sangat ..alhamdulillah setakat ni takder rasa sakit urat or whatsoever...tapi in the future I tak tau lah kan.



(3) Berpantang perbuatan

Tempoh berpantang juga di kenali sebagai tempoh berehat untuk kaum wanita as you are not allowed to do any heavy lifting, buat kerja berat (angkat pakaian di jemuran pon kira kerja berat tau), mandi lama2, bersila ( I tak tau takleh, hari ke 3 I dah bersila, cepat2 umi & mak andak tegur suruh duduk berismpuh semula). I read somewhere that mention even reading and sewing are not allowed..owh yang part reading memang I takleh pantang, hari ke 3 dah start berblogging muahahahhah.


Biasanya orang dalam pantang di suruh berehat dan tidur je time tengahari masa baby tidur so that if your baby gets cranky at night, taklah mommy rasa too tired to wake up and nurse the baby. 2 minggu pertama, memang I banyak rehat and sleeps during the day but as umi & mak andak went back to malaysia, I cant really sleep during the day as I have to cook for my own lunch and the only time that I get to do other thing is when my baby SN is sleeping.


One more important thing is that, orang dalam pantang is not really allowed to leave the house. Okeh, as you know me..this is the most difficult and challenging part above all those berpantang restrictions that I have to follow. Seriously, I stayed at home 24 hours a day for 5 consecutive days...and it is only during the weekend that I get the chance to walk out from the door. So, I admit that bab pantang berjalan ni I tak ikut sangat. Ngeeeeee... as you know I sibuk2 ikut time hubby bawak umi & mak andak jalan2 kat Ohori Koen masa hari ke 15 *sampai baby SN nangis tak brenti*. Apart from that, I ikut juga time hubby gi beli daging halal or gi amik duit kat bank *walaupun I cuma di benarkan duduk diam2 dalam kereta je hahahhaha*...and on the 39th day, hubby dah bawak I jalan2 kat Hakata since hubby cakap :"takperlah, beza satu hari je"..ngeee baik tak hubby I? .

(eksklusif utk tayangan di blog ini saja muahahhaha)

(4) Other things to consider during confinement period :-

# Mengurut :- done for 3 consecutive days to increase blood circulation and also to "betulkan peranakan a.k.a naikkan peranakan". Mak andak perform the massage to me to help to relocate the location of my uterus and also to get rid of "angin" inside my body *mengelakkan meroyan* ....I like it so much..rejuvenating!.


# Wear socks :- has to wear it at all time, day and night to avoid cold feet. I wear the socks exactly up to 40 days only as its getting hotter here and my feet is sweating like hell when I wear socks... masyam jadi kaki I.


# Intimacy relationship :- most of my blogger friends told me in this entry, that it is usually up to 100days.Understanding and patience from hubby is the main important thing. he'll have to wait if he want a virgin-like-wife aite? (haisyyy..malu I nak taip ni..tapi takper anggap berkongsi ilmu dengan kawan2 semua kan?).



Kesimpulannya (wah macam karangan zaman sekolah), berpantang is meant for healing process, losing weight, getting back to anak dara shape (hopefully) and also for some intimate issue in the future. Sebab itu lah kadang2, ada sesetengah larangan dalam pantang tu sounds ridiculous kalau di fikirkan dari segi logik akal dan pemikiran moden. As from my side, I ikut yang mana terdaya...yang mana tak leh tahan sangat tu, I redah juga..tapi taklah redah secara drastik gitu. I cuba sikit2, if it suits me in a way that didnt harm me..so I'll proceed with it (lain orang, lain sistem pertahanan tubuh dia kan? ).



Bersempena dengan tamatnya tempoh berpantang I yang officially jatuh pada 5 July 2009 *sebab I guna kalendar ore Qelate, berpantang 40hari je*, incik hubby telah bermurah hati untuk sama-sama meraikan kegembiraan I yang tak perlu lagi bertempek berbagai (ada ke istilah camni?) . I tak mintak emas, intan berlian dari Habib Jewels hatta Lazo Diamond pon...I cuma mintak hubby bawak I gi makan kat restoran Udon je hehehe...order ebi-ten udon (mi orang jepun, kuah sup + lauk udang celup tepung).

Pssssttt: konon2 masa order udon tu I tamak haloba nak makan 2 mangkuk, tapi tiba2 teringat yang pesanan my sis suh berpada2 mula2 nak makan apa2. nasib baik tak turutkan nafsu serakah mentekedarah tu sebab sebelah malam tu I rasa tak selesa sikit badan .. cepat2 sapu minyak panas sebelum tidur, baru lah rasa lega balik.

I'm no longer a Princess .. sob sob :(

Since 26th May up to 12th June, I was given a special treatment as if I'm a princess *okeh I mengaku..dari kecik memang berangan nak jadi puteri..siap ada nama untuk diri sendiri time koya2 i.e Puteri Cherrina Emilyia ngeh3x*. The special treatment and care were given by my MIL, my hubby's aunt and also from my hubby right after I gave birth to baby SN. I was not allowed to do any single work...by any single work here I mean anything at all regarding to house chores! .

Umi will cook my confinement dish and also cooked for hubby's o-bento(bekal) everyday. Mak Andak perform body massage to me for 3 consecutive days and also helping umi on doing the house chores i.e sapu & vacuum lantai, kemas umah, basuh & jemur baju baby SN, basuh & jemur baju my hubby and I, mandikan baby SN, dukung baby SN time dia nangis etc. Everytime I touch the broom, umi will quickly told me to let it go and she'll take the broom away from me and continue sweeping the floor .. siap cakap.."Tak yoh wat kijo..gi duduk, biar umi buat" . After baby SN having his shower (which was also performed by both of them), umi or mak andak will collect his clothes and washed it as I was not allowed to do any washing. I was not allowed to do either heavy or light lifting *angkat kain kat jemuran pon takleh apatah lagi nak angkat brg2 lain yg lagi berat*.

So, what am I doing as a Princess Yatie Chomeyl ???

I was just given special task to put on all those Mustika Ratu Confinement Set (tapel, param, pilis) to my body, eat on time (supaya perut tak masuk angin) and feed baby SN when he's hungry..that's it!. Apart from that, I was asked to just take a rest *walaupun sebenarnya I tak letih..tetap mommy kena berehat jugak* , which means I have lots of time to blog-hopping during that time.

When umi & mak andak went back to Malaysia last Saturday 13th June, hubby continue to treat me with the 'princess-treatment' as he took charge on doing the cooking, cleaning the house, washing the clothes and lend a helping hand for me to shower baby SN *susah rupanya nak mandikan baby sorang2, I tengok nurse kat spital wat cam senang jer huhuhu*.

(baby SN tdo nyenyak dalam dakapan tok umi : Fukuoka Int Airport 13/06/09))

As sweetness of life will never be everlasting, so do my life as Princess Yatie Chomeyl which has finally comes to an end. Hubby has to be outstation for three days field trip in Nobeoka (i.e 5 hours journey with car from here) starting Tuesday until this Thursday...sob..sob..sob ...*baru 20 hari dalam pantang dah kena tinggal berdua je dengan baby SN kat umah*.


Kelam kabut sang kalibut .. that's what happen to me yesterday as I have to learn to take care baby SN on my own together with doing the house chores *tu pon I tak kemas umah pon..cuma masak je*. My first experience of showering baby SN on my own was totally a disaster!. I couldnt even finish bathing him as he cries all the time that I bath him. Dah la siap terjatuh botol shower gel dalam bath tub dia, nasib baik tak terkena kaki my hero. I tak pernah tengok baby SN nangis kuat2 gitu, siap nangis sampai tak keluar suara. I was so freaked out so I quickly pakaikan barut perut + pampers (tak sempat sapu minyak telon pon kat perut), balut baby SN dengan blanket and peluk dia kemas2 then I pon join baby SN nangis2 jugak (tapi takder lah I melalak kuat2 macam baby SN). Seriously, once I become a mother...I can easily cry 10000000000 times faster than before *sebelum ni pon memang dah cengeng senang nangis*. It hurt me so much when I hear my baby's cry..sigh. Takut sangat bila tengok baby SN camtu sampai terketar2 badan I..luckily after I hug him, he stop crying ...fuh, lega mommy.

Whenever he's asleep I'll quickly do all the needful things that I have to do. Even when I was having my bath or go to toilet, I have just left the bathroom door wide open as I'm afraid that I cant hear if he was crying if I shut the door closely *nak poo-poo pon tak senang hati huhuhu*. Whenever I was about to eat, he will start crying so I decided to wear the baby pouch and carry him with me while I'm having my meal. Luckily, he sleeps well at night *ke mommy yang tido mati tak sedar baby SN nangis?*. So, I get enough sleep and rest during nightime. Plus, I will also sleep with him during daytime after lunch..jadi taklah I tired sangat.



Maybe baby SN rasa sunyi since tok umi, mak andak & daddy tiba2 takde di sisi dia .. maklumlah sejak lahir ada ramai orang kat sekeliling...tiba2 tinggal berdua je dgn mommy, tu yang dia tak selesa nak duduk sorang2 atas tilam kot. Baby umur 20hari macam baby Nazhan dah tahu apa erti rindu tak? I noticed that since umi & mak andak went back to Malaysia, baby SN nak manja2 extra dan nak beriba compared to masa umi & mak andak were still here. Agaknya Nazhan rindu kat tok umi.


Whatever it is, I take it as my early lesson on how to take good care of my child on my own...and hopefully today and tomorrow will be a better day for both of us compared to yesterday.

Psssttt: Masa menaip entry nih pon, I riba baby SN on my lap since dia akan start nangis kalau I tak layan dia. Owh petang khamis cepatlah muncul... 3hari ku rasa ibarat 3 minggu lamanya hohoho.

5 days in Nagano Clinic

Hola ..wah siap hola2 bagai...hepi la weh sebab dah discharged dari spital dan dah leh balik rumah manis rumah home sweet home ...yabeda beddu...yippeee...

I spent 5 days at Nagano Clinic after delivering baby SN and was discharged on Sunday 31st May 2009. I have to stay for 5 days as it was the procedure for maternal hospital here in Japan, even if mommy & baby is already in good shape of health.

I was given a 5 star treatment during that 5 days that it make me feels like "Dude, I'm a Princess! ".Macam mana I tak cakap I ni princess, nurse siap tukarkan my maternal pad sebab I tak larat nak bangun beberapa jam lepas bersalin tuh. Bila dah cukup I tidur 12jam, nurse kejutkan dan papah bawa ke toilet untuk pee. Baby SN were taken care by the nurse so that I get more than enough time to take a rest to recover from exhaustion after meneran baby SN.


1) Food served :-

Giler memang makanan macam tuan puteri Jepun tapi oh tidakkkk.... According to umi, most of the food served by them is "sejuk" thus, instead of I'm eating it..I will save it in the fridge for hubby to eat it later *yer lah..dah bayar mahal, takkan tak mo makan plak..bazir je*. Looking at the food served (read: pinneaple, apple juice, prawn, peach, kiwi, grapefruit, etc), memang sungguh2 mencabar keimanan orang yang dalam berpantang.

But I managed to put myself together and remind my perut & tekak that if I want to recover from this 'bulky-blunt-body' to a 'gorgeous-slim-body', I have to be committed during this confinement period..sabar jerlah Yatie Chomeyl weh!.


2) Baby's treatment :-

Baby was fully taken care by the nurse after the delivery until the next day. Then, baby will be engaged with mommy on hourly basis day by day. On the 1st day, the nurse will give the baby to mommy from 11a.m - 8p.m. On the 2nd day, baby will be with mommy from 9a.m - 11 p.m. Only on the 3rd, 4th and 5th day...baby will be staying in the same room with mommy for 24hours..tu pon baby akan di mandikan oleh makcik2 nurse tu at 9a.m everyday, mommy cuma suapkan susu ngan tukar diapers je. Plus, nurse2 tu siap pesan kalau mommy rasa tak larat, just buzz them from the intercom, and they'll come to pick baby SN and look after him for me...isk3x..*tak larat apa nyer...siap sempat update blog dari spital ngeh3x *.

Baby's poo-poo and pee-pee have to be recorded at every 3hours, not forgetting the amount of glucose given to baby, *sebab I bagitau nak fully breastfeed baby, so spital provide glucose just in case my milk is not enough for baby SN*. Baby's and mommy's weight, temperature and pressure was also recorded twice a day for health check. On the 3rd day, hearing test and jaundice check were performed to my baby..alhamdulillah, everything is good and there's nothing to be worried about .



3) Mommy's treatment :-

Special guides and instructions on how to change baby's diapers, how to breastfeed my baby, how to bath my baby, how to hold my baby, how to do breast-massage on my own ... memang step-by-step instructions cara2 menjaga baby. Walaupun I dah ada pengalaman jaga adik2 sendiri seramai 5 orang tu, tapi pengalaman jaga anak sendiri memang sangat2 lain daripada jaga adik2. Masa special guide on how to bath your baby, other moms were also invited to the session. Baby SN plak jadi model of the day...yang geramnya, dia nangis sungguh2 masa shower session tu..malu mommy di buatnya..alih2 bila dah siap mandi wangi2, terus diam je isk3x .

(changing Nazhan's diapers - bhgn tertentu anggota tubuh baby SN di kaburkan untuk menjaga aurat beliau ngeh3x)


Apart from that; every morning, midwife will perform breast massage to me in order to produce more milk. Not forgetting a 40 minutes aroma-theraphy massage were performed to my body...giler arh sgt best time ni,siap tidur dengkur2 ...pastu siap cakap dengan incik hubby "nak beranak lagi sorang kat jepun lah kalau camni "..ngeh3x.

4) Lovely visits and precious gifts :-

Within that 5days stay at Nagano Clinic, family (read : only hubby, umi & mak andak) and friends has been kind enough to visit me and baby Nazhan. Besides paying a visit, they also bring along gifts to baby Nazhan *tenkiu..tenkiu...I likeeeee*. Tapi sebab syiok sangat borak, terlupa pulak nak ngambik gambar kawan2 yang datang, but anyway..thanks to Ain, A-t-qah, Diana, Nihon-go Sensei, Abg Shoiful, Kak Pora's family, Kak Yati's family and Kak Liza's family for visiting baby Nazhan and also for the gifts.

(gambar2 yang sempat di ambil, ada gak hadiah2 yg gelojoh sgt di buka tak sempat snap pictures)

I would like to dedicate a special thanks to my hubby for this lovely beautiful bouquet of roses and a vase of orchid . Though I didnt really say thanks when you gave it to me *malu la nak romantik2 depan umi & mak andak...ceettttt,pooodah..alasan jer tuh*, but I truly appreciate your effort on selecting those gifts to show your gratitude to me for giving birth to our baby SN. I love you so much muah muah *ceh, romantik2 kat blog tak tau malu pulak..heran2x *.

Overall cost for giving birt at Nagano Clinic including those 5 days stay costs 445 475 yen (RM 16 145) ....huhuhu..mau terberak terbangkrap incik hubby kalau nak fully bayar amount tuh kan?

Not to worry because Japanese government gave an amount of money i.e 380 000 yen (Rm 13 767) for giving birth in Japan.
Thus, hubby have just to pay the balance 65 475 yen (RM 2373) for those luxurious treatment and 5 star stays at Nagano Clinic..
Plus, baby will receive 10 000 yen (RM 360) every month and that money will be bank-in to daddy's account in 3 times installment per year. Oleh itu mari lah beramai2 bersalin di Jepun...sekian iklan percuma dari saya ... time kaseh hehehe .

Pssssstttt: Berapa agaknya bayaran bersalin di hospital swasta di Malaysia kalau stay untuk 5 hari dengan layanan tuan puteri sebegitu?
