Pantang Bersalin

Amalan berpantang differs btw states & cultures. Take for instance btw Johor & Kedah. Kalau ikut Kedah, sesetengah ikan yg tak gatal je boleh makan eg ikan seludu, nyok2, haruan. Tapi ikut Johor / jawa ( acc to MIL ) semua ikan boleh makan. Kalau ikut my Mak , daging semua blh mkn. Ayam kampung boleh gak. Tp ayam dgg tk boleh mula2 tu. I paling suka sup waktu dlm pntang. Normally Mak put heaps of garlic & Ginger in it. Selain buang angin, it's good utk tambah susu. My usual menu during the 1st 3 weeks ; nasi panas, sup ( haruan, daging or ayam kg) & lauk goreng ( eg: ikan grg, dgg goreng halia, paru / hati/ limpa grg ). Kdg2 Mak buat nasi lemuni for breakfast. But my usual breakfast is toasts & milk.
Dlm pntang I mmg tak ambik jamu2. Badan tak thn. Panas sgt kut. Masa bersalin kat lysa, I try gak. But I had headache & sore throat. So, terus stop. Since I bersalin semua ceaser, I took jelly gamat ( orange flavour ), tab haruan & vitamins. Anmum materna mmg I minum in btw meals nak bg susu byk. Pil garlic I amik gak. Very good utk buang angin & elakkan constipation.
As for berurut, normally urut 1 bdn except for perut. Bila Luka dah heal betul2 ( selalunya after 6 mths ), baru I berurut seluruh bdn for 3 days in a row. Masa ni bidan also betulkn peranakan ( bahasa utara: ram batu merian). I prefer this 1 bidan ( Tok long ). Dia urut mmg tak sakit & afterwards badan rasa ringan & refresh je. Yg best angin bdn kita keluar thru dia. Klau org tu byk angin, waktu mengurut tu, Tok long akn sendawa je. Klau teruk sgt dia yg nak termuntah kluarkn angin!
I have another 24 days to go. Pantang 44 hari. Tp certain food I pntang sampai 100 hari. Ada gak food yg pantg 1 year eg air kelapa muda & jambu batu. During pntg 44 hari ni, I mmg tak kluar rumah except klau kena pegi hospital. As for mandian, Mak akan bagi I mandi air rebusan inai, pandan & serai wangi. Sometimes campur daun lemuni.
