Post-miscarriage confinement

This is harder than I thought, writing about my miscarriage. Too lengthy. What's harder is the post-miscarriage confinement.

If you're Chinese and there was a life growing inside of you, confinement is mandatory.

Confinement is fiiiine. Usually, you just eat special nutritious drunken food, rest and gaze at your newborn sleeping most of the time. But if it's after a miscarriage, it's just special nutritious drunken food, rest and a daily reminder about the unfortunate event. How so?

Everytime I want to drink something, it's not water, it's the red date longan wolfberry herbal drink and it's a reminder of the unfortunate event.

Everytime at dinner, I have to eat the drunken chicken with kilos of ginger, and it's a reminder of the unfortunate event.

Everytime after I shower, I have to dry my hair fast and keep myself warm with leggings and socks, and it's a reminder of the unfortunate event.

Everyday for a month, I get reminded of the unfortunate event.

I'll write my story when I get the mojo.

I'm so sorry to hear that :( Our babies are with the angels.

Confinement after a miscarriage is the same with any other confinement. Just basically eat a balanced diet. I ate chicken cooked with lots of ginger and wine. Add a dash of DOMs if you have. I also took pao shen, not sure what's the English name for it.

Hope that helps!
