Confinement at own mom’s or MIL’s?

Currently planning on confinement. My mom is a working mom whereas my MIL is a housewife. My MIL’s house is extremely clean, neat and tidy whereas my house is normal, sometimes can get messy. Thing is over at my MIL’s if I do my confinement there, there is a single bed for me and my hubby will sleep on the mattress on the floor. And honestly I am not that comfortable staying with my in-laws (also a lot of pantang) as compared to my mom’s. Both moms can help to cook confinement food for me. My MIL also mentioned that she can help to look after the baby (take turns). It’s just that I feel restricted there. Whereas my mom is a working mom, I can’t expect much from her but I’ll be more comfortable at my mom’s. My hubby wants me to confine at his mom’s (more freedom for him in a way) but for me, I know I’ll not be very comfortable. Help.

I think you have to choose the one whom you are most comfortable with. I guess that’s your mom’s house. You will have a lot on your plate after you give birth e.g. hormonal changes, pain, recovery and lack of sleep. It will be hard on you if you still have to feel restricted at your in laws’ place. While your husband may not feel as comfortable, your physical and emotional well being are more important.
