Feeling frustrated

Ftm here. Due in Jun. I have already paid deposit for a confinement many with an agency and in the process of hiring a helper. Both husb and me are working full time and our parents are sickly. So we have no help at all. Been reading reviews on nanny and helper and now thinking if I should just risk it and DIY instead of taking the risk that I might have 2 more trouble instead. My husband is the lazy, unhygienic type. He can't even wash anything properly. Caught him not using any detergent when washing utensils. He just rinse his cup with water. My nepresso milk frother had stains after he claimed he had washed it. I am not confident of the helper although interviewed her twice. She has a child but her child was brought up by her mum as she went to another state to work one month after giving birth. Lastly I feel that the house is so small already.. 90sqm. It is starting to get so cluttered with all the baby stuff. How can we accommodate 3 more pax...

FTM here too, similar situation as yours but due in Aug. just as others advise, better to not risk it and DIY. We are in the midst of hiring helper as well, hoping for helper to arrive may-june to get used to the chores and our style before baby and confinement nanny comes. Both husband and I really too tired to do housework well everyday, so we know we need the helper to take care of chores and baby in the long run. Confinement nanny is definitely helpful to teach parents and helper how to take care of baby as well, I'd say go for both even though it may feel overwhelming now and crowded at home. As other mummies say, your rest and recovery is most impt postpartum 💪
