Confinement without nanny

I'm a first time mum and delivering in June. For the past few months I thought I have made up my mind not to engage a nanny partly due to space and budget constraints. However, my family members start telling me recently that I should really engage one but for some reason I feel that we can manage without one. Here are some facts to share; do let me know your views! We live in a one bedroom apartment. Husband will be taking paternity leave. Husband has no problem with laundry and housework. Our mothers can drop by a few hours a day. We'll be ordering confinement meals. Based on the above, does it seem ok that we can go without a confinement lady?

I just gave birth on th 19th. I didn't engage any nanny. but I stay with my in laws so my mother in law helps me to shower my baby . I order confinement meal for lunch and dinner . During th day when my mil is out working , I could ownself take care of my baby . For my girl she will wakeup 2-3hrs for her feed after that she will be slping . So while she slp I could eat my meals or just nap until I hear her cries for milk .
