Not going out during confinement

I’m quite an active person and soon to be FTM, and was wondering is it pantang to go out at all during the confinement period? Both my mum n MIL said NO cannot else will have “wind” go in, but I think I’ll be very depressed if totally can’t step out during 28 days. Of course, will prefer to recover n be with baby most of the time. But this feels like a superstition more than a recovery thing. Any thoughts?

when i was a FTM i too dont believe in superstitious.. family keeps telling me dont do this and that, cannot eat this and that but i ignored.. i was also a very active person hates staying at home.. now am at my 4th child and i'm feeling the effect.. i didnt wear socks after my 1st child, while confining, i accidentally hit my toes against a chair... its hurts till now, 5 years later.. i slept with aircon while confining, now i shiver when its abit cold(cold wind). i didnt believe till it happened to me.. walking is a form of exercise, yes, but it also exerts alot of energy when you are suppose to be resting.. Maybe different body will react differently, but its better to be safe thn sorry in the future.. All the aches and pain wont affect immediately but will gradually creep up on you as you get even more older.. Also the malays believes that evil spirits likes the fresh blood of the 1st child... if you go out before the baby turns 3months, they might follow you home.. idk bout this lah but just giving heads up.. hahaha
