Confinement Nanny - Yay or Nay?

Hi Ladies, as im approaching my 3rd trimester im having a lot of people ask me if we are getting a confinement nanny, or that we absolutely need one etc. My mum told me she got by all 3 kids without getting one, and my partner and i are sorta against strangers in our place for a month. Hes an amazing cook and will be taking the first month off when baby arrives. I guess my question is how essential is having a confinement nanny? And did any of you mummies not have one and got along just okay? Thk you!

I'm T2 now and have hired a nanny, but that's because it's my first kid, we have no confidence in taking care and would like someone to take charge in the house. My parents have no confidence too, they said it's been too long and they have forgotten how to do confinement and infantcare. My friends have advised that I definitely will need a helping hand, as the mum will basically just be a milking factory and the baby is a poop machine. Milking and cleaning up poop will take the full day with no rest. Another friend has also advised getting a CN is just putting off the chaos for 1 month for you to get used to the routine of having a kid. These friends didn't get a CN but had parents who came to help out.
