I didn't engage for the first one. And not intending to engaged for the 3rd one too. After handling the first one, you will naturally have a better hand on how to handle a newborn. But most important, do you have anyone helping you to handle your elder child?
No, unless ur #1 is good n u gonna hire the same CL. If not big No! Confinement too precious to risk hiring someone who may annoy u n they are expensive. If u r determined yes def can cope. Get little help from hub, mom n mil? Or some close gf?
No. There is no guarantee in having a good cf lady. We pay so much and yet there is no guarantee. I would rather do it all myself.
I never engaged for both my pregnancies. Did everything by myself. It's too expensive to have a confinement lady.
