My Confinement Experience at KIMPORO Postnatal Center

Jan 26, 2017

Assalamualaikum and Olla everyone!

I am writing this on my bed in the middle of the night during my last few days staying here at Kimporo Postnatal Center. Will be checking out in the next 3 days. As mentioned earlier, in my other post and my family and I decided to spend 2 weeks of my confinement journey here. As promised, here is my experience at Kimporo Postnatal Center. Let’s start shall we?

Kimporo Postnatal Center is located at Level 6 & 7, 30A, Menara Ruyi, Lorong Kapar, Jalan 2/87G, Off Jalan Syed, Putra, 58000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. You can easily waze or use google map to get to the location. The whole building is tailored for confinement need. They have restaurant, cafe, baby center, hair salon, spa, facial place, guest house and even car wash in the same building. They thought of everything!

I check in 3 days after I gave birth, right after being released by my doctor from Tropicana Hospital. Upon arrival, I was given a briefing my Linda. She is one of the nurses that work here at Kimporo. I was informed of the house rules, the visiting hours from 9am – 10pm, also the maximum of 4 guest could come in at a time, Thank you Linda for being very welcoming. She also took my blood preassure reading upon arrival.

This is the utility area, the room have a baby changing area, with dustbin, a small fridge and also a small pantry area. Do you know that once you check in to Kimporo, you dont have to worry about your baby clothes? As they provide all baby needs from top to toe to be used in house. There are swaddle, cloth diaper, baby clothes and also cotton to be dipped in water to clean up after baby. Parents are encouraged to clean up after baby but if you need help, expecially in the early stages of recovering, nurses are always happy to change your baby’s diaper when ever needed. They also gave your baby a bath on every morning.

Hello everyone. I am Johan, illy’s husband. Since sekarang ni Illy dalam pantang, I would like to take this opportunity untuk nak hijack sementara with my write up. Without further due, let’s move on to the post.

On 17^th and 18^th of December 2016, FIM Asia held the Grand Finale of FIM Asia Supermoto Championship at Shah Alam Stadium. It was a two-days event, packed with action. I went there with my friend Taariq a.k.a @kakironda who is a photographer (you may check his site here). We were given a media access pass for the entire event. Overwhelming nonetheless, especially the part where we get to go very close to the racers, paddock as well as the whole track. First time woo, sebelum ni asyik duduk behind the safety barriers je.

To be honest, we went there on the final day only which was on the 18^th December 2016. Sampai je kat situ, terus parking and headed towards the media centre to redeem the media pass. Syukur ada media pass as the weather for the whole day was great for outdoor event (no rain) tapi panas sampai hampir berdesing jugak. So kitorang kejap2 masuk ke media centre sebab dalam tu ada aircond. Haha.

Dapat access masuk paddock area.

Do you have a sensitive skin? Even if you dont, I have a brand to introduce to you today. It is so gentle that I have been using it the past 3 weeks and planning to use it during my confinement too. During pregnancy and after giving birth, it is no secret that hormone goes haywire and during my previous pregnancy I had lots of breakout. Which is why I tend to use gentle product for my skincare as it reduce the change of breakout. During my pregnancy this round, I am happy that skin is the least of my concern as I do know face any break out even when my hormone is going to for a roller coaster ride haha..

What makes Eau Thermale Avène range so special is because all their product contain Avène Thermal Spring Water. Avène thermal water comes from a spring with deep origins resulting from very old rainfall. Do you know that it has remained infiltrated in the ground for more than forty or fifty years? The water migrates very slowly from the depths to the surface within a geological layer of dolomite and dolomitic limestone, absorbing minerals as it moves along ascending pathways. The original point of discharge of Avène Thermal Spring Water is the Ste Odile spring. The traditional spring, declared to be of public interest in 1874, continues to impress with its abundance and the constant flow of 70,000 litres per hour. This thermal water is classified as having a low mineral content and by the presence of both calcium bicarbonate and magnesium. Its main characteristics include a significant amount silicates, a low sodium, a calcium / magnesium ratio of 2 (expressed in mg / l minerals) and a wide variety of different trace elements.

Today the benefits of treatment with Eau Thermale Avène Spring Water have been clearly demonstrated in babies, children, adults and seniors suffering from chronic and disabling conditions such as atopic dermatitis and eczema, psoriasis, ichthyosis, as well as gingivitis and glossitis. It can also be used in post-cancer or post-radiotherapy and burn care. Basically it is very good for your skin and the ability to not only gives you the best skin condition but also to heal severe skin issues.

Like seriously, it is so good that they even have a Hydrotherapy Center all the way in France. It would be my dream comes true if I ever get to visit the center and experience the treatment. I learned all about the center and insight about the brand during the event that I went last month.

Do you know that the first 6 years of child’s life are the most crucial stages of their development? A positive start in life helps every child to develop to their fullest and is critical for the advancement of an entire society. Main areas would be physical growth, as well as her ability to learn the social, emotional, behaviour, thinking and communication skills.

Studies have shown that child learn the most during play time and being a working mum, I didnt havethe luxuries to play with her as much as I wanted to. Which is why I am very happy when I come across BeeBop Circus. They are the professional when it comes to teaching kids through play.
