Sarah Song admits challenges of being in confinement

20 Sep – TVB artiste Sarah Song recently took to social media to share her thoughts about giving birth to her first baby.

The TV personality, who welcomed a baby boy in late August, shared a throwback photo from her previous pregnancy shoot, admitting that the whole experience was just as she expected and more.

She wrote, "Always knew that motherhood wasn't going to be a walk in the park. Pregnancy was just the beginning, and I was lucky that everything was rather smooth sailing."

Said Sarah, the first few weeks of postpartum have definitely been challenging even though she had prepared herself thoroughly for it.

"I was prepared for sleepless nights and the perseverance needed for breastfeeding, but no one properly mentioned that postpartum swelling and sweating, baby blues, raging hormones, C-section wound recovery and confinement in summer (a whole month where you sit on your butt at home to recover and you are told to wear long sleeve PJs...) was all gonna hit you at once... definitely FAR from glamorous!"

However, Sarah admitted that it was all worth it when she has her baby in her arms and husband Jason Chan with her.

The actress also expressed hope that she will finally be able to regain her old self once she is over her confinement period, which will come in a few weeks' time.
