My weekend - Traditional massage with Indonesian 'bibik'

Today as planned since earlier of the month, I treated myself and mom for a traditional massage with this 1 Indonesian 'bibik', who is also the same person massaged me during after my miscarriage.

As u all know, bibik is a named given to Indonesian female who works as a nanny. She insisted to be called bibik, so me and my mom called her by that name. Bibik is very good in traditional massage, a talent which she inherited from her mother and late grandmother. People who suffered from strokes & other disabilities had improve a lot after seeking for bibik's treatment. Yes, she is that good.

I still remember I could barely walk after the miscarriage episode but was instantly back to my normal state after getting 3 treatments from bibik. And because of that, I chose to seek for her treatment anytime I am in need. I love the way she massages, becos she doesnt go for the whole body like she has no clue. She really knows what she's doing. She looks for veins and nerves and massages those areas only.

My mom kept complaining to me how she suffered from muscle pains and difficulty to walk properly. I instantly promised her to bring her for the treatment and Alhamdulillah, this morning I had fulfilled my niat (and she was very happy with it, I promised her to bring her again for more treatment the following months).

Bibik massaged mom more than an hour although her payment was just for an hour service. She is very generous. After mom finished with her treatment, finally it was my turn. Yes, I had a treatment too :-)

After my miscarriage, I found out that my womb was not properly placed at the right spot. It was wrongly placed at the right-side of my abdomen, and bibik said that was why I had the miscarriage. According to her,   this happened since I was a kid.

Prior to the treatments I got from bibik, my womb has finally placed properly (she massaged the uterus area, known as 'sangkak' in malay) but lately, I had the feeling that my womb had once again fell at the right-side of my abdomen due to the light pains which I felt everyday at that area. And I was right, today bibik told me it had fell again to the wrong place (maybe due to heavy duty work) and she massaged and repaired it back to its place. Now it's back to normal and any pains I endured has stopped.

Bibik adviced me to use a corset, a kind of cloth which women wears on their abdomen or body area in order to tighten the area (to look confident and to hide fats). She said, that way, my womb will stay in place and eventually stay in the right place forever. I was wondering where to get those corset when bibik offered me her corset which she used once upon a time. She was very kind enough not accepting any money for that. I was very grateful.

Later this afternoon me and my husband went to Tesco store to buy the corset and it costed me only RM12, how cheap is that. I am having one (which the bibik gave me) and another one which I bought today, and planned to buy some more next month.

Obviously this is not me :-P But this is 1 type of a corset

Bibik convinced me that I am now as healthy as a horse. Before saying goodbye to bibik in front of her doorsteps, she said, "You are good to go! And now, start to put efforts to conceive! You know, make babies!!" ;-)

Wish me luck!xoxo
