As a new mother life is quite tough when you just learning to fit into the role, to make things worse family and friends them self bombard the new mother with postpartum myths.
Here is one such message I received recently from a mommy.

“ 1. Since I have delivered baby we have theetu and it seems my *husband* should not touch or hug me or pamper me.
2. Since I delivered boy baby, later on also I should not be in romantic relationship with my husband as per my wish because it will make my baby sick it seems.

I’m only 24 yrs and its really horrible to listen to their advices because I feel like my life is over even before it has started.
They their own set of rules and regulations followed by elders of the family which is literally cruel.”
