    old wives tale from my nanay

    Recently, my mum sort of had a go at me when I told her that pregnant woman here gets a shower/bath after she delivers a baby. She was saying that I shouldn't take a shower because I might go crazy and all that kind of stuff. She said if ever I would have a shower I should wait for like 5 days to a week and should not last for 5 minutes.

    Has anyone of you heard of that or is it just me?
