Hi all,

There seems to be some observance of three (3) months in waiting by women right from
childbirth before they start to move out.

What could be a succinct significance of this time frame?
Is it 'hard-cast'? Does it amount to any consequence (of course, excluding medically) if a woman
resumes normal pre-pregnancy lifestyle soon after childbirth (i.e. in less than three months)?

Does it present any risk to the child if being taken out less than three months after birth?

These posers beg for candid consideration.

Thanks.

I only have one question.

In what planet is this observance practiced?

Move out to where?

if a woman
resumes normal pre-pregnancy lifestyles soon after childbirth (i.e. in less than three months)?

Please, stop beating about the bush. . . If you mean having sex soon after child birth. . .I have 2 children only 10 months apart who celebrate their birthdays in the same year. We are all still very much alive and well.

Next question please.

You can go anywhere you want with your child at anytime after childbirth as long as you are both medically fit.

Na wa oh. Why don't you super glue her as.s to the couch

I dont get what you mean poster, move out where? If you mean sex as in pre-pregnancy lifestyle, you only have to wait 6 weeks to have sex again.

I understand what u mean. I know that in Igbo culture, u do a ceremony translated to be "bringing a child out". This is usually after 3 months when they say the child is going out for the first time. It is usually to Church and is called "Churching". I guess its cos Igbos don't do naming ceremonies.

That being said, u can still take the child out b4 dat time but be careful. Make sure the environment is conducive ie don't take him 2 d market lol. It has become somehow outdated. Its just 4 ceremony sake.

^^^I thought that was what she meant but decided to wait for her to clarify better. I think she means the normal Igbo culture/ tradition thingy where the woman stays back at home for 3 months after which she is allowed to take the child to church or outings.

sounds like it's a cultural tradition.

Most of the world has mum and baby out and about as soon as mum feels up to it, within a few days. You wouldn't jump straight back into everything, the woman needs a few weeks to recover her strength, but I've never heard before of them having to stay at home for 3 months.
