My MIL told me to forget about taking a shower or washing my hair one month after giving birth or I will be plagued by headaches and rheumatism for the rest of my life. Any truth to this?

Take warm showers and towel dry quickly if you are worried about catching a cold. Ensure that your wound, especially if you’ve had a C-section, is properly dried after bathing.
