Postpartum in India is celebrated in rituals, gatherings and expectations—but what about the actual needs of a new mother?In this episode, I unpack 5 ways Indian women can experience a gentler, more supported postpartum phase—especially in the midst of complex family dynamics. From the emotional toll of unsolicited advice to the silent pressure to perform as a "good bahu," we explore how the early days after birth can feel more like a test than a time for healing.We also talk about the vital role partners play—not just in baby care, but in mediating boundaries, protecting the mother’s space, and making sure her voice isn’t drowned out by cultural noise.I also touch upon a deeply sensitive issue: the bias between families that exist with respect to the new family unit, the relationship with in laws , privacy and emotional boundaries—and how that dynamic can affect postpartum wellbeing.If you're a new parent, expecting, or simply navigating these unspoken tensions, this episode will give you tools to make postpartum not just survivable—but sacred.Support the showSign up for Childbirth Preparation Programs! visit https://birthagni.com/services#childbirth-preparation-programs https://birthagni.com/copy-of-services#breastfeeding-preparation-program This episode is supported and made possible by podcast recording and hosting tool Zencastr, it is impeccably made!
