Does drinking ice cold water or eating ice cubes negatively impact our body's recovery process after vaginal delivery?

Question

Answer

I have never heard of this... but. It's water...

Answer

I've been too by one of my Asian patients that cold water freezes the uterus, and I wouldn't be able to get pregnant with all the ice water I was drinking. Just a superstition.

Answer

They give you ice water in the hospital, your fine

Answer

No. It's water. Youre 70% water.

Answer

You're joking.... right?

Answer

The Asian (mostly Chinese but I have Korean friends who do this so may be more widespread) belief is not ingesting anything cold for a certain period of time post birth. I think a month but it may be longer. It's to keep the body warm.

Answer

I work at an obgyn office and the doctors say this is fine. It's just water 💦

Thanks for the response ladies :)
