Can I drink water after giving birth? Will it cause any joint problem?

I have been told to drink only red date tea esp during the first month. Cant drink water, also cant touch water.. They said it will cause joint problem in the future or u will be sensitive to wind. I normally drink alot of water at least 2 littre everyday for so long, and suddenly will have to totally cut down my water intake. I dont know if i can survive 😅 Any mummies can u pls share ur experience? TIA!

It's a myth! Do drink a lot of water during your confinement period otherwise you'll have more problems like constipation, more fatigue, etc. No, your womb will not swell or you'll have joint problem in the future or you'll have water retention (yes, if you drink less!) which is by common sense, BS & it has also been debunked by doctors 😅 You need to drink a lot for more breast milk. And also, do shower for hygiene reasons. Not sure about red dates tea but I've read some mummies here stopped drinking that cos it was too heaty for them.
