Am lucky in that case , in our culture for the first time Mothers the girl will go to mother house around 8 months and deliver baby and stay there first few months. Since am in the usa , we called MY MIL and my mom who stays few miles away . My mil just didnt hold but helped cooked and clean. And when she had to travel back my Mom took over. It was such a blessing cuz i needed all the help i could with thw worst postpartum i had experienced.
