I remember I wanted to sooooooo bad after my second csection, I think I was having bath with drawals haha (this is making me want to take one right now). I waited two weeks, I didnt care anymore I was like o well if it gets infected I will just get meds, pretty dumb but I wanted a bath. I waited two weeks and took a nice long, hot, one and then made sure I just stood up and showered really good after and cleaned the incision. Dont shave in the tub though bc of the hair getting in it, mine never got infected though and everything was fine.
@HomeBirthAdvocate wow the advice in UK is the opposite, at least it was for me after a vaginal birth, they ran me a bath maybe 2 hours after delivery at the hospital & advised me to bathe at home as well
bathtime for me after Evie was a loooong 5 days after my section, but with Josh( 10 yrs ago) i had a bath the very next day. Also in the Uk. And no problems at all with either.
