I had some vaginal tearing and I was told not to take a bath but I dying for one. can any ladies tell me how long they…

I had a couple stitches and took a bath the day after my son was born at the hospital. it was my "me" time.

I was never told I couldn't bathe. I tore too with my first really bad and was stitched up. baths helped the constipation from the pain meds for some reason. It must be different Dr's and hospitals have different policies. I bet you could Google it and find out for sure.

i had a tearing with my first and wasn't told i couldn't take a bath...in fact they gave me a little bottle of water to wash there everytime i went to the bathroom. i even took a bath in the hospital

@chewy1228, really? I was told no wiping and no baths

My OB said I could take a sitz bath but the nurse told me no baths, I'm going with the OB over the nurse lol. And it's been 2weeks for me also

I had 2nd degree trauma PLUS tearing. I was never told I couldn't take a bath. I was just told to watch what kinds of soap I use down there

what all they put in the water

It was. I'm going to do it again this time around. I'll be in the tub the next day.

@sexxymama83, that sound amazing

When I had my daughter they had me in the tub the next day. I tore also. They (the nurses) made me an herbal bath. It was amazing......
