thanks ladies

Hot water also helps if you get hemoroids or are really swollen

I shower with baby bath to keep from burning , I also put witch hazel on cotton rounds and put them in my pads to reduce swelling and soreness

Shower like normal and u have a little squeeze bottle that they give u. I used that bc u are very sore. I took a shower about 4 hours after I had my son.

thanks ladies it's weird that I'm thinking about smells and not pain

You will be able to shower after your epidural wears off. and if you have a csection they'll give you a chair. It'll be the most refreshing shower lol. You'll be sore but nothing unbearable.

@cubanese Really you didn't have any pain ?
