How long after a vaginal birth do I have to wait to take a bath? I miss baths 😔

call your drs office and talk to the nurse told hey should be able to give you an accurate answer because you have stitches

you're supposed to wait 6 weeks due to your cervix being open. it can cause infection

I had a 4th degree tear and I was able to bathe 🙂 like @sarahb518 said, just make sure you pat dry really well. The water will feel amazing, I know it did for me!

As far as I know it's fine to bathe in just water. But I didn't have stitches, so I'm not 100% sure.

Just make sure you dry very well

Even though I have stitches? @sarahb518

You can take them anytime. I took one as soon as I got home from the hospital. But you can't use bubble bath or bath bombs or anything til you get your doctors ok at your 6 week check up
