C section mom's.. how long did you wait until you took a sit bath ??

I did at 3 weeks because I love my baths. They say to wait until your pp visit but I couldn't

@athomas yeah. And even when I went to my pp visit Dr. Said no..

I'm super bummed I think now is a good time I'm like 7-8 weeks pp. Baby was born day before mothers day

@shanadaniels77, what was their reasoning for saying no

I'm 3 weeks pp today and I'm bleeding and my incision was slightly open, so ughhh idk I want a bath

They didn't say. I asked. And was just told not to take a bath at that time..

I still havent. Though the incision is completely healed i havent brought myself to do so.

I even asked the nurses before I left the hospital..

My scar is healed on the outside, and I've been exercising.. I think I'm gonna go ahead and start taking baths again

I miss my baths 😔😔

@m_phillips_s yeah mine is too.. but I have been reading alot of women have actually taken baths sooner.. even when they weren't completely healed

@shanadaniels77 hmm. How was your incision and cervix? I was just like I can't go swim then im gonna swim in my bath hahaha. Jk. I took a bath everyday of pregnancy

@shanadaniels77 my baby was born two days before mothers day

@g_lynn I wouldn't take a bath if your incision is open. Mine was completely closed and no bleeding

@g_lynn yeah idk. I'm a little further.. when I first came home I took warm showers it helped with the pain it was too much to handle

@athomas me neither. I agree

@athomas that's cool mine came the day before

@shanadaniels77 if you feel comfortable doing I say go for it. I still take mine.

@athomas no I'm definitely waiting. Just saying I wanted to take one

@athomas yeah..

@shanadaniels77 awe we got to be mothers the best part of the year. I really don't see why your dr said no

@g_lynn cool

@athomas ikr. And yeah me neither I would assume because it's a risk for infection being your sitting in water with an open would but with it healed and closed I really don't see any issue

@shanadaniels77 I'm still in pain 😣 and on a lot of meds. Can't wait to get better, baths are so relaxing

Wound**

@shanadaniels77 yeah Im with you because mine released me to go swimming and everything

@g_lynn yes I remember going through that.. rest will most def help.. and abHeating pad

Completely closed, I waited until I think the 4/5 week mark.

@steelergrrl43 oh okay, I think I'll be good for now then
