So here I go with a stupid question
So I’ve had 3 c sections soon I’ll have my 4th and last one
My question is
Has any momma that’s had a c section been able to shower while at the hospital?
Reason I’m asking is because every time I’ve been at the hospital I’ve ask if I can shower the nurses or doctors give me an excuse
So I want to make sure this time around I’ll be ready for them not letting me shower
@xibkhadiia, don’t get me wrong
My nurses were amazing and helpful but they would just tell me that doctor said I was ready to shower
I was encouraged to shower once i was able to move around and walk
I showered the next day after my OB reminded the dressing.
@craftaddictionmomof2, @tipsymermaid, @michellemybell09, @crharmer, @2sweetie, @parkers_mommy, @mommyof.1, @caffeinated.chaos, so it’s ok to shower then
My nurses and doctors would tell me no your not ready to shower
I was already walking around going to the restroom feeding my little one changing them
So I don’t understand why they wouldn’t let me shower
They would tell me to just wait till I got home
Can anyone imagine how uncomfortable it was to feel extremely dirty
It’s definitely okay to shower. Once the catheter comes out, if you’re feeling up to it you can shower. The nurses offered to help me if I needed help in the shower. I’d tell them you are going to shower, they shouldn’t be allowed to deny you that.
@tipsymermaid, I don’t understand why they wouldn’t let me
I have had 4 csections, and have showered the day after surgery with all of them. As soon as that catheter came out, I was in the shower. I would just make it very clear to them, that you will be showering.
Nurses never told me to shower. I dont think it was a requirement for discharge 🤷
I never had a csection but my sister did. She was told a requirement for her discharge was to be able to stand and shower
Yes the nurses actually required me to take a shower. At two different hospitals. With my first, I was in so much pain that I couldn’t get up to shower for 2 days. My second was much easier and I showered the next day.
Where do you live? I was always encouraged to shower a day or two after. I'm in Ontario and I've typically stayed 4 days and 3 nights.
I’ve had 2 and I’ve showered in the hospital both times, 12 hours after surgery. The nurses encouraged me to.
They let me shower day 2. I had to stay in there 3 days
I’m scheduled for a c section Thursday and I’m a bit nervous.
Have any of you had a c section? If so what was your experience?
Have y’all ladies heard of VBAC? I’ve been doing my research and my doctor had said I would be able to deliver my baby vaginally since I had my 1st vaginally and my son with an emergency c section. Has anyone had one and succeeded?
I had to get an emergency c section they are so painful and who else had to get a c section omg mY whole body is itching
C-section
So tomorrow I go in for my c-section I was hoping he would make an appearance beforehand so I could get the labour i wanted, but obviously I’ve made such a lovely home for him. Any tips on recovery would be much appreciated please? Xx
@xibkhadiia, @cfjones913, @g_lynn, I don’t seem to understand why they wouldn’t let me shower
