[AmesHk]

When can you have a bath after csection? It's been 2&1/2 weeks, healed well no infections etc? Thanks

I cant remember them telling me not to have a bath ! I think it would b good 4 and i would put a bit of antiseptic in it , years ago after having a baby salt baths were recommended but not now . im not a bath person personally so wouldn't have missed it if I was told I couldn't have 1 .

My midwife advised me to wait until the stitches and dressing had come off. I've been having baths ever since using bath foam and, so far, there haven't been any negative side effects. The stitches came out last Tuesday. I've been lucky that the scar has been healing well. If you're worried check with your midwife or health visitor but like Babymother said, unless you've been told not to, I would imagine you should be fine. You could always try a bath without any bath foam if you were worried.
