Is it Ohkay to take a bath?

Taylor
I had my daughter two weeks ago, I ripped pretty bad and have stitches. I read somewhere that taking a bath after giving birth isn't a bad thing. Does anyone think it's Ohkay to lay in the tub?

Where I'm from it's recommended to have a bath or sitz bath every day! It's very good for you. With my second I had 3 bad tears and they were healed up in about 1-2 weeks by having daily baths.

I was told a warm bath would help make it feel better

You should keep the area dry until the stitches are gone or your dr tells you it's okay

That is not true, you should soak and clean it at least daily

You can do the sitz bath. That always made mine feel better, but that was in a seat that fits on the toilet not a real bath. Call and check with your ob.
