I had a bath immediately after birth and several times since! Wonder why you were told no???
I miss bath time. :(
I love taking baths and 99% of the time bathe instead of taking a shower. My doc told me no baths until my 6 week checkup and I have to say, this is harder than nine months without sushi or wine. :( Does that make me crazy? Womp womp.

I was told no baths for 6 weeks also. I was told ALOT of things not till 6 weeks but sorry.... I'm a SAHM of a 4yo who goes to school every day, I also care for my mom who lives with us & if I don't do it, it doesn't get done... I avoided the stairs & walking long distances for 3 weeks, I didn't drive for a week... I waited 2 weeks to take a bath. I have to do the food shopping or we would starve... I came home from the hospital & threw in a load of laundry. I just pay attention to my body.
Why did he say no baths? Mine encouraged it to soak my stitches.

Yikes. At three weeks today I feel fine, guess I've lucked out!

It's a huge risk of infection. I heard a study recently that said when bath tubs and toilets were swabbed for bacteria, tubs came out to be dirtier! Yuck!! There's also a chance your cervix isn't closed yet until 6 week though most women close at 2-3 weeks.
