Bath ?after vaginal birth

Question

I got 2 stitches and forgot to ask the dr am I allowed to bath. ?

Answer

I’ve had 5 babies and have always been told when leaving the hospital NOT to take a bath for 10 days. That’s with tearing and not tearing (I tore for 4 out of 5 of my births). They don’t like you to bathe while the cervix is still so open. It can cause infection.

Answer

My dr told me to take 3 baths a day after my vaginal birth. I had stitches too.

Answer

I was told by my doctor to have a bath with salt as it helps the scar to heel faster

Answer

Mine recommended no baths except a sitz bath for my stitches.

Answer

I took an herbal bath with my baby within an hour of giving birth. I did have a slight tear that required 1 stitch. The point of the bath was not to get clean, but to relax and get the herbs to help with healing. 
There have been a variety of answers to your question, though, so if I were you, I'd call the doctor and see what they want you to do.
