Swimming, bathing, etc.

What was your doctors recommendation/ order on when you can bathe, swim, exercise, etc. postpartum?

I didn’t tear this time around but I did have to get a D&C;, I’ve healed pretty well though! Little to no bleeding at the moment, feeling okay most of the time, I already bathed but apparently my doctor recommends no swimming or bathing until bleeding has stopped and no exercise until 6 week check up (I already bathed because a nurse in the hospital told me I should and to use lavender Epsom salt!- my hospital didn’t do a very good job informing me on how to care for myself after discharge this time around)

I have a toddler too so exercising kind of happens accidentally by me having to chase him down and pick him up sometimes! And I’d love to go swimming with him since it’s so hot here at the moment!
