Postpartum bath?

Question

I’m about two weeks post partum - had 2nd degree tear and stitches 🧵 that are healing well. I know I can do a sitz bath but is it safe to take a regular bath with no bubbles or soap?

Answer

I honestly was told not to take one until 3 weeks pp but I needed one so bad I took one exactly 2 weeks pp

Answer

Yep you can. If at all possible lay naked after to let your stitches dry out.

Answer

I had a stitch too and my dr said wait one week and then you can take a bath all you want.

Answer

I was told I could right away (also second degree tear). The nurses also recommended I use Epsom salts to help with healing.

Answer

My midwife ordered me to take on when I got home with a cup of Dreft. I didn’t but yes you can take one!
