Bath postpartum?
I’m currently almost 4 weeks postpartum and I’m dying to take a bath! I used to take one every day. I’m wondering if I’m supposed to wait until 6 weeks or can I bathe before then? I obviously would not use any bubble bath or bath bombs, just plain water and I’d wash my hair and body in the shower prior.

I had a bath straight away but just water and not too hot I had forceps too it soothed the area
I had a bath with Epson salt and it helped a lot.. water not too hot
Unless advised otherwise by your doc a bath is safe their is even some special epsom salt for recovery post partum
Yesss at like 3 weeks pp my doula made me a herbal sitz bath and it was everything I didn’t know I needed 😩 if you want to play it safe don’t add anything to the water but a bath is definitely ok!
