Bath

Hey girls! I’m desperate for a bath. I gave birth almost 3 weeks ago and had an episiotomy & I am desperate for a birth. I’m not in any pain anymore down there, and just wondered when I’d be able to have a bath? Thanks

I was told no baths but I took one at 4 weeks pp. it was amazing. I was scared to do it sooner though but I figured by 4 weeks I’d be mostly healed.

I had a bath at around three weeks, it’s perfectly safe, just don’t have any harsh soaps etc but adding some Epsom salts to the water will help with healing! x

I was told I could have a bath and just not to add anything to it ☺️

The midwife told me you can have a bath straight away but just don’t use bubbles or anything like that! I had normal baths and salt baths a week after birth (I had a vaginal birth with an episiotomy too) and found that it really helped me!xx
