I had dissolvable stitches as I teared front to back and I showered everyday after, used peribottle and had a bath about 10 days after as I had a bath with my newborn for first time x

I had a bath 24 hrs after I got home 🤣

You can have a bath, just don’t make it too hot. Try getting some of those expert midwife bath salts, once had a bath let yourself air dry down there.

Thank you ladies xxx

I had a 2nd degree tear and they wouldn't let me home until I'd had a bath at the hospital after staying in for 3days. 2hrs after labour they had me shower too
