When can you have a bath after giving birth?
I had my baby boy nearly 6 weeks ago now and I did have stitches which are now definitely gone and everything downstairs is feeling relatively normal, am I ok to have a bath now or do I have to wait for my check up which isn't for another 2 weeks.
I got loads of bathy stuff for Christmas and I really fancy one

I had a bath 2 weeks post partum -midwives and health visitors told me it was completely fine to have a bath after birth as long as no products on the bath as can cause infection to your stitches. So you’re okay to have a bath but I’d avoid using like anything like bath bombs until you’ve had your 6 week check to be on the safe side, but I’m sure if you did use anything you’d be okay. I used bubbles bath at 2 weeks & then just gave myself a shower down after the bath around my stitches to make sure no soap or anything was trapped x
