I believe you have to wait till 4 weeks at least to make sure everything’s good with your scar

It would be 6 weeks before you can immerse yourself. I’m still waiting as well- it’s been a month for me. I would still say consult with your doctor to be safe :-)

Are you fully closed and all that. I was told wait the 6 weeks but definitely wait until you’re fully closed

I had an c-section on the 11th had an bath on 17th as long as it’s not hot or anything you’re fine

I was told as soon as my dressing was off I could have a bath

I was told I could have one when the midwives checked my bandage on day 5. They advised I could use a bath to take my bandage off myself. You know where you've been and how dirty you are

My ob said 6 weeks is when I could take a bath or submerged my body in water. I had to wait to get the tape off my incision
