A member asked:
How soon can i take a hot bath or jacuzzi after giving birth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: 4 weeks minimum for the womb to close and as long as it takes for any incision or stitches to be closed. Jacuzzi or hot tubes frequently carry a lot of bacteria and the maintenance can not be assured.
