How soon after csection can i take a bath ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
3 to 6 weeks: If you have an uncomplicated c-section and your wound is completely healed, usually at three to four weeks, and your OB allows you, then you can take a bath. Remember, bath tub water is not the cleanest. Your behind is in the same water as your wound!
