How soon after giving birth and getting stitches can i get in a hot tub i gave birth on october 4th 2015?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would give it at: least 10-14 days before immersion in water. Showers would be okay. Your vaginal wall and cervix are healing from the trauma of delivery, and would not do well with immersion that could introduce bacteria into your vulnerable uterus. Please take precautions and shower until you have recovered completely. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.
