A member asked:
Can i swim after a c-section? its been 2 and a half weeks after the operation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
4 to 6 weeks: Many Ob-Gyn doctors recommend waiting 4-6 weeks to allow proper healing of a C-section incision before going swimming. If a woman "must" go swimming sooner, she should realize that at 2-3 weeks, her wound may look healed but may not be able to withstand repeated stretching or being scraped up along a pool's edge.
