I had a bath about 4 days post as I was so itchy and it’s good to get a good clean Plain water with no products used, only 5-10 mins and I made sure I dried off properly after I now am 3 weeks post partum and I have long baths but still no products x
i had a really hot bath 2 days pp with a second degree x
Straight away.. I put table salt in mine to aid healing and also used the hair dryer on cool instead of having to physically dry the area

I had a bath the same day I gave birth (also second degree tear). The midwife told my husband to run me one whilst our newborn slept. Maybe not mega hot but 100% don’t add anything to it. No soaps or shower gels or bubble bath. It’s a really nice gentle way to make sure you’re clean down there too.
