After vaginal tears how long did you wait to get a bath with bubbles or a shower with soap down there. when do stitches heal. i’ve been washing down there with just water but i just want a bubble bath now😩

I did two weeks (I think)
@Chloe did you get them checked before using soap? x
I was having plain water baths 7 days after birth (showers in the meantime) and once I got to the 6 weeks mark I started adding bubbles to my bath x
I used bubbles after a week I think and added loads of salt to the bath to help it heal quicker x
Midwife should be able to check your stitches on either day 5 or day 10 home visit. Maybe start with just a plain bath with some salt and witchazel. My expert midwife also do a spray to help with healing.
I was 4 weeks. All felt fine under there and the midwife had checked it and said it looked good
