Bathing with stitches
I know it’s recommended not to bath with stitches but has anyone else had a cool quick bath and it been ok?
I have been using my peri bottle but I feel like I need a quick 10 min cool bath as I had D&V vomiting last night, so alongside the bleeding I just want to feel clean and the peri bottle isn’t cutting it 😂

@Samantha ah that’s good! Mines for a grade 2 tear so I think my stitches are more in the water when I bath
Yeah maybe ring your health visitor and see if she can advise you on if you can have a bath or not
I had baths all the time put some lavender oil in it aswell really helps with the healing and soothing.
@Jodie that’s good to know! And your stitches were ok? They scared me that bathing can dissolve them and leave you with a “gaping hole”! I’m stitched in 3 places they say!
Yeah absolutely fine did it eith my 2 daughters and will do after this birth. obviously not red hot bath but relaxing for 5-10 mins will be fine. Well it was for me and it was my midwife thay suggested it. X

I got told I could still have a bath I just can’t have a long soak in it I think a 10 minute bath would be okay but mines a C-section not sure if yours is the same
