    I was told 2 weeks after just to make sure everything has healed enough. Im not a bath kinda gal but was hanging to relax in one. Unfortunately i got an infection (thanks crappy hospital!) and only now at 8-9 weeks post ceaser am able to jump in the bath.

    If you feel comfortable doing it and your scar is looking good then go for it, like everyone else has said just make sure its super dry afterwards.

    I was told until lochia was finished, nothing to do with the c/section, but to prevent infection becuase while you are still bleeding your cervix may still be slightly open & prone to infection.
