hi there,

sorry for TMI, this is a question for my child nurse but unfortunately i'm not seeing her until wednesday....

for how long after the birth should i be jumping into the shower after a poo to wash? It's been 12 days and although I had no stitches after the birth, I developed a skin flap down there that got infected and needed antibiotics for it

is all fine now but i'd rather err on the side of caution and wash for longer than necessary. it's not so much pain relief in my case, it's more to avoid it getting infected again.

any idea when you stopped douching and why post-birth?
