AF 8 weeks PP, can I use tampons?

[Indadhanu]

Oh thats a smart idea thanks!

I used tampons 4 weeks PP after my last 2 c/s

[Indadhanu]

Does it make a difference if it was c/s or vb? I had a c/s...?

[Shellbelle]

hmm, good question!! I had all v/b, so the thought of sticking something up there so soon wouldn't appeal to me at all!!

[aussienic]

I personally don't think so.. I thought you couldn't use tampons after a Vaginal birth cus of infection cus your cervix was open...

you laboured before your c/s so not sure how it goes in your case.. but 8 weeks PP should be fine..

[Indadhanu]

Yeah I was fully dilated and they were able to get the vaccuum on her head so I had infect risks coming out my ears...
Might just leave it this time, and keep an eye on it.

With Zander, I did the same as Shelle, pads for the first one then tampons after that.

I asked my ob about this when I had bleeding at about 8 weeks pp with DS1. She said tampons were fine. I think it's only for the first 6 weeks that it's a problem.
