Bathing after cesarean section is recommended by many doctors because it gives the mother a lot of benefits from physical to mental, such as:
Helps mother feel clean, contributes to recovery spirit and energy to take care of the child. Warm water in the shower can stimulate blood circulation in the mother's body. Can relieve stress, relieve pain and discomfort. Normally, the body tends to become tired and achy due to trauma during pregnancy. Bathing can help relax these sensations. Bathing will also clean the wound and limit the risk of wound infection from the outside. The body needs to be cleaned, especially the 2 breasts because the baby needs to be breastfed in the first time after birth. Relieves postpartum chest pain in women.
You may remove your wound dressing and take showers if stitches, staples, or glue were used to close your skin. Do not soak in a bathtub or hot tub, or go swimming, until your provider tells you it is OK. In most cases, this is not until 3 weeks after surgery.
