With my son I couldn't walk or move for crap for weeks and pain for a year. I had numbness in my legs and back. They used staples, put my spinal up in my shoulders.
With this one my spinal was lower back, they used glue instead of staples, they did 3 surgeries in one, I can move around but it hurts.
Id love to take a bath and soak my muscles, but idk if I can with the glue. Showers feel good but not enough O.o
Maybe try a heating pad or a sitz bath (just a little water enough in the tub, not enough to tough the incision)
I think your OBGYN or his nurse is the one to ask for this one. I had an emergency c section with my twins and I asked my Doc if he hunted because I felt like I had been gutted like a deer. It made him lol
I would not bathe yet. I know they told me not to soak or swim for an extended time (I've had 5 c-sections) but can't for the life of me remember exactly how long it was...I'm thinking it was around a month for baths!? I'd call the Dr and see to be sure. You don't want to get an infection in there :(
I had stitches with my cesarean (I asked for them instead of staples) and I took a shower a few days later. I didn't take a bath until the incision had healed for awhile. I wasn't uncomfortable after the cesarean though, and didn't take any of the pain meds after they weaned me off of the stuff in the iv so I was okay with the showers.
