I was exhausted and didn't want to but the nurse I had insisted I take one. I'm so glad she did. I felt so much better afterward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-shower-at-the-hospitalbirthing-center/page/2#post-697018 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 01:42:36 +0000 MsMini 697018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I showered every day, once during induction (at about 10 pm), then my emergency c-section was at midnight and the next morning I was up and showered (plus hair blow dried and make-up done) by noon. I showered every day first thing in the morning, I always felt much better afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-shower-at-the-hospitalbirthing-center/page/2#post-697017 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 01:38:53 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 697017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i showered both days i was in the hospital... it felt amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-shower-at-the-hospitalbirthing-center/page/2#post-697013 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 01:01:15 +0000 Raindrop 697013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope did not shower there, I waited till I got home to shower. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-shower-at-the-hospitalbirthing-center/page/2#post-697011 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 00:34:46 +0000 keiki_mama 697011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is going to sound so gross but I only showered once during my stay. I checked in on Friday, had my baby on Sunday morning, and showered/was discharged on Thursday. So gross but that shower was fantastic! I felt like a new woman. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-shower-at-the-hospitalbirthing-center/page/2#post-696992 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 23:05:44 +0000 littlebug 696992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh, no. I delivered at 11:45pm on Thursday. Didn't shower till....Sunday?? Maybe? Gross. Whatevs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-shower-at-the-hospitalbirthing-center/page/2#post-696964 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 22:32:01 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 696964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck yes! I took probably four in 48 hs. I needed them something awful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-shower-at-the-hospitalbirthing-center/page/2#post-696954 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 22:23:17 +0000 twoofeverything 696954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For sure. It's the first thing that made me feel human again. They were born at 10am via c-section, and I showered the next morning around 8am.<br /> Then I got to put on their fancy hospital undies and maxi pads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-shower-at-the-hospitalbirthing-center/page/2#post-696936 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 22:11:30 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 696936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! I had him at 8pm and showered by 2am-ish? by the time he went to sleep and they removed my IVs.<br /> Then I slept until about 9am, and showered again, this time actual washing my hair and shaving.<br /> The following morning was discharge morning and I showered while LO was sent down for circumcision.<br /> So, 3 showers and they were heavenly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-shower-at-the-hospitalbirthing-center/page/2#post-696926 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 22:05:12 +0000 littlek 696926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I spent all my free time in the NICU with my son. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-shower-at-the-hospitalbirthing-center/page/2#post-696923 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 22:00:36 +0000 ladyfingers 696923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was there 2 nights and showered twice. That first shower was so glorious but wasn't until the second day! I had DS in the morning so I'd gone all day and night after being in labor and giving birth without showering... I have no idea how because that is so not me but omg did it feel amazing to be clean again and not in a hospital gown. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-shower-at-the-hospitalbirthing-center/page/2#post-696883 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 21:30:48 +0000 pinkcupcake 696883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I was there Sunday night through Tuesday morning.

I took my first shower after doing skin to skin/first breastfeed - was super refreshing after writhing in pain for hours. Then in 4 days I stayed in hospital I think I showered another 2-3 times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-shower-at-the-hospitalbirthing-center/page/2#post-696779 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 20:23:17 +0000 bunnylove08 696779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to I was in the hospital for a week </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-shower-at-the-hospitalbirthing-center/page/2#post-696763 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 20:04:38 +0000 hilsy85 696763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: ditto!

I was so excited to shower. I delivered at 9:30 at night, and begged for a shower first thing in the morning. It was tough and painful but I felt sooo much better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-shower-at-the-hospitalbirthing-center/page/2#post-696369 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 14:08:40 +0000 rawrasaur 696369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did, but only because everyone told me I should. I really would have rather waiting until getting home, it wasn't worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-shower-at-the-hospitalbirthing-center/page/2#post-696364 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 14:03:53 +0000 Mrs. Blue 696364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was there Monday-Thursday, and I definitely showered! It felt sooo nice. I think they had me wait a day or two after my c-section, but I can't remember for sure. It's all a blur! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-shower-at-the-hospitalbirthing-center#post-696330 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 13:34:22 +0000 bushelandapeck 696330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebittyhouse: I did the same :) I don't feel like me without least at little makeup on. </p> <p>I showered the day he was born, and every day until we left. I haven't missed a shower since he was born! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-shower-at-the-hospitalbirthing-center#post-696295 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 13:07:23 +0000 MrsRcCar 696295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I showered because I couldn't handle feeling all gross. My DH was surprised that I lasted until Saturday afternoon. ( I had N on late Friday night. ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-shower-at-the-hospitalbirthing-center#post-696285 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 12:57:55 +0000 edelweiss 696285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no--i was there about 48 hours, and the shower in my hospital room looked kind of gross. </p>
