I took a bath 3 days pp but I didn't have a c-section so I'm not sure what the rule is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-i-have-to-wait-to-take-a-bath#post-793251 Sat, 18 May 2013 18:32:59 +0000 MrsHotDog 793251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am dying to take a steaming hot bath but I forgot to ask at my two week check up if I was all cleared to soak in the tub. What did your doctor say? I am willing to risk it tonight since my back is killing me. I am almost four weeks pp. Thanks! </p>
