How long after

Having a c-section can you take a bath?

Well it hurt to get up and down for me so I didn't take one for a while.

It just depends on how YOU are healing, your doctor would have to be the judge. My doctor okay'd it for me at my first check-up around 2-3 weeks PP, but I only took showers for a while because I never had the time to just sit in the bath and relax.  

I shall ask my doctor at my check up appointment wednesday then 
I am only 10 days PP but I feel great !

ummm i had one 3 days after i had my c section! There are only about 4 showers in the maternity ward in my local hospital and they were always in use with queues waiting outside. So i took a bath and the nurses knew and said nothing to me. It was so hard getting in and getting out even though there were rails but i managed it and i had a waterproof cover over my incision so didnt need to worry about it getting wet.

I don't think I've taken a bath since before I had Heathen, and she'll be 4 tomorrow.
My ass got too big to fit in the tub 

I took a shower same day. i took bath after they took out the staples on day 5.

I had that too and was told 7 days. The hospital staff told me after 7 days your skin is healed up but your insides are still healing
