Bath after D&C?

D&C yesterday afternoon. Very minimal bleeding today and just light pink. The nurse in the recovery room said it should be fine, but I don't know whether to trust her or not. Think its safe?

I'm so sorry to hear that    

I hope you are ok

I am not sure. 

I am so sorry for your loss.  

I wouldn't because you are still dilated. It's always on my discharge sheet not to take a bath for two weeks. I'm surprised your nurse ok'd it.

Thank you so much. I'm still pretty numb.

I love baths and think a hot one may help the cramping.

I don't really know  

Again I'm so sorry for your loss

That's what I was thinking too. :/

I waited about a week after my d&c for a bath. But for cramping I used a warm wash cloth on my belly.

Maybe just sitting down in the tub and letting the warm shower fall down on you?

That's what I like to do when I don't feel good.

After I gave birth I was told my numerous midwives to have baths rather than showers. I'm sure it would be fine, just don't use any bath salts/bubbles as it could cause infection/irritation.

I was never told not to i delivered my daughter and then went for a D and C for not delivering her placenta. I'm, so sorry for ur loss.

Ellie, i was told not to when i asked about that yesterday. Feel better   <3
