If you just had a baby 3 wks ago can you go swimming?!


Question:

If you just had a baby 3 wks ago can you go swimming?

Can you wear a tampon? if the bleeding is light can you wear a pad?


Answers:

I'd check with your doc.

My first assumption would be no because your uterus is still in the process of closing. Your uterus is a sterile environment and you wouldn't want anything (like water) to carry any bacteria up there. Bacteria =infection, and that's not a good time.

I might hold off until you get an all-clear from your doc.

Have fun and enjoy your new baby! Congratulations!
