Post partum swimming???

Question

I asked this question before and got little answers. When is it safe to go into your own swimming pool? I'm 5 weeks post partum and have stopped bleeding. In your experiences when did you go swimming post partum, and did you get an infection?

Answer 1

If you've stopped bleeding I would think it would be safe for you to go. I think I went about that time with my first child. Course I always stop at like 2 weeks and then I do whatever I want to do.

Answer 2

they usually recommend 6 wks thats when your post doctors visit is and he or she will give you the ok at that time.

Answer 3

If you aren't bleeding and didn't have stitches it should be fine to swim. If unsure ask doc at 6week check up.

Answer 4

If you had to be stitched, I think you should wait until after your checkup to make sure it is ok.  Otherwise, I can't think of a reason it would be an issue.

Answer 5

congratulations on your baby however I would weight until my six weeks check up before I would get into the pool you may get some kind of infection and believe my they are no fun good luck with everything
