Hi again.

I hope everyone's doing well out there!

A question: My sister had a caesarian 2 weeks ago and is dying to get into
the bathtub for a soak... Has enough time passed for it to be ok?

Lovey d.

I had a c-section, and I had a long, hot bath as soon as I was out of
the hospital. No one mentioned a restriction to me, and it didn't
seem to do any harm.

Assuming she hasn't got any infections or scar separation, sure. I had a scar
check at 2 weeks and was then cleared for tub baths.
