Re: Shower after birth ?
C sections - First was not scheduled. Had him around midnight showered by probably 10 AM I was begging them to remove all of those tubes and let me move around.
Second was scheduled, had him around 9 AM, showered by .... No, I think they tortured me and made me wait until the next morning. I was miserable !! - I made them remove the catheter (spelling?) that evening, so I could pee myself, but I had to wait until the next day to remove everything else and shower.

Re: Shower after birth ?
Had a v-birth. My son was born at 12.47am and I was in the shower by 3am. I couldn't wait to rinse off and feel fresh!!! ETA, no epi so didn't have to wait for it to wear off or anything.

Re: Shower after birth ?
I had a vag delivery and basically once they finally unhooked me from the IV, I showered. I was sore as hell and it was super hard to shower but def doable. I delivered at SB and there was a chair in the shower to sit on which helped bc I couldn't stand for very long.

Re: Shower after birth ?
with DD I had a vaginal birth and was able to shower after my IV was out the following morning (I was on antibiotics)
With DS I had a c/s and also showered the following morning. I had a rough afternoon/evening after my section coming off the anesthesia, and I had to wait until the catheter was out which they removed the following morning. I was determined to shower before DD came up to visit, I didn't want her to see me looking the way I did.

Shower after birth ?
LOL about 4 days later. i was drugged up on morphine and magnesium on day 1 and 2 and couldnt get out of bed. on day 3 i got a sponge bath and they let me out of bed to go to the NICU. by day 4 i was able to shower myself. i had a really traumatic birth and c-section though so obviously this isnt the norm!!

Re: Shower after birth ?
V-birth 3 times. Same thing, all 3 early AM deliveries, showered by late afternoon/early evening. even though my crotch was on FIRE, it felt so good to get clean, it helped me relax.
