The Importance of Showering After AC Section

The first question that pops into your head might be why do I need to take a shower right after the C-section? Well, let us tell you it’s very necessary! You must keep your incision wound clean so as to prevent any infection from forming.

Moreover, taking a nice warm bath or sponge bath helps increase circulation which promotes healing in your body.

Understanding Your Incision Wound

Before hopping into the bathtub or turning on those running taps , one thing every mom needs remember is their stitches/investment depending on what procedure was done on them., During showers make sure not to touch these areas directly as they are super delicate at this stage in time. Be careful even while using soap products near these regions- try using mild fragranced natural soaps such as herbal washes rather than scented fancy ones .
