had op yesterday ! will be okay to have a shallow bath later? help please :)

?? xx

Yes hun as long as it’s a shallow one and you have help getting in and out so no force is used on your arms! My Mum used a face wipe on my back and I used one on my boobs staying well away from incisions and dressings! You will feel a lot better after it xx

I would wait till atleast day 3-4 as although u might feel ok it takes a lot of effort to get in and out of the bath even with help, ideally u should be resting for the first few days, u need to remember u have had a major operation and need to give ur body time to heal xx

Babbylou a bath makes you actually feel better, I didn’t use any strength getting in or out and as long as you kneel it’s fine you won’t be able to sit down as you won’t get back up! Plenty of rest is advised but a bath relaxes your body! I got one day 2 and a few others have on here too!xx

I was advised by the nurse to wait till atleast day 3 or 4, as although u may feel ok inside ur body is doing a lot I healing, I got on on day 3 but the nurse said day 2 is to early plus I didnt feel up to it say 2 either lol xx

Suppose everyone is different, I really felt up to it I had no pain what so ever through my whole recovery it was in the night on day 2 plus I did have my op 9.10 the day before! My twins are 3 wks old 2day yayy xx

ohh I can’t wait I’ll mine r that far lol, I’m on day 4 now, last few days been pretty bad but today I can just feel te soreness of the insisions, I had unders aswell, I’m normally quiet good with pain so surprised how bad its been, not unbareable but just really uncomfortable lol xx

Ano should get better for you now hun, am not saying I couldn’t feel anything but I could cope Like yourself I have a high pain threshold! It’s more annoying the things you can’t do and how much ye rely on certain muscles!xx

Silly question but if you can’t have a bath or a shower for a few days, how do you get properly clean?? I love my baths, dreading that bit xx

thankyou ladies,, i just feel as if i need a bath to feel human again lol! i just painted my nails im feeling abit more meee paahaha ! i rang mya to check if it was okay they said yes alsong as the bath is shallow and that i have some one with me and also if i feel upto it, which i do, no pain only a little tight when i move, ayayaya xxx

ano little things like getting out of bed, luckly I’m on a recliner Estée at the and of my bed then prop my feet under the bed to help me up, I dunno what I would of some without my reclier lol, my insisions r really burning now! owch! lol, I just want them to be healed so I can wear nice underwear etc and my bf desperate to have a play lol, he’s been soo good for me bless him I feel like I owe it to him haha xx

i went for a bath the mornin after the op and this mornin and i had no help atall and i am absolutly fine no pain atall! xx

Yeah Sarah me too hun Day 2 after my bath I painted my toe nails! If you feel up to it then have one you will mies better it will relax your body :-)xx

And yes Gemma me too Day 3 I got in and out of mine myself with extra care! I knew I was fine as by day 5 I was driving again!xx

i painted my toes just there aswell lol! had my op tuesday night im in like no pain! im dyin to go a walk!! xx

If you feel like going for a little walk you can just don’t over do it! And have someone with you, a lot of people of here will disagree but if you feel up to it then it will make you feel happier a little exercise is good I was told! Am not saying walk for ages but maybe 10 minutes is good xx

I went for a little walk on the field out my back, the fresh air was good, but I got out of breath real easily and had to walk extremely slow lol xx
