oh dear! the dressing was not done well! thats the reason. I had a bad dressing for my 2nd c section from kkh after day3 when i had my first shower. Immediately when to gp for redressing. The dressing should not have water seeping in. After the dressing im good with shower and wound heal well. Heads up if u ever have any c section going forward.
Once doctor said I can remove the bandage. I just showered as per normal. I was also scared that it might hurt. But it didn’t hurt a single bit. Hahaha just don’t rub too hard around that area if you are scared. After shower, use a separate towel to Pat dry. Do not use the same towel you use to wipe ur body and hair as it might contaminate.
I didn’t apply the waterproof bandage but I never shower during the first month (confinement) Now I’m 6 mth pp, still don’t dare to touch/rub the scar area. It’s not painful though, just psychologically feel safer that way
for mine after i came back from hospital, the next day i showered already.. open up the bandage and clean the wound.. must also clean the area to prevent it from smelling bad..
Just took off my csec dressing after about 10 days and showered normally. doesn't hurt,just be gentle and don't scrub
