Do you mummies shower in the hospital after labour/birth?

Confinement practices say that mummies should shower with water boiled with herbs. That would be possible after I reach home and my confinement nanny will help me with it. However what is the normal practice in the hospital? After the labour, how do you mummies bathe? Use soap? Or bring herbal water to bathe? Or never bathe?

I soaped myself and wet the towels to wipe away the soap. Immediately dry urself after you are done. I didn’t wash my hair though since hospital did not provide hair dryer. Couldn’t stand the stench on myself since I was sweating all over + leaking milk 🤣 I was in the hospital for 4 days 3 nights but only “showered” once throughout the whole stay.
