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 showered like normal a day after I gave birth. I felt so fresh after! I was warded on 16/9, gave birth on 17/9. Only got green light from nurses that I can use the shower on 18/9. I couldn't stand the stickiness and the smell.
