Shower as per normal! Initially I’m scared also! Actually I’m still scared! I don’t pour/ spray water directly on it. Just above it and let it trickle down the wound. Don’t put waterproof plaster! You gonna have problem when you need to apply the antibiotics cream. You should look at it! I was amazed! It’s this thin fine line that doesn’t look like an incision at all! Honestly I think it looks better than stretch marks. Honestly I’m still so scared that I’m still on full dose of painkillers. I’m already 10 days post delivery. 😂

i will just shower and wash that area with mild soap.. then dap it dry with another towel not the same towel u use for showering. if u can air it.. air it.. as long as the wound is not wet or damp.. each time u are sweating use towel and dap it..

I simply shower as per normal, without touching the wound haha! It’s fine!
