I was wondering how long do I/or should I wait until I get into a hottub??? I had my C-Section on October 15th so I'm a little over 5 weeks PP. Is it safe to get in the hottub by turkey day?

Have you had your Dr. visit yet? They're usually at 6 weeks. If you're no longer bleeding and your scar healed you're probably fine, but you might want to check at your Dr. visit. I cheated and jumped in the pool around 4-5 wks. I didn't get reprimanded, but at the time I wondered whether I made the right call. I was fine, though.
Wait til your 6week visit and all clear...I have a hottub in the backyard of our house (which we bought when I was 10 weeks pregnant) so I know how hard it is to wait as I had to wait all pregnancy and thene the 6 mandatory weeks but saw the hottub every stinking night...but better safe than sorry!
Re: Hot Tub after C-Section?
No.
Just no.
Between the time you give birth via c-section and the time you get the all clear from your doctor, you should not:
