Did anyone's doctor advise them not to take a bath for a few weeks after birth? I had a vaginal birth with no tearing and just a stitch for what my doctor called a "laceration," but he told me no baths for 6 weeks. I'm in Ukraine and they are super conservative on a lot of things, so I'm wondering if this advice is normal or another crazy Ukrainian superstition. My back and neck are so achy for constantly BFing that I can't stop thinking about how good it would feel to soak in some nice warm water.
