[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an appointment with my OB tomorrow and will definitely ask, but was curious if anybody knew anything about swimming after childbirth. I am pregnant with my third, due this summer, and was talking to a friend who told me that you need to wait 6 weeks to swim in a pool after you have a C-Section due to risk of infection. I have never had a summer baby, but was hoping to go to the pool and beach within the first 6 weeks. Is this true?[/quote] When would you realistically want to start... 2 weeks post? 3 weeks? You'll likely still be dealing with lochia (ew, I wouldn't want to be in a public pool with that) and your scar may not be fully closed. Might as well wait until 6. [/quote]
