Bathing at 6 weeks post op

Just thought I’d check before I wallow much longer!.. when we’ve had the all clear to bathe at 6 weeks, it’s fully okay to soak in the tub? Just seems odd now after being so cautious not to get the incisions wet! Also at 6WPO how long do you leave your bra off to bathe for? Is half an hour too long?
Thank you! Xx

Hi,

I had a problem with my incision and I was pretty much perfect to shower and bath and stuff at 6 weeks and also I’m quite bad and don’t really wear a bra much during when I’m out and stuff but I just wear it to bed or lounging around the house. I’ve started to now I have some proper bras and I’m about 8/9 weeks and my boobs don’t really hurt much but everyone is different. Probably check with the nurse or something but I just do what I feel like is okay for my body and stuff.
I probably should wear a bra more but haven’t had any problems with not wearing one on a nightoit or during the day x
