Anyone know how long you have to wait before getting into a swimming pool after a c-section? Not necessarily to swim laps, etc., but to lay out on a float?

You have to wait until your bleeding stops, because you can't use tampons right after the c-section. People bleed for different amounts of time...mine was about six weeks.

Thank you--that makes sense!!
