Hello all,
I was trying to revise my response to the question regarding when to start swimming after delivery. Here is my answer: My apologies to Shammy!
Hello there,
You should not go swimming as long as you are bleeding. Once your lochia (bloody discharge after birth) has gone, you should be able to go in the pool. Enjoy the water and don't forget to do those kegels even when you are splashing around with your kids.
In health,
