Just wondering

[prettygirl87]

I just had a DnC almost 3 weeks ago and they gave me the do's and dont's list which included not baths for 4-6 weeks just showers but I want to go to the beach tomorrow and get in the water do you guys think it will be safe for me or am I still risking an infection if I get in the water

[prettygirl87]

Thanks ladies but I am very sure that's what they said the nurse read it to me and gave me a copy but I decided to not go and just wait a bit how long did your doctors tell you to wait to ttc again

I had a dnc May 21 and my doctor said one week also.

I was told to wait 2 weeks before bathing or intercourse.  I've not heard of anyone being told to wait 4 - 6 weeks.  I know that unprotected intercourse they usually advise to wait until after you've had your first period so perhaps that's what they meant??

Weird. My doc gave me the clear for swimming and sex after just one week! I would think your cervix was closed by now. I have resumed normal actives by 3 weeks after giving birth.

I think you will be risking an infection esp in ocean water.  I would say it's better to be safe than sorry in this case.
