Can I swim in my pool at home 3 weeks after giving birth? It is chlorinated and well maintained.

I gave birth 3 weeks ago, I wanted to know if I could bathe myself. I had a 3rd degree tear. I still have 1 melting point in the entrance of the vagina.

Good evening ma'am,

No, it is best to wait at least 6 weeks before swimming in such a situation.

Really sorry 😔
