Stitches

if you have stitches after giving birth, is it ok to swim in a private pool?

It's almost been 2 weeks since my son was born. I did get stitches. However, I am recovering quickly. For the past 3 days I have felt good and it no longer burns when I pee. I have my own pool and was just wondering if it was safe to go ahead and swim, even though I have the stitches still.

1. u should definitely ask ya doctor.... but don't u supposed to wait X amount weeks b4 u can get nto a tub (pool)
2. I recommend to wait it out until the stitches are out, but if in case you really wanted to take a swim, it's fine. -but no hot tubs, and do not stay too long.
