I would definitely wait. Basically you have a wound in your uterus and you want to avoid anything that could increase the liklihood of infection. For this reason, I would probably avoid tub baths as well and swimming, etc, sticking instead to showers. No tampons, pads only, nothing in the vagina. >
>How about exercise?

Well, I wouldnt go mountain climbing...but other than that I would say it depends on how well you feel.

Hope you are doing better today.
