This might be a silly question i know u can have a bath if u go into labour but can u have one after ur waters break? i dont know why i just thought i heard somewhere that you cant xxx

i'd have thoguht so - after all people sometimes give birth in water dont they?

thats what i thought lol

I think as long as you go into hospital it's ok. Because you're meant to go in when your waters break aren't you?

Like tinytoes said, people have waterbirths so I don't see why it would be too much of a problem.

xxx

you can, people who's waters break but aren't dilating are usually sent home from the hospital and told to have a warm bath. or so i'm told

I think if mine break first il ring the hospital first anyway but thought as they said to me its best to stay at home as long as you can it would be nice to have a bath, its so confusing lol xxx

Sometimes when women's water break it can be hours and hours before they go into labour,so I'm sure a bath is okay. I will defnitely have one. A bath always makes me feel better!You should probably just skip the bubble bath and dont make the water too hot. That's my problem usually....I love HOT water!

My waters broke first and I had a bath so it's fine. I was 2cms dilated and the midwife said to have bath to help ease the pain. An hour later and I was 9.5cms dilated! It worked a treat for me and hardly had any pain while in the bath, just when I got out x

Wow Jem thats excellent.. The bath is like heaven for me these days.. Its the ONLY place I feel comfy now..

Go for it!! The bath and shower is the first place I go now if I have back ache anyway.
