just wondering.. what do you ladies think about a quick shower after my water has broken before going hospital. my…

No problem hun, good luck xx

sounds to me that if I can I will shower :) thanks girls @winterbaby95 @nadsx316 @mummywarwick @jem29 @deelouise222 xx

When my waters broke. I had 3/4 showers and a bath before I went to the hospital...this was before my contractions were regular and then after they got regular. I also shaved :) x

my waters leaked over about 3 hours, and once you're contracting you really don't care about anything lol sweat was dripping off me and blood and mess everywhere and all I could think of was the pain. however if you feel up to it I can't see it being a bad thing at all :D should help speed up the labour too x

It happened with my first and your allowed a bath or shower but your not allowed to use any shower gel or bubble bath or shampoo and conditioner etc.... it's better to have a bath cos it helps relax you and helps to take a tiny bit of the pain away if your contracting x

for some that I know they didn't stay in for long it was mostly just to wash and they didn't put in any bubble baths or products etc xx

Yh they say that...but when your waters go and you get in the birthing pool it's the same principle...I think each to their own I know some that have gotten in the bath and others have showered, I know that in each case the mothers and babies were both fine but yh a shower will defo be ok, I'd defo clean up just so I felt better in myself xx

You can have a bath bab, just warm not hot. If you give birth in a bath they don't like you staying in too long after baby because there is risk of infection. Whichever you prefer, I'd quite like to do a sanctuary salt scrub before I go into hospital. Can't bear the thought of not being clean before I go in! xXx

@mummywarwick, @nadsx316 I have been told you are not suppose to have a bath as that could cause infections.. so I was wondering if a shower would be ok. I got mixed stories. I would like to be fresh even if it would last like 5min haha xx

I've read it's a good thing to do to help you relax and nice to go to hospital fresh as a daisy! Treat yourself to a fancy shower gel too, add to the calmness xXx

Yes I would if mine went at home, I just prefer to feel fresh...plus you might find it relaxing, I freelance as a doula for my friends and the last one I helped she wanted to have a bath after her waters went, she did and by the time I got there she was out so I helped her get ready and then we went to the hospital xx
