I have just posted about a waterbirth so this is linked. I would like to get into the bath at home for the early part of my labour. I have heard conflicting stories about it slowing or speeding the labour. This is my second baby but I didnt go in the water last time. Any experiences?
Also, if your waters break first is it OK to get into the water? I assume it is but my waters went first with DD1 followed by contractions a few hours later.
