no signs of labour thus far and have been booked for an induction tomorrow. can I use the pool if i go in to labour before? have spoken to two midwives one said yes- if close to the 24 hour mark (and could get into the pool with antibiotics in my hand) and no if closer to the 48. i feel deflated because have now spoken to another midwife who has said hospital policy is no to getting in to the pool 18 hours after waters have broken. this is my fourth and last child and really wanted a water birth has anyone experienced this? is there a logical argument that I can use to get in the pool?
