A bath post sweep but waters not yet broken?

[1978andallthat]

Have had two sweeps and am 3-4cm dilated but not in labour and waters not broken though have had a show. Is it ok to have a bath (concerned re infection risk). Any answers in next half hour appreciated as I could have a soak while dh makes dinner.

I was 3cm dilated for weeks (3) when pregnant with my son, I only take baths ( have weird show phobia) and was encouraged to have baths while in early labour to help with pains... While I can't say with certainty it's ok I would have a bath and chill out!

Yes, bath is fine if your waters haven't gone - just like its been fine for the last 9 months.
Enjoy your soak.

Thanks. Thought so just wasn't sure post show. Will have one as soon as dd asleep. Can't wait. Bathroom is downstairs and have to do while dh around as worried i'll get stuck as an so overdue or fall asleep.
