Is it save to continue to take baths once you are dilated?

I was 1 cm dilated on Tuesday. I love to bath every night.

I was just thinking, since there is now a hole in there...could this cause infection?

I have no idea if my mucos plus is still in there or not since I have had brown stringy discharge this week.

As long as your waters are intact its still a closed enviroment.

at my pre-natal classes they spoke about being in the tub during the contractions at the hospital (during labour). So I don't see why you could take a bath.

I asked my mw this and yyeh is fine until your waters go

When i was in labour after my waters had broken i was told to take a bath by midwife to ease pain which i was suprised by as i thought it was a no no. You are fine before waters have gone though x

Definately ok. However, if you are prone to yeast:thrush, you may want to hold off on the bubble bath solutions. They don't bother some, though
