Can a bath speed up contractions???

[Emmamb]

I really should know the answer to this but-I've been gettin a few niggles this afternoon,comin quite regularly (every 12 mins) nothin too painful tho. Wen I got in from school run I couldn't get warm so climbed in the bath,niggles were still comin but have rapidly increased wiv intensity and r comin thick and fast. I don't wanna get out the bath incase they stop lol.

Now I've written this theyl prob stop anyway *jinxed*

I'm not sure Emma.. If it's real labour though it won't stop for anything I suppose.

i thought it couold send it either way, so if they were fake contractions they'd stop but real ones would continue regardless! OOOOO you and Lily could be in a race

Still comin a bit nippy but nothin regular-made the mistake of tellin dh,he's gone for a shower and change (somethin he never does in an evenin) he won't listen wen I tell him that even if it is the start then I always labour slow to start wiv so we won't b goin anywhere tonight! x

 

[lealea85]

Do you think it could be the start?

Butting in from first tri , but I used a bath when I was in labour last time , it wont speed it up but it really takes the edge off the pain just remember if your waters break not to get in
