I hope my waters don't break...

[Jade89]

...to start with...I want a shower or a bath before I go into hospital and your not allowed a bath or shower after your waters break are you?

You are but you can't use any soaps or anything

 

[Jade89]

So i could still have a shower then? I reckon a shower would be better.

Just as long as I feel clean when I go into hospital, I don't want to feel manky (even though I probably will after), i'd feel much more comfortable if I were clean...I don't know, I could go into labour after having a bath or shower but if I havn't had one that day i'd like one.

I think they just dont let you wash your foo hun. A shower should be fine

 

[Minxy]

This is a bit of an old-fashioned idea, I was told it's fine to have a bath or shower. Don't people give birth in baths??

you can take a shower. it won't hurt

 

[Princess_Puddles]

Yeah i think its just the case of not washing your 'Foo' (as Violet-glow says) with any kind of soaps, I'm sure everywhere else on your body is fine esp if you will be having a shower as you wont be laying in your dirt and grime

 

[Jade89]

Oh in that case they can break when they like lol...

Will it still be okay to shave even if it's just my bikini line or something?

I know I wont give a crap at the time but it's these little things that r worrying me now lol.

I am planning on keeping that area well and truly trimmed!! Hubby has said that he will do it for me when I can't reach!!! I see it as bing more hygeinic... also, If you have an emergency section they dry shave you if you are "bushy" So I would rather take care of that myself!!!!!

I use a mirror and just sit on the floor to trim and it works well hunny

OUCH! i am not letting OH near my bits lol... i keep it trimmed down it's not bushy but my bikini line needs doing, don't wanna do it now incase i go 2 weeks over or something and it would be really hard to shave then because my hair has been growing back really slow and it would be short bristles whicj i hate shaving

when my waters broke the hospital told me to have a bath as it should get labour started. and the lady filled the bath for me will bubble bath

then i got out and 2 hrs later got back in as i hadnt started having contractions. then when i got out 2nd time contractions started.

i felt nice and fresh in labour with Dior so i felt nice and fresh but with Harley it all happened so fast i didnt have a bath and felt minging

 

[littlebump]

I went in after waters had broken and they said a bath would be a good idea for pain relief.

I also understand that it's not advisable to have a bath until you're in established labour & have been for a while though as it can kill off the contractions

LBxx

 

[Jade89]

I'm so relieved that i can at least have a shower!

 

[hev&madi]

i didnt get to have a shower or bath the mornig of my section i felt horrible!

and i didnt get to have a hair cut!
