Can I take a shower after my water breaks?
If your water has broken, and you're wondering whether you should rush to the maternity ward or if you have time to shower, here are some answers.
- For some women, delivery occurs quickly after their water breaks, while others may have to wait another day or two.
- However, once the water breaks, germs can easily reach your baby, so it is advisable to go directly to the maternity ward.
- The OB-GYN will take a sample from the cervix to make sure there is no infection.
- If your baby doesn't arrive right away, you will have the opportunity to shower or bath there, under supervision.
