Baths while in Labour

Sammy

Looking for some insight from other mamas out there. I’m currently 30 weeks pregnant with my first, I was wondering if any women have been told if this is okay or not.

I’ve found having a bath really relaxing and comfortable while pregnant, so my question is, when I start having contractions but they are not yet close enough to make my way to the hospital can I get into the bath (at home) to relax or will this make my labour go quicker or hurt me or baby at all? Any info helps !
