There are different opinions on this one (some experts worry about risk of infection), so ask your OB or midwife to be sure. Once your water breaks, you shouldn’t really do anything without running it by your doctor first. In fact, she'll probably want you to call as soon as the amniotic sac springs a leak, and will probably ask you to come on in to the hospital, at least in the next few hours.Plus, more from The Bump:Discharge During PregnancyTop 10 Pregnancy FearsDealing With Late Pregnancy Excerpted from The Baby Bump: 100s of Secrets to Surviving Those Nine Long Months Can I Take a Bath After My Water Breaks? If my wife's water broke, I would immediately take her to the hospital.

No, I'm kidding, I would be very concerned about her and the baby's health. KumaraKama | Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts
