Expert Q&A
Question:
If my water breaks, can I still labor in the tub?
Answer:

Even when the amniotic sac ruptures, or the water breaks, a woman can labor in the water. Studies show that the risk of infection does not increase from laboring in the water, whether the amniotic sac breaks while the mother is in the tub, or whether it was already ruptured before she got in the water.
