I suppose it depends on the individual hospital. Our hospital tubs are fine to birth in, germ-wise.gregory said:Indeed ! I also found moving around helped a lot. I was threatened with induction (4 weeks overdue) but as soon as they gave me a date for it, I went into labour. I think my daughter heard and thought NO WAY !
Good luck. They can't make you do anything. Go with how you feel. (But I am told hospital birthing pools are one of the most germridden places going, so you may be well out of that; the best way is apparently a hired one in your home, as they get dried out and disinfected between every use. I believe hospital ones are swilled out but not dried....
See kekepania, 4 weeks over and all was still fine.
