bath

I'm having cramps and I've been told when that happens don't take a bath, is this true? Should I just have a quick shower?

28 weeks but I've already gone into crazy labor twice where they had to stop it so I'm just really scared and being a hypochondriac now because I don't want anything to happen or go wrong
