My doctor said I could take a hot bath as long I wasn't having to ease into the water or breaking a sweat from the temperature

-_- can't take HOT showers or baths because the temp in your body will get too hot for baby and cuts oxygen. Just to give u the right info.... however I think a nice warm bath should be ok. Enjoy and have a blessed labor and healthy baby

You can take a  warm bath. You're not supposed to take a bath once your water breaks due to infections, but you can take one if you're dilated.
