Are hot baths okay to take while pregnant?¿ 😬

Question

So I have struggled with insomnia for as long as I can remember.. and what helps me sleep is taking a hot bath about 30 minutes before I go to bed. So I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant and I read somewhere that taking hot baths are not good for pregnant women.. is this true?

Answer

I've taken hot baths with both pregnancies and no problems. And when I say hot, it's pretty darn hot. I was told that a bath is different than a hot tub because one your body isn't fully submerged in a bath. Normally some parts of you are out of the water, and two the water eventually cools down. It doesn't stay consistently hot the whole time your in there. Once my face starts sweating I get out. I suffer from SPD so the only relief I can get before bed is a hot bath. I take one every night.

Answer

Warm bath is okay. Hot bath is not.

Answer

As long as it's not so hot that it makes your temp go over 100 and you're sweating.
