Are baths ok?

Question

I love having bath, it’s my way to relax at the end of the day but now I keep hearing that baths are bad for me? Is this true? Been looking around and get very conflicted answer; some say no bathes other day only cold bathes. If anybody has and advice in this matter I would happy listen. Waiting so long for this little peanut I am scared to do anything to harm them.

Answer

I take baths all the time and I’m 32 weeks pregnant. I just don’t have them boiling hot. I don’t take my temp while in the bath - I think you can tell your own body and know if it’s too hot or not

Answer

Warm baths are fine under 98 degrees / body temp.

Answer

You can have a bath, just keep your body temp from getting high, if you get red and sweaty you’re too hot. Baths are fine though.

Answer

Baths are fine as long as the water isn’t super super hot. I take a bath every day and did with my son too.

Answer

You can take a warm bath just not a super hot one. Your body temp shouldn’t go past a certain temperature so just keep it warm and you should be fine 👍🏻

Answer

You’re fine to be in a bath because it cools as you sit in it. Don’t continue circulating hot water into your bath because that could cause you (and the baby) to overheat. Add cold water to your bath if you start to sweat or experience shortness of breath.

Answer

I take a bath every day!
