Baths- yaaay or nay?

Question

My Glow-task for today was to run a bath and soak for a little bit. I love taking baths especially with my back pains and can't even imagine going through the winter without them. But... I read in more than one place that they are not recommended in pregnancy! I'm 8 weeks now. Any thoughts??

Answer

Just take in a thermometer and keep the temp under 100 degrees.  I take baths constantly.  Love them.

Answer

My Dr. said baths are fine, just don't make them really hot.  I take them all the time & I am 8 w 5 d

Answer

Baths and even hot tubs are just fine during pg, provided you don't stay in the hot tub til you're hear tears is through the roof and you're dizzy! There's absolutely no problem with baths either. Studies have been done, my midwife has said the same - but in the end, you just have to decide what's best for you and what you're comfortable with. I have been in hot tubs for all 4 of my pregnancies and will with this one too, I've never had any problems. Not sure why any study would say a bath is not good for pg women??

Answer

I still take them! Just listen to your body, if you start to feel overheated run some cold water or get out.
