Thoughts on hottubs while pregnant?

Question

I’ve read that if you lower the heat to 98ish, it’s okay and then I’ve also read it’s not ok at all... but isn’t it the same thing as a bath if I lower the temp? What are your thoughts?

Answer

I always avoided them.
Don’t need an overcooked baby!

Answer

I get in my hottub all the time. The most important thing is making sure that your body temp does not go over 102. So keep a thermometer near. If you start to feel hot or sweat, get out. I keep my hottub around 97/98. Just watch your body temp and keep a thermometer near.

Answer

I was told to avoid them just to be on the safe side.

Answer

I did but I always take baths that are a hot as a hot tub bc it’s the only thing that helps when my hip gets bad an can barely walk. I was also told by my dr is short periods and moderation it’s fine . He told me 10-15 minutes tops

Answer

I remember really wanting to sit in a hot tub so bad while I was pregnant lol. Hot tubs get really germy though so idk. I’d think it would be ok at 98 though if you know it’s clean (like if it’s your own personal hot tub).

Answer

Personally I wouldn’t go in a hot tub. For me I feel like I would cook my baby like a hard boiled egg lol. 
When I was pregnant I didn’t even take a bath and only took lukewarm showers. 
But that’s just my personal opinion. Maybe ask your doctor what they think.
