Bath?

Question

I am almost seven weeks. I haven't taken a bath in MONTHS and am so sore and I'm dying to take one. I've heard you can't, is this true? Does anyone else take baths while pregnant?

Answer

Baths were the only thing that got me through the first 6 weeks. Dr. told me that if it is too hot to the touch of your foot when you put your toes in then it is too hot for the baby. Also, you shouldn't be getting hot or flushed in the face from the heat of the bath. 
Also, from my experience, epsom salt in the bath worked miracles on my cramps and aches.

Answer

I always took baths. I bring a thermometer in the bath with me. If my temp gets close to 100° then it's time to cool the water down or get out

Answer

I have 4 children and I've never been told I couldn't take a bath when I was pregnant. I know they say to be extra careful as you get further along and your balance isn't as good cause you could slip but not this early in your pregnancy.

Answer

As long as your cervix is closed it shouldn't be an issue being submerged in water.... just don't let the water get too hot

Answer

You can take a bath as long as it's not super hot. They say don't make it too hot like 100F or something.

Answer

Just watch the water temperature. I'm not even sure it matters this early but later on it poses risks. That's why you can't get in a hot tub while pregnant.
