Pregnancy + Hot Shower Risks?
FTM here...I've read a few times that heat on baby belly isn't good. But heat to what degree? How long? And what exactly is that risk? Worried I may have inadvertently caused harm to growing baby???
May seem a bit weird, but my "mellow out time" is just standing in the hot shower. It's so relaxing particularly if my back hurts. But tonight's shower I realized I'd been standing in the hot water longer than my usual. The hot water was streaming down at belly. Not so hot where skin is turning red, but it wasn't a lukewarm shower either.
Baby is okay in there? Didn't intentionally try to bring harm to baby; complete accident. Just enjoying the hot shower and lost track of time. A little concerned what heat from the water may have done? Or hopefully I wasn't in there long enough? I'd say about a 20-25 minute shower... Sorry if this fear seems silly, Idk, but FTM worrying about everything.
