Perfect bath temp?

Question

Ok mommas so before I was pregnant I always took baths for my back pain and now that I'm almost 33 weeks I'm miserable every single day almost all day but I've been too scared to try a bath since all I've heard is not to take a bath but I've seen a lot of mommas post how baths really help them. How can I tell if my bath is an okay temp for me and baby without having one of those bath thermometers? Cuz I'm the type to like the really hot baths when I'm not pregnant of course? I'm dying to take a bath so I would love some advice!!!

Answer

I'm 32w pregnant and I have taken a bath in HOT water every single day since I've been pregnant. I just don't stay in for a long time. Maybe about 10-15 min tops! Take a bath, girl and relieve that pain! 🙃

Answer

I've always taken hot bath before pregnancy.. Love them!

Now I just take.. Not quite so hot baths. I'm 34 weeks now, and have been taking baths throughout my whole pregnancy. I've just read that as long as you can dip your feet in comfortably tot eat the water without being scalded or something, then it's alright.

Or  bathtub is pretty shallow and the water doesn't stay very hot for very long anyway, so I think it's fine. Everything in my pregnancy is healthy thus far.

Just make sure the tub is clean I guess to prevent getting an infection.

I'm almost afraid to take showers at this point because I'm scared I'll slip and that's a longer way down!

Answer

I'm on my second pregnancy (32 weeks with twins) and i always took/take hot baths. My doctor told me as long as i can handle it and not feel nauseous or like uncomfortable it's okay. I just heard it can be bad to take rly hot baths in the first trimester. :)

Answer

I'm in a piping hot bath right now! It's shallow and the water runs out way too quickly so it's not been an issue.  I drink a bottle of ice water while I'm in the bath and if I get too hot, I'll rinse with cool water.  The main thing is trying to keep your temperature normal. A rise in temp can decrease blood/oxygen to baby which is the "issue" most people have with a bath.

Answer

Baths are great if the temp is kept under 100 degrees. Basically if it hurts your feet as youbstepmonnots too hot. If your skin turns pink it's too hot. I'm not sure how you can check the temp but ours has a temperature gauge built in. Just make sure you don't sit in there longer than an hour.

Answer

I only really have baths. I'll have showers when I'm in a super rush but I'm a bath type girl. 
Fill the bath up to just cooler than what you would normally have and then turn on the hit tap when you get in. That's what I do xx

Answer

I would just keep it at 100 degrees. I take baths a few times a week :)
