Baths safe???

Question

I’m 8w 4d pregnant today and stressed and could really use a bath... wondering if there safe??? I heard lukewarm water is ok is this true?? Had a miscarriage in December so obviously don’t want to risk anything going wrong God forbid. Also, is bubble bath safe to use? Have some cucumber and lavender bubble bath and was looking forward to taking a nice long bath.

Answer

Yes you can take a bubble bath.. just make sure the water isn’t too hot and don’t soak for too long.. 
the risk is your body temp going up.. 
I usually soak for about 15 maybe 20 minutes and then get out! If I have the water a little more hot than normal, I probably only soak for 5 to 10 minutes!

Answer

I took a bath all through my last pregnancy, including after my water broke. I'm doing the same this time. You'll be fine, go relax mama.

Answer

Don’t overheat yourself and stay hydrated and you’re fine! The bath can still be hot, just not TOO hot.

Answer

I took a bath everyday for like 20 weeks when I was preggo with my son. I'd say it's fine, just watch the temp!

Answer

My doctor said no. Not until after week 10. Something about neural tubes closing that week so after that it should be ok as long as it's not too hot.  It seems like doctors all have different recommendations. I'd call yours and ask.
