Hot tub while pregnant?

Question

I dunked myself in the hottub for a minute, sat from my waist down for a few more minutes, then kept my legs in pulling them out occasionally to cool off. I'm almost 7 months, I know extended exposure to heat like that isn't good for baby but is a couple of minutes fine to sit in? I've been sore and it felt amazing on my legs I wish I could of stayed longer.

Answer

Not safe at all. Just take a warm bath.

Answer

My doctor explained it as "we don't want boiled babies". She told me no hot baths and absolutely no hot tubs but was completely okay with long soaks in a pool.

Answer

One of the first things my doctor told me was not to get in the hot tub. Your feet in it are okay but your whole body is a huge no no.

Answer

Hot tub is fine if the temperature doesn't exceed 98 Fahrenheit. I use mine all the time.

Answer

No it raises body temp and babies temp

Answer

No it raises your body temp which is bad for baby. By all means do it if you want but while I was pregnant I avoided hot tubs and hot water even a swimming pool because it was connected to a hot tub so water was hot.

Answer

My OB told me I can use hot tubs in the third trimester. Just definitely not the first trimester. I still won’t do it but it was mentioning it as a way to help with my SPD pain. I was like this is my 4th baby and I’ve never heard of that lol.

Answer

It really depends on your body, how you hold heat and how quickly you heat up. 
Hot baths are okay because they don’t maintain temperature at a dangerous level for more than three minutes typically. 
Hot tubs are meant to hold heat, even though it’s comfortable it does start to raise it pretty immediately and because it gradually raises your temp, you’re less likely to notice the change in your temp. Be very careful

Answer

Not recommended, but research is still limited.  If it was under 10mins you likely did not raise your body temp enough to do harm.  The concern is also more associated with early pregnancy due to NT defects.
