Bath at 5 weeks ?

Question

I know hot tubs are not allowed as they bring your internal temperature up. But what about baths.....are they allowed? 
Anything to be careful of?  
Or no baths for the rest of pregnancy?

Answer

Keep the temp down on the water, and you should be fine 😊

Answer

I bought a tub thermometer just for peace of mind. As others have said, as long as it's not super hot you are fine.

Answer

Baths are fine just make sure the water is super hot. I’ve taken many, it’s relaxing. 
Like you can still go swimming pregnant, so baths aren’t really too much different, just warmer water temperature.

Answer

I plan to take baths regularly up until I’m close to my due date. In fact, there are herbal baths you can take to help you not tear so much during labor. I was researching this last night and the brand Earth Mama has a sitz bath product and perineal spray to help promote healing (postpartum) and elasticity of that area (pre-birth). I’m deathly afraid of tearing lol so there’s a lot of little things you can do leading up to birth to help that, including warm baths. 
Not too warm though.

Answer

Baths are only a concern if the water is too hot or if you’re waters have broken. My doc told me not to let the water be hot enough to change your skin color when I was pregnant last time.
