Baths okay?

Question

Hi everyone. 15 weeks preggo. 
I’ve read that baths are ok if not over 98.6. I tried that and GROSS! Felt like old bath water. I asked my doc and he said as long as you dint have to ease yourself in (bc the heat level), it’s ok. 
I’m a paranoid mamma to be.  Has anyone taken normal baths? Any issues? Concerns? 
I miss baths :( and wine! :)

Answer

i’m 31 weeks and still take nice hot baths. did it with my daughter as well. obviously not hot enough to burn me but i can’t just do a lukewarm bath either. besides the fact that i’m huge and it’s like godzilla getting out of the water a bath is fine. i’m more so doing showers now because a bath is an insane amount of work for me now

Answer

I’ve taken a couple of baths.. (I’m 12w). I think as long as the water isn’t hot enough to make your skin flush and your face get sweaty it’s fine. The whole idea is not to raise your internal temperature.

Answer

My bath water is very hot and I'm fine. Now It will be cooler where it's getting very hot outside

Answer

I’ve always heard that the water is too hot if it turns your skin red

Answer

If It turns your skin red it's too hot

Answer

I did at least once a week. If u aren’t sweating or getting red then it’s fine. It would have to be like hot tub heat, for a LONG time to affect you’d baby.

Answer

You can take a bath, as long as the waters not super hot.
