Hot bath can be harmful to baby??

Question

What are the rules around bathing during pregnancy?
I read an article earlier about a hot bath being bad for baby...is this true??
P.s I am newly pregnant, for the 1st time, around 6 weeks

Answer

You can take as many hot baths as you want to.
But.
You should not go into room/water that is so hot, it rizes your body temperature. If your skin is lightly pink or red in that heat, then it is for sure too hot.

Answer

As long as you aren’t sitting in there sweating bullets, you will be fine.

Answer

A hot bath raises ur body temp which isn’t good for baby. Go for a warm bath instead.

Answer

I was told I can take baths but not hot enough to make me sweat or change colors

Answer

Nothing above 100°. Don’t says “don’t cook the baby” 🤣

Answer

I bought a bath thermometer to give me piece of mind :)

Answer

The rule I was told is nothing about 100 degrees, which is the same rule for giving your new baby a bath. I just make sure it's warm, not hot. Or grab a baby bath thermometer from the store if you're really worried. 💜

Answer

Yes, you want to avoid anything that raises your body temp, so that includes hot baths, hot tubs, and saunas.
