I am almost 9 weeks and I just wanna relax in the tub as long as the water is not super hot is it ok for me and the baby? How hot is too hot?? Does it change as you get father along??

  • Yeah, just not steaming, as long as you aren't sweating and have water right there next to you, you should be all right. The key is to not raise your body temp, but you'll sweat when you do.
  • Ok thank you I've been dying for a bubble bath to destress. I really appreciate the info!!
  • as long as it doesnt raise your body temp to 102 degrees then you're fine. Enjoy your bath :)
  • Np, I love baths and completely understand! :)
  • dont use bubble bath though jusy soap can cause uti at best of times
  • Ok thanks a lot for the advice ladies!!
  • Your bath water can't be over 100 degrees
  • Is going to the beach out of the question?
  • nope I go 2 beach all the time just dont go when u due incase waters break ;p
  • My doc said hot tubs are not good because they maintain their temperature, but a soak in the bathtub won't harm anything because the temperature drops at a continuing rate.
