The whole bath thing.

LikeRelievingAHeadache · March 2013

I take baths. I like baths. I refuse to believe that my baby fetus sac thingy will be burned up from taking a bath. The real danger is if my temperature is elevated for an extended period of time, which would be so difficult in a regular bath tub (unless you have a Jacuzzi bath or something). So I should not think twice about taking a bath tonight, right?

You should be ok taking baths. The main reason my OB said that baths weren't recommended was because it can encourage yeast infections and UTI's. They grow better with a moist warm environment. As with most things, it is fine unless in excess.

LOL I have the same attitude with baths. Sometimes all I need to relax is a nice warm bath and a book to read. I took baths a lot with my last pregnancy and had zero issues and my doc wasn't concerned about them, she only warned about hot tubs.

I was being over cautious and avoided in most of first tri, but I've been taking them now. I know our shower/tub has something in the plumbing that won't let the temp get scalding hot. I think it's temps over 101 degrees t

This makes me feel sooo much better! I miss my baths so much! This gives me hope that I will be able to relax in my big bathtub without worrying that I'm going to hard boil the baby. I'm guessing the trick is cooler water, short and sweet.

I'm so glad you posted this because I love taking baths! I was thinking of getting a thermometer to tell me how hot the water was and to keep it under 100. I read recently that saunas/hot tubs weren't good, but a bathtub was okay since "your s

hot showers are how I survived my last pregnancy. I didn't even get out to deliver my daughter.

topofthepeek · March 2013

I'm not giving up my baths either. I just don't let them get too hot anymore

I took baths up until giving birth to my first....just not as hot. The only reason not to I'd of you're on pelvic rest as a close friend of mine is to avoid infection because of her prior pregnancy history.

I bathe everyday and my peanut is doing fine. It helped with my ms too. My only fear is that I may have a sea monkey growing, cause we like water.

mawarren · March 2013

I like hot baths and have taken one almost every night since getting pregnant. Don't worry about it.

I'm commenting on this just to show another side of the coin from the other comments and not because I'm trying to put a damper on your parade or b/c I think your opinion is wrong in the least bit b/c I totally understand where you're coming from. It's mo

JMU_Bride09 · March 2013

I think they're OK as long as they aren't too hot.

3Dewdrops · March 2013

I got a thermometer when I was pregnant with my first to make sure the bath water was 100 or below. Either the thermometer was wonky or 100 does not feel very warm to me. I had to stick with showers.

The whole bath thing.
