Are Jacuzzis safe to.......you know haha

We are going away for my Birthday this weekend. I love Jacuzzis but am wondering if it's safe to have sex in them while pregnant. I can't remember reading anything on this ever........has anyone else come across any info?

I've always read no jacuzzis while pregnant because of the high temperatures.

I would say no...you can get bacteria inside that wouldn't be good.

I can't imagine why they wouldn't be safe. As long as your mp is in tact nothings getting up there. Just don't make the water too hot.

Depends on the temperature.  You need to make sure that you're not getting overheated.

Jacuzzis aren't safe anyway - at least if you sit in there too long.  I don't think I'd attempt it, personally.  And you never know what kind of germs you'll get up in there.

You aren't even supposed to be in a jacuzzi while pregnant. The sex part wouldn't matter.

I would say a big fat no.  Even when not pregnant, it's not recommended by doctors that you have sex in jacuzzi's.

They don't want any air getting up inside of you, and when you have sex in water, there is a large chance that you can get air pockets inside you and make their way upward.

But, again, I'm not a doctor, this is just what I have read or heard from my own doctor. Because I've asked questions like this before too.

Jacuzzis aren't exactly great to have sex in anyway.  It's a lovely way to get water into your vagina which can cause irritation or infection.

I wouldn't do it in some random jacuzzi, that just skeeves me out.  I especially wouldn't while pregnant.  Before I got pg dh and I attempted sex in a jacuzzi once but it just wasn't comfortable at all so we gave up and went inside lol.

We're all adults here, you can say "Have sex"...just saying.

I went in a jacuzzi not too long ago and we kept the temp luke warm... in the 80's and I kept hopping in and out. 

As far as the sex goes though, I wouldn't recommend it, preg or not.  As pp said, water, air bubbles, germs... not a good combo!

Ditto to PP, my doctor advised no jacuzzi's at all while pregnant, they raise your core body temperature which is unsafe for baby!

Maybe you two can take a nice bath together and "ya know" outside the bath.

If there is a tub with jets in the room... it's not the same as a jacuzzi that several people can use.  You're allowed to take a bath, as long as the water isn't too hot, just don't turn on the jets?bubbles can cause an embolism or something.

So if it's in your room and you don't turn on the jets, I don't see why you can't have sex in the tub.

this post makes my vadge cringe.... ugh... water sex is the worst!

no jacuzzis or hot tubs while pg.

DH and I went to a wedding last weekend and made a babymoon of it.  We had a whirlpool tub in our room and definitely made use of it!  We just made sure the water temp wasn't too hot.  I felt okay having sex in it since it wasn't a public jacuzzi/whirlpool.  Guess it depends on how freaked out you are about germs, bacteria, etc.

sex in water isn't usually comfortable or a great idea. DH and I attempted it once and I ended up with the worst UTI of my life!

I've gone in the hot tub several times since after 1st tri. If your body gets too hot, you'll feel it and know to get out on your own way before it can do any harm to your baby.

Jacuzzis are NOT safe to go while you are pregnant.

amzingblonde03

my doctor told us not to even have sex in a hot bath... so i would assume it wouldn't be a good idea.

TSBaarson

We have a hot tub at home.  We drained it.  :-)  I was told by my OB that being in a temperature controlled tub is like putting your baby in an incubator without a way to cool himself. 

I would say that the heat of the tub, whether it be a bath tub or a hot tub, combined with the raised body temp during sex, wouldn't be a good combo. 

Just my opinion though!

thatgirlang

I've been in my ILs jacuzzi. Because I can control the temp and not have it super hot (and also I don't stay in that long anyway) I feel fine doing it. But I would not have sex in it.

will's_littleone

No sex in water.  I was told it could push water up inside you and that would not be good for baby.  Also, the temp is not good for either of you.

upnorthmama

i agree with the post about sex in the water making my cha-cha hurt. no fun for anyone...
