Am I making a big deal of this?

So I'm sort of feeling really guilty this morning because I got in our jacuzzi tub this weekend. We just finished remodeling our master bathroom and it was calling my name. I think I was in there for about 15 minutes, but it was pretty hot. My skin was red when I got out. I was thinking that I was only supposed to avoid them in 1st tri, but read afterwards that I'm not supposed to be in them at all.

To add fuel to the fire, I weighed myself when I got to work this morning. I haven't gained anything in 2 weeks.

So is this panic material or am I overthinking this?

Hmmm.  Worth a call to your OB, I think.  My SIL who is an OB got a little crazy when I asked her if I could get in a hot tub while pg, but she regularly overreacts. Plus, I sort of tuned her out once she ruined my fun, so I didn't listen to her reasoning.  If nothing else, it would ease your mind.  It's what they are there to do.  Might as well ask!

Kara, I'm sure you're absolutely fine and your bean is perfect! But ditto Ann - might as well call, right?

The weight gain thing would have me more worried (though worried is too strong of a word) than the bath, to be honest.  I have been known to take a few pregnant bubble baths but I am fairly relaxed when it comes to the pregnancy "rules" like that one. Have you felt the baby kicking around like normal?  If you are worried, I'd definitely call.

Alright, I called and she said nothing to worry about since I wasn't in there very long, but not to get in again.

Also, she said she's looking at my total weight gain, which is fine so far, and she'll check it again at my appointment on Friday.

Thanks for easing my mind!

I hope everything is ok!

My doc always said it was okay as long as I didn't start to sweat...in fact, she encouraged it to help with the swelling, pelvic and back pain.
