    LMAO!!!!!!!

    I heard it's not good to go into hot tubs, but a hot bath it's ok, as long as your body temperature doesn't go sky high... I would do a quickie!

    Haha. I was a little bit worried because of all the talk about overheating and hot tubs/hot baths. I think you're fine as long as it's quick and you don't get too overheated. I've taken a couple 10-15 min baths, I just don't have the water as hot as I normally like it (I like it really hot, so now I just keep it warm). I think that's fine.

    A warm bath is fine - you don't want your body temp going over 101 or something like that.

    My gauge, since I have fair skin, is if my skin turns pink, it's too hot. (add more cold water)

    My doc said HOT was not ok, but warm is fine.  WTEWYE says that the important factor is to not get internal body temp above 102F, so I just used my kitchen thermometer to check my bathwater temp, and I don't let it get above 100 F.  It isn't as hot as I like it, but it is still soothing.

    If it's too hot your body will let you know, I tried taking a hot bath the day before I found out and got super nauseous and dizzy....

    Your body is not going to let you hurt the baby that easily. You will get uncomfortable and want to get out long before you harm the baby
