Newbie ?

in Pregnant after a Loss

This question might be flame worthy and I feel really stupid asking it but is it okay to take a bath with epsom or bath salts? I know hot tubs are out of the question. So as long as the water isnt too hot I assume its alright but just want to make sure.

The reason being I rolled my ankle tonight at dance class and am doing the whole ice/heat routine and was wondering if taking a bath this early is "okay"?

TIA

    I would say its ok as long as the salts are not scented with essential oils.  Some essential oils can have negative effects (for example lavendar can help bring on miscarriage--I actually took a few baths with this once we learned our baby had no hb to help my body along in the process. 

    According to the packet I got from the OB tonight, baths are just fine as long as they are not so hot they make you sweat.

    I just wanted to add, this board is really friendly, and I can't really think of any/many times people have gotten flamed for a question.  Being PGAL gives us a lot of fears and crazy thoughts/questions and I think that everyone here is really understanding of that:)
