Hot Baths

I recently took two hot baths and now I'm really worried after a friend told me how bad they are. I like my water pretty hit and I stayed in for about 30 minutes. I've been so careful with everything I eat and do and now I'm really worried I've put my baby in danger. I've read the 102 degree rule and I'm pretty sure mine was hotter. Any advice?

    Hot baths are ok because unlike a jacuzzi the water gets cool over time where the water remains constant with a jacuzzi. Also the main danger is mom getting to hot and an increase in your heart rate or passing out if the water is too warm. Otherwise it's perfectly fine to take a hot bath.

    I just prop my legs up and keep my arms out to regulate my body tempature. Plus keep a water bottle with me.

    Listen to your body. But tub water gets cooler too.

    I take hot baths all the time. I heard if it's to the point that you have to ease in then you should cool the water down. Bath time saves me a lot of stress.
