I feel like I need warmer showers than before?

I used to take pretty cool showers before my pregnancy. I've been noticing myself turning the water warmer and warmer over the last couple days. Now I've got it almost all the way to hot. Has anyone else experienced this, or is my hot water heater just going out? Is it safe to take a hot (although quick) shower?

  • Don't take a shower so hot that it raises your body temp.

  • If you are taking a hot shower that is too hot, you will know it! Your heart rate will change, you may even get dizzy. You won't even want to stay in the heat. If that isn't happening, it is probably fine. I have been taking warmer showers too, mostly because my muscles are so sore.
  • I am always cold the beginning of my pregnancies. I crank the heat up in the shower too. I'm also wearing jeans and sweaters even though it's still 65 outside. Those hot showers will cool back off come May though. I'm so excited to not be 9 months pregnant in July again!

  • This is a real struggle for me! I love hot hot showers! But now I step into the scalding water, and then turn it down to just regular hot after about 15 seconds. I think I still have it kinda hot for being pregnant, so I rush through my shower instead of taking extra long.
  • I'm always freezing. Thought I was anemic but my iron was good. Must be a hormonal thing.

  • I have always taken pretty hot showers. Now my showers can't get hot enough. I feel like I am at full heat within my first 5 minutes in the shower.

    I am right there with you!

    Oh, how I long to sit in a Jacuzzi...
