Is it ok to take hot showers or baths
while you are pregnate? I always have,
and then I heard it mentioned that you
shouldnt. I also sleep on a heated
waterbed, and was told its ok so long as
ur body temp doesnt rise above 100 and
some, but our bed is set on 84 deg.
Anyone know any thing on either of these
topics?????
I dont no for sure, but my friend is
pregnant with twins right now and she
takes a lot of hot baths. The temp, is
fine, but you should probably take showers
and baths, because she has had a problem
with yeast infections. I take baths, but
I switch between showers and baths.

You are not suppose to take hot baths
while you are pregnant only "warm baths"
they say it has something to do with the
baby not being able to regulate it
tempature well or something like that. As
for waterbeds I havent heard a thing.
Hope that helps

Im pretty sure its ok to take a warm, or
even slightly hot bath...As long as ur
temp doesnt rise too much....Remember your
babys temperature is always one degree
warmer than yours.

Hi as far as ive heard you are never
supposed to take a hot bath while pregnant
like previously mentioned your only
supposed to take warm baths (which can
really suck when you want a hot soak) and
as far as the waterbeds my sister who has
three kids said the dr woundnt even let
her sleep on hers until she could get a
new bed he said it would be better for her
to sleep on the couch but drs have
different opions so just go with what
yours says good luck!
