Never heard of that sounds like an old
wives tale, the only thing I know form
what the drs told me is not to take a bath
when my water broke for risk of infection
besides that your fine to go....
My blood pressure fluctuated the first 5
months from really low to high but it
wasnt during bath time, by a digital blood
pressure thing I have one and its
awesome!!

My dr told me to avoid hot baths/showers
hot tubs/saunas/steam rooms cause when you
get overheated or too warm its bad for the
baby some how I dont know.. But I would
avoid it just incase..

I think it is true. When I get in hot
bath I sometimes feel like i'm going to
faint. I tried ity while pregnant before
I found out it was bad and I could only
manage a few seconds and I had to get out.

Before I was even pregnant sometimes I
would feel like I was going to faint from
a hot shower/bath.

Say No to Hot Bath's Posted: 05-17-06 21:26pm
Yes, as said by a doctor " hot bath's /
hot water can cause harm to your baby" .
Its not good to stay in a hot bath/ hot
tub for more than 15 minutes. I would
stay with luke warm water if I was you.
Good luck in your decisions,
and with your preggyness.
