Posted: 06-20-06 16:37pm

I have been trying to lose weight but I just found out I was pregnant. If I continue to use the plastic sauna suit would it hurt the baby?? :roll:

Why would you continue to lose weight while pregnant? I understand wanting to stay in shape but wearing a suit thats meant for making your sweat purfusly isnt exactly the smartest idea for a pregnant woman.

Suana suits will raise your body temp and your body goes into overdrive sweating it off,a raise in temp can also raise bp, so no, its not really advisable.

One very good reason it's bad is because when your preggers the risk of dehydration is great. So if your sweating off all of your fluids then.....Dehydration will be at it's greatest.

it shouldn't have if you've just found you're pregnant and have quit using it. You shouldn't continue to use it.

Sauna suits - or any sauna, really - will not help you to lose fat-weight. It will only cause you to lose water, which your body will naturally need to replace. Meaning, any weight you 'lost' would come back. The most sensible weight loss is to think of calories in/calories out. You need to expell more calories than you take in. This is not advised during pregnancy.

Good luck and have a happy & healthy 9 months!
