I was just wondering the reasoning behind
not being able to get into hottubs while
you are pregnant.

B/c it can cause your body temperature to
get too high for the baby and also cause
you to pass out, thats why they said to
avoid them and really hot baths...Sux I
know..Lol

It could cause a miscarriage if you get to
overheated...Yes it can kill the baby.
But we are talking extreme hotness. Most
common side effects were children born
with mental problems, because if the fetus
overheats it can cause brain damage. I
wouldn't recommend it. Don't freak
out...I mean you can go in hottish water
as long as you don't start to feel real
hot and overheated. If you are hot and
overheated....So is that lil baby!

degree higher while in the womb.

Adding to that question lets say you are
only one to three weeks preggie, could
taking a hot bath effect the baby even if
you are not hot or at least dont feel hot,
and well sounds dumb but what about hott
showers,

I am in my third trimester and I dont
think that hot baths can effect the baby
and not showers. It would have to be hot
enough to scold your flesh. I hope hot
baths don't effect your baby because the
last two months I have been taking a very
veryyyy hot bath nightly to relieve body
pain.

the Reason Posted: 02-18-04 14:09pm
That you are not supposed to go into a hot
tub while pregnant is because the heat
constricts your blood vessels making it
harder for blood and oxygen to get to the
fetus. It is perfectly fine to take a
bath that is close to your own body
temperature. Generally the temp. In a
hot tub is about 105-110 degrees which is
too hot for baby. When you take a shower
you're not using water that is in this
temperature range.
