I don't think it is safe even when you
aren't pregnant. If you're pumping water
into there at any time you can get an
infection. If you're in a shower it's
different but I don't think it's a good
idea in a bath or a pool.
:::Sex in a hot tub, Jacuzzi or pool can
lead to infections. During sexual
activity, water can get forced into the
vagina or anus. This water may be teeming
with microbes which can lead to an
infection. Sometimes residential (and
commercial) hot tubs, pools and Jacuzzis
are not chlorinated adequately, increasing
the amount of bacteria they contain and
the likelihood of an infection. Even if
the water in a hot tub has a chlorine
level maintained in accordance to
government standards, there is still a
risk of infection if the water is forced
into the vagina or anus. Exposing a vagina
to chlorine may disrupt healthy native
bacteria and change the natural pH
(acidity) in the vagina leading to a yeast
infection.:::
