    Red face I need to know if bath is ok whilst pregnant!!

    OK so tell me is it ok to have a bath during IVF I was told no bath, no heat packs, no hot showers etc etc cause you will kill the embryo and now I am dying for a nice warm bath to relax in but am scared...

    So question being is it safe to have a bath yet? I'd ask my OB but he is on holidays atm and don't think its that urgent to ask him LOL

    yes, it's fine. The only issue during pregnancy is overheating - so make sure it's not too hot. If you're sweating, and or looking lobsterish time to get out.
    Enjoy!

    BTW - I was never told that during IVF. Sounds suss to me

    Nice warm baths were my life safer in my last pregnancy, just make sure someone is home to help you get out if you get stuck...
