Evening Ladies,

I am craving a warm bath - but have been to scared to have one!

Is it safe to have a bath as long as not to hot??

Sorry if this is a silly question!!

Enjoy your warm bath hun! Nothing better but as you said, keep it warm not hot!!!

From my experience only its fine to have a bath. Keep the temperature to around 37 degrees an you will be fine. Really hot baths can raise you body temp which isnt good for bubs but if you can keep the temp of the water to body temp a bath can be very theraputic for all sorts of pregnancy ailments as well as being just nice and relaxing.

After all we do like to use them in labour and women give birth in the bath. I say go for it!!

Like the others said - go for it and when you have a big belly rest your book on it!!

Oh yes a bath is a luxury you can enjoy whilst pg - I'm guilty of having mine on the hot side...

I have a bath nearly every day, and now that my belly is so big, it is nice to roll over and the water supports my tummy! A few drops of lavender is very relaxing!
