    Can I have a bath?

    Ok may seem like a strange question but for those who have done IVF it's drilled into you risks of having a bath to an embryo. Tonight I want a bath for the first time in 3 months but DH is concerned.
    It's ok at my stage of pg to have a warm bath right?

    yep - just not so that you body temp rises - so warm not hot.

    Tell Dr Dusty that I said it was OK!

    I think once you have got to this stage everything is similar to a normal pregnancy. My last pregnancy I was having hot (but not tooo hot) baths all the time to help with my hips and back. It was great for relaxation as well.

    Perfectly ok, just like Muppity said, nice and warm, not too hot.

    Try not to completely submerge yourself in the bath. Keep your shoulders out so your body temp doesn't go up. Enjoy.
