Are hot baths safe??

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

I love proper roasting baths too: sadly I've had to cut back to "normal" bath temperatures (and have had maybe one bath all pregnancy because of that!). So instead I find after a shower I've turned the bathroom into a steam room!

I think it shouldn't be above 30ish degrees, as that will raise your body temperature. I like almost 40 degrees in my bath so you can imagine my lack of love for hot baths!

My Ob actually told me yesterday to HAVE a hot bath. I had it hot enough to relax everything but not hot enought to make me sweat. I also love my very hot baths but have it slightly cooler and then "top up" the heat whenever it gets too cool....

It was my understanding that hot baths were safe but you should never have them without anybody else in the house as the warmth causes vasodilation which in turn may cause you to pass out.
