    ur not meant to have ur bath too hot - but i use to love hot baths!!!!
    as a few ppl have said - as long as ur comfy - bubs should be too!
    Peanuts would kick heaps if i had a cold shower - so i guess she didnt like them!

    Hi there,

    As long as the water isn't freeeeeezing cold and lowering your body temperature to hypothermia, your baby will be fine. Hot baths are ok, as long as your temperature doesn't increase too much. Same as with strenuous exercise. Bubs can't regulate their temp so if your temp rises too high so does theirs. Just don't overdo the temperature so that it's scorching and you're sweating. Same reason why you should avoid saunas etc. HTH
