Is getting in the bath tub OK to do while you are 7 weeks pregnant?

as long as the water is not too hot. i used to love taking hot hot baths but since being pregnant i limit my water to being warm but not hot because it can raise the core body temperature which stays elevated long after the bath is over and it can cause problems. better to be safe than sorry.Is getting in the bath tub OK to do while you are 7 weeks pregnant?
of course it is, why wouldn't it be? that myth about bacteria traveling up into the womb through dirty bath water is just an old wives tale. Water does not enter the vagina unless it is forced (like say, by jumping in pool, or using those great shower hose things), and even if water does enter the vagina, it cannot reach the baby who is safe in the amniotic sac which is blocked by the mucos plug. Unless your water has broken, it is perfectly safe to take a bath at any stage in pregnancy.Is getting in the bath tub OK to do while you are 7 weeks pregnant?
I'm no doctor or nurse, but what i do know is that towards the end of your third trimester they ask you not to take hot baths or get into jacuzzi's hot tobs, etc... But right now i'd say you would be okie dokie :) But call a nurse to verify!
Its perfectly fine as long as you keep the water temperature under 100 degrees Fahrenheit . You just don't want it to raise your core temperature.
It's fine. I took baths my entire pregnancy. Just make sure the water isn't too hot and you're fine. (and in the later months, you may want to make sure you have someone around to help you to be sure you don't fall.) enjoy the tub :)
Yes,it's fine. Dr's just don't want you to take a bath or swimming when you are really far along because of risk of infection and you may not be able to tell if your water breaks.
I think its ok. I asked the same questions a few weeks ago also. I am 10 weeks. I love taking baths, so hopefully I wont have to stop anytime soon. I just dont make them as hot as i used to .
yes you can take a bath while you are pregnant, the only time its not a good idea is when you're water breaks but any other time its ok, i asked my doctor this question too
Its definitly ok its like going swimming
ooh ya enjoy be careful not to get the water to hot it will make you sick.
Yes, so long as the water is not too hot.
yeah. as long as you dont slip or anything, yeah, its fine
