Jacuzzi bathtubs

ME and hubby just moved into a house a couple weeks ago, and in our bathroom is a Jacuzzi bathtub.  I have already been in it about 4 times, and now people are starting to tell me that the vibrations from it can start early labor and arnt good for baby. Is that true. and if so what do I do now that Ive already done it 4 times. I am 33 weeks if that makes a difference.

Yeah, as long as the water is not scalding hot, the jets from the tub are fine.

I have a history of preterm labor and have never been told that the vibrations were bad, you just have to watch how hot the water gets which is why you are'nt supposed to go in hot tubs. if your concerned though talk with your Dr about it, I find that a nice bath can actually calm down early contractions and is soothing. just to be safe though ask your Dr and good luck!

I've only hears that your not suppose to use jacuzzi's hot tubs because it raises your body tempeture.  With it being a bath tub you can control the temp though so I would think it would be ok. I don't know about the vibrations.
