Not an actual question

I am 17weeks 2days. Wen I took a bath I wet the towel in hot water & rested it on my stomach where the baby was. So it moved away & came right back for me to do it again lol. Anyone else gets to play with their little one?

LOL!! yes I am pretty sure a washcloth that was in hot water on her belly will not cause any harm to her baby!!! Haha and I lag my phone on my belly and she kicks thats almost every time! And also when my niece and/or dog lay against my belly she starts kicking them as well haha good luck with your pregnancy!! :)

I Was Told That Warm Baths Are Fine Bc The Water Temp Drops But Hot Tubs Remain At A Constant Warm Temp So Those Are A No Go.

No I don't submerge my whole body & yes the towel was more warm than steaming hot. Thank you.

I was told as long as you don't submerge your entire body in the hot water, it's fine. It's more about raising your internal body temp. If you sit in it long enough or have it hot enough to feel dizzy, then get out or cool it down. Also, heating pads are only to be used on low settings diectly on the abdomen. If the rag was just warm then you are fine.
