Hot tub and 37 weeks

My birthday is this weekend and my husband wants to take me some where special but he doesn't know if I'm allowed to get into a hot tub. Can anyone help me answer this question.

Don't risk it. Just wait until after the baby is born and then celebrate your birthday.

I do agree with the infection part of the hot tub thing if its a public hot tub! But i have one of my own! I get in it all most every night! My back hurts so bad on the nights i dont get in there! My baby is healthy and due in 9days! I dont stay in there long! Like 5 to 10 minutes at a time. I have a glass of ice water next to me and i relax and sip on the water!

Besides the fact your not supposed to be in temps that high the risk of infection is not worth it.

They say baby's body heats up twice at hot and twice as fast as we do, so not a good idea!

Hot tubs are a big no.  You're not supposed to let your body get that hot.
