Is it ok for me to take a hot bubble bath? im 29wks

sarah is right a hot bath is okay, because it can't make your body temp. go up high because it doesn't stay hot long enough. Its the jacuzzi you should avoid unless its yours & you can turn the temp. below 98°. Some say no because if your body temp goes up it can harm the baby but unless your bath tub regulates a temp. your safe momma.

My midwife said unless you have a big soaker tub you can take a hot bath, because the temp of the water will not raise your body temp high enough for long enough to do any harm to the baby.

Bubble baths are recommended by most docs for back pain so you should be good just nothing to hot!

It can't be over 98 degrees Fahrenheit.

It Has To Be Warm. It Shouldn't Be Hot To Where You Slowly Go In And Turns Your Skin Red.  Bubbles Are Ok. And So Are Salt Baths. I Take Lavender And Vanilla Salt Baths Once A Week.

you can take baths (unless doctor specified not to) that are warm, anything that would cause your skin to turn pink or red, or hot water that you have to ease into, that's too hot for baby. They still have trouble regulating their body temp and it can be a harmful thing for baby if the water is too hot. Other than that you should be okay to take a bath.

I think we have to skip the bubbles and just make sure the water isn't too hot.
