You can get in a tub as long as it's not over 99 degrees farenheight. We just turn our hot tub down to 98-99 and it's still plenty warm enough to ease the pain.
Anyway,  as long as you weren't so hot you felt dizzy you'll probably be fine. Don't worry about it too much since the stress can do more harm than the hot tub.

I've heard it's not good.  It can induce labour and not good for baby.  You are probably Ok but I wouldn't do it anymore if I were you.  Warm baths are Ok.  :)

Your tummy will adjust the temps inside it will not harm your baby unless you are burning yourself. It is just an old wise tale that you cant get in hot water.
