Hot showers are a no no during pregnancy.
Like Clysta said, it raises your body temperature and the temperature of your amniotic fluid..

You should not be taking hot showers, baths, using hot tubes or saunas. All of these can raise your body temperature which can heat the amniotic fluid.

When I was pregnant with my son the doctors told me that it was not safe.  I also love hot showers and although i was told not to I took them anyway because it was the only way i could relax. However, I didn't stay in there very long at all because it can raise your internal body temp. and it is NOT safe for your baby. Hope this helped.
