I love taking a bath... Bubbles and everything ... As long as your water isn't broken you can use soap and bubbles whatever u want ... Just like the other ladies said just don't use super hot water I think my doctor said under 100 degrees... No hot tubs... Or saunas... But baths do wonders for my hurting body right now I'm 28 weeks 6 days ! I like to lotion my belly with cocoa butter when I dry off bc my belly is starting to stretch!

I take them all the time. Helps relieve all the aches and pains the bigger I got. As long as the water isn't too hot where you have to inch your way in slowly until your body gets used to it.

steaming hot baths arent good for you while pregnant, try a nice warm bath nothing better than lying back in the water and feeling weightless very relaxing try it, and enjoy

Its not bad at all. You might actually enjoy it because it will take some of the weight off when you get bigger. I loved swimming, it took all the back pain away.  You just don't want to take really hot baths, that's not good for baby.
