I recommend you to contact your doctor tell him/her that you didnt notice the sign. Just to make sure that the baby is okay... but dont you worry to much u just stayed there for a min.

Hoping everything will be fine.

I doubt being in for such a short time will cause problems but you should contact your Dr because what you are feeling could be pre term labor and could be completely unrelated.

It could kill the baby.. you're not supposed to go into a Jacuzzi it literally cooks the baby. Go to the hospital or drs just to be sure the baby is ok.

I don't think it will cause preterm labor, yu have to be in it for a while for it to cause damage...the main concern is yer body over heating and yu were not in long enough for that to happen

Yes it was a jacuzzi,it was pretty hot,bt I didn't kno. That's why as soon as I went in,I noticed my bby moving horribly,so I got out right away. I'm kinda scared since I'm havin all this pain now. Hope I dnt go to preterm labor,I still got 8wks to go. If it continues dan I will call my doc.

Jacuzzi(hot water) which is 109° isnt recommended for a pregnant women but as long as u contacted your doctor that is okay for u to go into hot water you'll be fine. I dont know how hot the water on the pool u went into but to make sure u can always contact ur doctor.
