Second Trimester

Is it okay to take hot baths in the early weeks of pregnancy or should i just not do it at all?

I know its not good to take hot baths during pregnancy but i was wondering if that rule is for the entire pregnancy? I am now 13 weeks and i love my hot baths, but My last pregnancy, i sat in a jacuzzi at 8 months thinking it was warm,but obviously it was still too hot of a temperature fot my baby because later on that day i went into labor having to have a c section.

Sounds like you know the answer to this.  Dr says warm is ok.  Hot is not.  They do not recommend jacuzzi or saunas while pregnant - at any point.  It's a short term sacrifice for a long term gain.

If your body over heats so does your baby and it could cause perminate brain damage to your child. So hot baths, sauna, hot tubes, ect. are a no no.
