Is there anything wrong with taking warm baths or bubble baths while pregnant? I have heard/read conflicting info on this. I recently had some complications and it happened to be on a day when I had soaked in a warm tub for 20 minutes. I'm not sure if one thing had anything to do with the other. But I don't want to stop my baths if I don't have to! They are my only relief for sore and tired muscles nowadays!!

Re: Please clear this up for me!
I think it depends upon what your complications were...
Warm baths can be harmful [to the baby] if your body temperture rises too much! Also, if you have any cervical issues, bathing is not recommended b/c it can cause infections.
Otherwise, I'm not aware of any other issues that would prevent you from enjoying an occasional soak to ease your pains....just remember that you cannot bathe after your water breaks! Showers only!

I'm not sure about baths but I've read that showers that are too hot are not good while pregnant.

I am going to call my doctor on this now. I am dying for a bath - I am just so sore!
