I love taking hot baths. I used to do it every week when I was younger. I haven’t done that for a while because we only had a shower tub in our last apartment. We have moved to a house now, with a wonderful new tub. I have been thinking about it everyday now, but the problem is that I am in my late pregnancy and I don’t know if this is safe. Is there anybody who knows this stuff? Thanx

I was wondering the same thing when I was pregnant. I learned that it is safe if the temperature is set at 100 degrees and below. So, you need to be careful about this. Some experts advice just a quick dip, or making pauses in between of dipping. These limitations didn’t suit me as I really like hot water and lying down for along time, so I decided not to go through that much trouble as I wouldn’t enjoy it so much.
