Most of the time in early pregnancy, it is ok. After a certain point, doctor's don't recommend it (like if you have started to dialate at all) since there is a small risk of contaminated water entering the vagina. Talk to your OB to find out their thoughts on your particular case.

theres actually books and stuff out there that recommend that you soak yourself in the bath sometimes. I'm 5 months along, taken many baths and i've been fine.

Yes, it is perfectly fine. I am 40 weeks and I still take baths.

as long as your bag of waters is still intact you can bathe. Once your bag of waters ruptures consult your doctor or midwife. Of course you will want to make sure someone is nearby who can help you get in and out of the tub.

Yes as long as you have not begun dialating (small chance of causing infection) and as long as you are able to safely get into and out of the bathtub. You will also want to avoid water that is extremely hot.

I did it every day when I was pregnant. It gets a little hard to get out after a while though.

Yes, but be careful getting in an out. Have someone nearby if you are very big and akward. Be safe.
