I know it isn't recommended, but sometimes a warm bath relieves me of nausea. Is it safe?

The First Trimester: Bathing
Both baths and showers are fine to take during pregnancy, but very hot baths, hot tubs, and saunas can be harmful to the fetus, or cause you to faint. You also might want to avoid taking frequent bubble baths or baths with perfumed products that might irritate your vaginal area, and increase your risk of a urinary tract infection or yeast infection. Do not use douches, even vinegar-based douches, without first talking with your health care provider. Although vaginal discharge tends to be heavier during pregnancy, you should see your health care provider if you have vaginal itching, burning or a heavy discharge. You could have a urinary tract infection, yeast infection, viral or bacterial infection that needs treatment.

Of course! There are water births happening everyday. It's safe! If you're prone to yeast and bladder infections I'd suggest you limit your bath time ( pregnant or not ) and limit the use of bubbles and salts. The reason they tell you not to have your bath too hot is the fear of you passing out. If the water isn't too hot for you then the water will be fine for your unborn child. If you're still unsure of the answers you get here.. ask your doctor.. only he/she can tell you what's best for you! Good luck...

I wanted to know the exact same thing. I think it's not safe to have a hot bath so I guess you should just make it warm so that you can handle it so it's not too cold.

Yes you can soak in the tub all you want just remeber that the water temperture can't be to hot. I have read that the what every your temperature is in the shower your baby is 2 degrees hotter. not to sure how accurate that is but enjoy your tub for now and speak to your doctor about it when you get a chance good luck

The only thing I know that is not recommended is swimming
in the ocean ( I was told by my doc)
but as for taking a bath I don't know, you should call your doc
and ask
Congratulations

Girl just sit down and enjoy that bath. Just make sure the water temp is not too hot. You can cause damage then. Just make sure the tub is clean and enjoy.
