It is almost never safe to go into a jacuzzi when pregnant. Exposure to hot water, like in a hot tub or steam room can make you overheat, which raises your heart rate and reduces blood flow to your uterus. This could put your baby at risk. Additionally, it can be difficult for pregnant women to cool down which could cause you to pass out. Just avoid it until you deliver.

No No NO!!!!! It is not safe to go in a jacuzzi during pregnancy full stop - mainly down to the temperature of the water not being safe for baby as they cannot regulate their own temp like we can

Absolutely not! The high temperature in the jacuzzi is dangerous to the fetus. I am 26 weeks pregnant and trust me I wish we (pregnant women) could, but it is not safe.

It would depend how hot the jacuzzi is, and probably no more dangerous than taking a bath, but might be best not to risk it.

Best thing to do is talk to your Doctor.
Most public Jacuzzi's have a warning about pregnant women and I have always heard it is unsafe! Better to be careful than sorry.

No! It is absolutely never safe to go into a hot tub/jacuzzi when pregnant. This makes the womb temperature very unpleasent and is very dangerous to the fetus.

best way to be sure is to take a thermometer and to check the tempertaure of the jacuzzi. if its above 85 f or 30C i would stay well away and if it is below make sure you drink plenty of water.
to be 100% sure though call your midwife or doctor.
are you going somewhere hot?
stay out of the sun if temperatures are 85F or above and make sure you drink fluids reguarly, dehydration raises the risk of early labour!

Nope. No jacuzzis, hot tubs, whirlpools, hot baths....they all raise your internal body temp and is potentially harmful to baby. Showers are o.k. though.

No apparently not and I don't just think it's water temp. My husband bought me a thing you put on side of bath to make bubbles, I was so excited till I read the instructions and it said not to be used when pregnant.
