yes baths are okay throughout your pregnancy. like the others mentioned, you don't want the water to be too hot, it raises your blood pressure, cause your body is trying to cool itself off. However, hot tubs are okay, if you lower the temp first! It would probably feel realy realy good to sit in a hot tub actually.
the only time a bath is not recommended is after your water breaks, it increases the risk of infection. other than that, your doctor will inform you if they're another reason he would prefer you to shower instead.

Yes, it's safe. Baths are safe in all trimesters. No hot tubs, though and no jets.

Its perfectly safe to have a bath...as long as its not a hot one. Pregnant women should not heat up their core temperature.

When I was pregnant, they actually told me it wasn't good to take baths at all to prevent possible infection from dirt or bacteria in the water or anything else.

You can, just don't have too hot of water. You don't want to raise your temperature too high, so just be careful!!
