Can you take a bubble bath while pregnant?

Can I take a bubble bath or use bath fizzies or salts while I am pregnant?Can you take a bubble bath while pregnant?
If the water is body temperature... which is no fun. You don't want to take the chance of raising your internal body temperature. Stay away from standing hot water for the duration of your pregnancy, It sucks, because baths would be heavenly precisely at this time, but dangerous to the baby.Can you take a bubble bath while pregnant?
yes as long as its not to to hot i take one at least 3 times a week just to relax im getting close to my due date. so soak up for about 15 mins max dont over do it.
Yes. The only reason you shouldn't take a tub bath is if your doctor or midwife tells you not to or if your water breaks.
im pretty sure u can, i mean why not??? r u scared the soap of the bubbles may harm u in any way??? lol i dont think so
I did when I was pregnant I just found it hard to stand up if I soaked too long.
Bubble bath is fine as long as the water is warm and not hot. Also i heard something like you should only stay in the bath for no more than 10 minutes, not sure if that's true but i never listen to that. Just make sure the water is a good temp. The bath will totally relax you and help with back pain.
yeah u can. U can just about do anything. There's no way the bath water can touch ur baby. There's some kind of wall closing that area when u become preg.. I can't remember what its called but yeah.
Yes but be careful
Yes. as long as your water has not broken yet you should be fine. After your water has broken then they say no baths to avoid water going up and causing infections.


Go get a book called '; what to expect when you are expecting'; by Heidi Murkoff. It's the pregnancy bible and will help with all these questions. I refer to it almost daily right now and I am due Feb 2, 2007. Your question as well as many others that you would not expect is in there. It's excellent in describing all of these little things that worry moms and help distinguish when something is ';normal'; or not.


Good Luck!
some say no, some say yes





you just have to be very careful because it can cause yeast infections, UTI's, ect. If you are prone to any of these then bubble baths should be avoided even if you arent pregnant. do not get the water above 100 degrees either.





i am 22 weeks and i take a good relaxing bubble bath at least weekly.
Yes as long as you are not bleeding or your water has broken. Just be careful not to sit to long, get the water too hot, and be sure to rinse with clean water afterwards. Pregnancy makes women even more prone to vaginal infections and if you read the side of the bubbles it says may cause vaginal infections if prolonged contact. So rinse good.
It should be fine if you don't use a lot of whatever it is. Just be sure you don't stay in too long. I did with my pregnancy.
';So, is a hot bath safer than using a hot tub?


A hot bath, which is not uncomfortable or scalding, is a safer way to relax. In a bath much of your upper body will remain out of the water, making you less likely to overheat. Additionally, the water in a bath begins to cool off, as opposed to a hot tub, further reducing any risk of overheating. ';
