Baths

So I keep over stressing about having baths as every time I look online it says you can only sit up right in the bath and should only stay in for 10 minutes, and the temperature should be like 38 degrees or something like that and I just wondered if anyone else followed this to a T or if some parts are more important than others etc, I know I can just shower but I am so exhausted atm standing in the shower and trying to shave etc is just draining.

I had so many baths as long as they aren't really hot and you don't start to feel light headed etc then you're fine I popped the window open just in case

Are you pregnant? If so I had baths in pregnancy not too hot and lay down for 5/10 mins and sat up more than ten mins. Take your time do what’s right for you x

How are you supposed to wash your hair if you can’t lie down in a bath 😂😂 if you don’t feel lightheaded then it’s alright crack a window open just to be on the safe side I normally take a bottled of ice water in with me too xxxx

I have baths and stay in there for 30-40 minutes Mabey more because it helps my body relax so much being 33 weeks I’m constantly exhausted, the only rule is u can’t have it to hot same with your showers but Iv never Hurd of the fact u can’t stay in there after 10 minutes? My baby seems a lot happier in my tummy when im in the bath , hope this helps♥️

I spent half my pregnancy in the bath! The only concern is hot water raising your blood pressure which can cause you to faint when you stand up. I always just took a bottle of water with me and would lay there for AGGEEESSS 😂

Honestly. I had hot baths .

I’ve been having hot baths but with the window open and drinking cold water. If I get to the point that I am sweating Ill put some cold water in lol x

Thankyou for all the advice! So glad I don’t need to be jumping out after 10 minutes 😂

If you stay in a hot bath until the point where it raises your internal body temperature, it can cause complications. In reality if you had a bath that hot, you’d probably feed uncomfortable and get out far before it got to that stage!

I had baths most days when I was pregnant and lay down for ages and baby was fine. X
