It's absolutely fine, you've just got to be mindful that it isn't too hot ☺️

I do but if they are too hot i get really dizzy so making them a bit colder than before

Do you stay in for less time?

@Jenna sometimes yes :), i did have an hours one this week, which i dont know if its recommended or not x

When I was pregnant with my first, a midwife told me that the risks with baths are germs travelling up rather than anything to do with heat. Obviously you don't want to get too dizzy if you're having a hot bath, so keep hydrated while in the bath and take care when coming out.

It shouldn't be more than 38° and don't stay in for too long. There is risk of UTI.

It’s absolutely fine just need to watch the temperature x

Thank you so much! ❤️

They say warm and only for 10min is best! No bubbles etc

@Charlotte I’ve never heard not to have bubbles or only 10 minutes, what’s the point in a 10 minute bath 🥴x
