Lush

As long as they don’t have certain essential oils in and I would also be careful as you are more prone to yeast infections during pregnancy and these are notorious for giving women them x

They’re considered safe to use, but as with all bath products they put you at a slightly higher risk of developing thrush etc. Personally I’ve avoided anything like this but I know plenty of women who have used such products throughout pregnancy and been fine x

Yeah defo would say be careful for thrush!

No I wouldn’t, just use water. My reasoning is that the vagina is always acidic, it has an acidic nature. Bath bombs’ main ingredient is bicarb soda which is the opposite of acidic- it’s alkaline, it’ll turn our vaginal flora and PH balance off- same as semen is alkaline and changes our PH levels as well. An Epsom salt blend (which is neutral) w a bit of (pregnancy safe) essential oil would be safer though.

I used them throughout with no issues. But I’m not sensitive to any of their ingredients/don’t have a history of thrush etc. I would say maybe try one and see how you go, pregnancy can make your body react in ways it didn’t before.

I used a lush bomb about 36 weeks pregnant but I sailed the lady in store for advice when I was purchasing and she advised which one to go got xx

Be careful of baths. Don’t make them too hot. You can lose the baby.

They are totally safe . Lush is one of the good ones I researched and trust..asked the nurse too and she said it’s fine . In fact told me it’d help me relax 😂

I used them throughout with no issues! I also had hot baths as it was the only thing that would help my pain, just made sure I didn’t soak for too long if I could feel myself getting hot or dizzy ☺️

@Justice crikey! Way to scare her! The only reasons to avoid hot bath are to do with increasing your body temperature and fainting etc 'losing' the baby wouldn't happen. Yes there's is an increase of abnormalities that 'could' happen

@Rachel thank you! I was about to go the next 8 months without bathing 😂

@Mia just don't make it too hot that's all! Honestly some people love to scaremonger. Please look at the NHS website for further info but it's super rare for abnormalities to occur due to rise in body temperature but they do list it as a concern as it 'could' happen

I wouldn’t because strong scents are usually an indication of phthalates which are endocrine disruptors and can affect the development of your baby. And lush products are some of the most strongly scented products I’ve ever come across so I’m assuming they have phthalates but you could always try looking it up

@Rachel you can shower but super hot baths are a no go. The super hot water can increase your risk for miscarriage. My husband’s friend lost her baby due to a hot tub. But thanks for saying her baby didn’t really die.

@Justice no one is saying have a scalding hot bath anyway, the poster asked if you can have baths - which has a simple answer - yes. I’m sorry for your husband’s friends loss.

I used Lush while pregnant and it gave me thrush :/ but everyone is different so it might not cause you any issues x

Previous Lush employee here! They contain essential oils, some essential oils can bring on labour, so just check which oils are in the ones you want to use! If in doubt, ask in store. Don’t worry too much about thrush, that’s only a concern if you’re fully spreading your legs and internally washing your vagina with the bath bomb water, which you shouldn’t do with any bath product anyway. If you’re just soaking in the bath, then just rinse your vulva with plain water after, you should be fine.

Totally dependent on how sensitive you are! I managed and looked forward to a weekly bathbomb bath as one of my little pleasures in pregnancy. But I know some who suffer so badly with thrush!
