At the end of the day I find it very relaxing to take a bath. I have read to be careful of hot tubs. Well my bathtub is certainly not a Jacuzzi. I keep the water on the luke warm side. I just can’t tell if warm is too hot or if I am just being paranoid. Anyone have any ideas?

I have read that if you stay in the tub no longer than 10 minutes it does not give your body enough time to raise your temperature too high.

Baths are certainly okay to take especially if the water is luke warm. Avoid getting uncomfortably hot. Extreme temperatures (most experts say over 102 degrees F) aren't safe during pregnancy.
