Is it ok to have hot baths when pregnant?

I love my soaks but my mum was going on about how they were dangerous as are spas etc, is she mad?!

Thanks ladies

MW told me not to let my temp get over 37 degrees as bubs doesn't like being any hotter than that so I was told to avoid hot spa baths and hot baths

My MW told me the same as Stacey.
I still had tons of baths though, just made sure I didn't make them too hot.
You could buy one of those cute temperature ducks (for baby ) and chuck that in with you if you're unsure of what is 'safe'?

Yeah its not safe for baby to get hot as they can't cool themselves down. I've had hot baths since I was about 3-4 months pg, but never let myself get too hot.

I have to say I never knew this I've been having baths, but I don't think they are too hot... I can't survive without them at the moment.

I have been NEEDING baths throughout this pregnancy but I kept them a little cooler than normal...up unitl recently when I need the heat to relieve the sore pelvis from bubs head!!! But I have heard hot bath, hot curry, hot sex so at my stage I think it is ok. Bubs is very active during a bath and for a while after so I dont think he/she is too bothered.

I'd be more careful in early preg.

and the later in pregnancy you are the cooler they are cos baby gets very active
