Whirlpool bath while pregnant?

I took them frequently when pregnant with my second child. My OB was fine with it. Just don't take an extra hot extra long one.... Mine were usually about 10-15 minutes at normal bath temperature. I never used bubbles or anything though.

totally fine, it's hottubs that are a no-no due to raising your body temp.

It's fine, baths are awesome. I believe the issue with hot tubs is that multiple people use them (ior maybe it's that you're reusing the same hot water for a long time?) and you risk yeast or bacterial infections. Your own bath is fine, just don't boil yourself. there may be blood pressure issues as well if, like me, being pregnant makes your bp drop. But again, just don't boil yourself

When I was pg I asked my Dr about swimming in the hot springs in Calgary while we were on vacation and he wasn't overly concerned. I think they're heated to 37-38°C

The issue with hot tubs/baths is that you could become overheated which is not good for the baby. As long as you didn't get too warm, you'll both be fine.

We have a hot tub and I used while pregnant with both kids. My OB said that it was ok as long as I didn't stay in too long and as long as I monitored my body temperature.

ill never forget when I was 8 mos pg I turned on my jets and they were so loud that dd literally jumped inside my ute . it was pretty funny, but I didn't do it again that pg.

I've been taking hot baths multiple times a week. I just keep a thermometer near by and check my temperature throughout the time I'm in the tub. I wouldn't have survived these last 7 weeks without them.
