Question:

Is it safe when pregnant to have a really hot bath?

I'm not pregnant, just ttc, but I don't think I'll be able to give up my uber-hot baths (unless it's bad for the baby of course.) I know hot-tubs are sonsidered a no-no- what about a hot shower? And how hot is too hot anyway? What about heating pads/blankets??)

Answer:

tooth paste, hydrogen peroxide
My mom works with jewelryWindex or Glass PlusThey really make things sparkleJust spray on your jewelry wipe clean and dry with a lint free cloth.
I use a soft bristled toothbrush to avoid scratching and a little toothpasteAnd my jewelry shinesIt cleans them wellanother idea is baking soda with a little water to make it like a paste and brush it onto the jewelry that works also.
A bath that is near to hot tub temperature is not okay, especially if it's going to be leisurely bathThe reason is that it raises yours and the baby's body temperatures - and the baby doesn't have a way to cool itself down like you do so it can be very dangerousI would recommend sticking to just warm bathsAs for the shower, it's not really the same thing because your body temperature doesn't go up as fast in the shower and you aren't in the shower for as long as you are in the bath (generally) anywayBut, still, might want to stay away from extremely high temperaturesHeating pads and blankets are definitely okay when not used directly on the abdomenIf you are going to put a heading pad on your abdomen, keep it at its lowest setting and don't leave it very longYou are worried about raising the baby's body temperature, but that won't happen like as soon as you place the heating pad on you, espat a low temperature.
