It's no problem. Just have warm water and dont use those bath bombs or radox muscle soak things. thats what I was told when i was pregnant. My little boy will be 4 in October... time flies!

yeah definatly you will need them to relax you, just make sure you dont use lavender oil, you're not supposed to when you are pregnant, dont know why

was told the same, once the bath is not too hot, it's fine, i think back in our grandmothers time they were told not to have baths as it could start labour

I'm not sure about this but I overheard an instructor in the gym I go to telling a pregnant woman not to get into the jacuzzi as the heat and the pressure from the jets can raise your blood pressure too much. It's worth checking it out with your doctor just to be sure.

not really sure but usually it states on jacuzzis in hotels etc that pregnant women should not use them!!
