Bath question for late pregnancy

Hi, I am about 32 weeks now with twins. I tried taking a bath today. I am sure the water was hotter than my body temp. But then again I did not measure it. I felt weak and dozy all afternoon and a bit flushed. Is this anything to worry about? I totally forgot that hot baths are a no-no. I am also sure I stayed longer than 10 mins. A bit worried now. Guess I should be calling my MW or doc...Any body had a similar experience?

I found even not-so-hot baths used to make me feel like this, so I don't think you need to worry, but phone your MW just in case - that's partly what she's there for, to relieve your worries.

I used to feel the same way, so I used to have a bath just before bed, that way it would help me sleep until the 8-limbed kicking started up anyhow!

Your post bought back memories - the exactly same thing happened to me. I stopped having baths in the end, if I stayed in any longer than 5 mins I was so woozy that I couldn't get out!

I just remember not being able to get out because of being too big!
