I'm 5+4 and a teensy bit paranoid! Lastnight I decided to stay in and watch some trash TV with a nice alcohol-free beer (I recommend Erdinger Blue, if anyone's interested) in a nice hot bubble bath.
So, ran my bath, it was way too hot so I put some cold water in and then gently lowered myself in.
After about 15 minutes I was really starting to overheat and then realised with horror that I'm not supposed to sauna when pregnant because of overheating, and what if it's the same for baths- so I looked it up and sure enough apparently a hot bath can cause birth defects and miscarriage, especially in early pregnancy.
I'm sure as it was just one and I got out as soon as I read that and had a cool shower it'll be ok but I'm just looking for reassurance...have I boiled my baby??
