Please answer my bath related query!

[Mandymoo]

22 wks pregnant, have constant UTI's, been told by GP not to use bubble bath but I AM DESPERATE FOR A RELAXING BATH - the shower just doesnt cut it sometimes!

Are there any "safe" alternatives?

How about putting nothing in the water but having some scented candles around to relax you?

hadnt thought of that Zephyr! My skin just gets really dry though and bubbles are soooooooooooooo nice!!!! And they also hide my wobbly bits iykwim!

Will give it a go though!

4 drops of pure lavender oil and mandarin oil or neroli oil. these 3 oils are fine after 3mths.

or Jason shower gel/bath foam...no irritating ingredients. from health shop only, i think. great for baby too (when born!). the lavender one is really relaxing, and the rose is nice too.

Thanks Gloworm - will definitely pay a visit to the health shop!

Definitely just use oils. Almond oil maybe with a few drops of lavender.

Unfortunately I think you will have to forgo the actual bubbles - anyway you're pregnant you're allowed to have wobbly bits!

Baby oil is fab in the bath for dry skin. Doesn't hide the wobbly bits mind you...

what about a kids sensitive skin bubble bath, such as the e45 or infaderm range?

Try apple cider vinegar in the bath its relaxing and detoxing and great for your skin, among loads of other good things- even dissolves excess fatty deposits under the skin
