Jacuzzi when pregnant

I'm off to Rhodes for my 21st birthday Saturday (13 weeks pregnant), I have managed to get a free upgrade due to an argument with the food and beverage manager last year however the upgrade includes a private jacuzzi... does anyone know if this is safe for me to use? And if so, is there anyway I can make it safer? I.e getting out after 5/10 mins. Would only be using it of a late evening anyway.

Also any other tips or advice about holidays when pregnant would be much appreciated.

I'm pretty sure you can't use a jacuzzi as the consistent temperature raises your body temperature which is bad for baby

I think it is just early pregnancy when it's a risk?

If it's private then hopefully you can control the temperature. Just turn it down to lower than body heat.

I did, and a sauna. Just didn't stay in them too long.

Spoke to my Dr she said that as long as water is clean and temperature isn't above 32 degrees I should be fine. Just about using common sense e.g don't go in it for hours, drink plenty of fluids, if you feel dizzy get out straight away.

Thanks everyone for your help!

Has anyone got any advice for holidaying in the heat when pregnant?

Just don't stay in it until you're far too hot, maybe keep your shoulders and arms out and have a glass of iced water next to you incase you feel too warm. Enjoy!

Re holiday your skin is more sensitive to the sun in pregnancy so wear a higher factor and just keep hydrated.
