Baths and bath bombs in pregnancy

This might seem like a strange question but I've read conflicting information online.
I'm 5 weeks pregnant and having cramps.
Can I have a hot bath and use a bath bomb?
Anyone ever had any issues

I think you can do both but the bath bombs can irritate you a bit and can cause UTI’s , and as long as your bath isn’t like a hot tub you’ll be fine . It’s more sitting in red hot temperatures that they don’t recommend due to overheating from what my GP told me x

As long as the bath isnt too hot you'll be fine. I remember being anxious about this too. Ive had baths all through this pregnancy and im 29 weeks now.

Ive actually only just started to stop having them, but thats only because I cant get up very easily and im scared of slipping and not being about to get myself up.

I love a good bath, I spend hours in them in the evening, I also use bath bombs constantly. I spoke to lush about bath bombs and they advised to stay away from the 'sex bomb' bath bomb but that was it, all others are fine.
