I just had a hot bath...now I’m worried!

[Orlandoflorida1]

I’m 5 weeks today and I just had a bath, it was hot (I like them really hot) but I did add some cold and didn’t have to ease myself in but equally it was still hot! No I’m worrying I’m going to cause a miscarriage. Anyone else done the same thing?

I've had hot baths all the way through all 4 of my pregnancies. Didnt know I shouldn't!

I too had hot baths through all my pregnancies, I didn't know it could cause miscarriages? I think for that the water would need to be really boiling hot to a dangerous level rather than normal bath warm.

I think the reason they tell you to avoid hot baths is to avoid dehydration mainly, when I had my second baby I used the pool for the majority of my labour (until I pushed) and they let me have it as hot as I wanted it as long as I kept drinking all the fluids they brought me to stop dehydration!

You'll be fine. Don't worry.

Don’t panic, just try not to have anything too hot from know on. The dangers of hot baths are raising temperatures which can cause birth defects and raises blood pressure. I don’t think it increases miscarriage risk.
It’s very unlikely you’d have caused any issues just try not to have too hot of a bath in future, same as they tell pregnant women to avoid hot tubs.

crikey all the things we did in the past & got wrong & still got away with it (mind my bp was in my boots all my pregnancy)

It’s fine dont worry

Thanks for the reassurance, think I sent myself into a panic from googling!
