Should I use thermal spa pools?

[noodleysoup]

I'm going to Bath for a few days and would love to try the thermal spa pools. Am I supposed to avoid spa pools when pregnant? I know jacuzzis + steam rooms are to be avoided but am not sure if the pools would be considered too hot as well - The Spa website states the spa pools are at 33.5 C (92F). Any advice appreciated! I'll be 29 weeks if that makes a diffence.

personally i would, i went in a jacuzzi today at my gym (36 weeks)- it wasn't any hotter than a bath i'd sit in, its chlorinated so not any more "dirty" than the baby pool DD and DS swim in (lots of babies weeing!) and i didn't sit on any jets of water.

however lots of other people will come here and tell you that its not safe - you need to make your own decision - 33.5C doesn't sound so hot.

I went to the bath spa's last week and i phoned to check it was ok and they said it was fine to use when pregnant and just to not use the sauna's.

FYI you are only advised to avoid water hotter than body temp so above 37.5 degrees xx
