Go ahead....take a bath....but you'll not be able to take a nice hot one.

thats what i was thinkin too but i wanted to just see what other women thought on takin abath this far along... .. thank you i sooo need one.. ahah

I take baths too I'm due dec.15 I've no affect on the baby just dry skin after hot bath, because of cold air and going out 20 mins after hot bath.  

Take a bath!! I labored and delivered all three of my kids in the water , my third with my water leaking so unless you have reason to fear infection ( like really dirty tub, or you live with allot of people) then there's no reason to not take one.

You are not supposed to take a hot bath when pregnant.

You'll over heat the baby

I took hot bathhs all pregnancies. Err.. maybe they're a little dumb. Must have been the hot baths I took.

Actually they now tell you to enjoy that bath as when you get further along the baby is able to regulate their own body temperature inside!   I enjoy hot baths and am now 39 weeks.... Hell I plan to labor in the tub and I don't plan on being cold!

With my first I took hot baths mainly because of PGP, never did any damage, just always make sure some one else is around. Heck Even when I was in labour I was in and out of the bath at the hospital, and they were hot-ish. So I supose it's each to their own x

Ive taken hot baths nightly for the last week. The water isn't on my stomach and I bring a bottle of water to drink. As long as you pay attn to your body (get out if nauseated or light headed) you should be fine. The water cools down quick unlike a hot tub
