its the same as a spa. if the water is too hot it will cook the baby. a little warmer the luke warm is okay. but i wouldnt go over board with it.

No, it is not recommended. I am not going to explain here what is a period and how come the blood comes out (broken blood vessels), which means that there is a possibility that you can get blood infection from infected water. The same comes to bath and pregnancy: you can get infection into your inner genitals and end up with fetus infected, etc. Showers, showers, showers, ladies..

you are a practicing doctor. You should know the answer yourself...\nGet your baby born first. Then, think of exercise.\nyour question doesnt relate to your explaination. Idont know which to answer. Does your pregnancy has something to do with "how long what kaind of sudies you have to do"?

dont use shitty magical products that irritate skin. simply in its purest form its water. dont use soap in the bath or shower your detergent or wash powder shouldnt be used in high doses and loose clothing for a couple of weeks. good diet not crappy food cos thats how it comes out when you sweat too think b4 u eat at macds!

your body temp. should stay pretty close to normal during pregnancy.

You should temp at the same time everyday, no matter what time you get up.  When I was getting pregnant, I set my alarm for 5 am everyday. I would turn off the alarm, take my temp, then go back to sleep until my "real" alarm went off.  Check out fertilityfriend.com  It's free and it helps a lot!  Good luck!

Babies have a delicate balance they need to maintain. A sauna would raise their temputure too much, and could be deadly. Do not put them in hot tubs either.

Take a sponge bath, wetting and drying a small part of your body as you go.  Use warm water if you have it.  Wear warm clothes on parts not being washed.

The best way is to have someone massage them out for you.  A warm shower works well, or a nice soak in a hot tub.

I've never heard of that!!! I knew the thing about not getting into a hot tub if you were so far along (I got in one during the first 3 months because I was so stiff and sore all the time but the further the preg. went I just grinned and bared it) But I had not ever heard not to use the massage pads. That truly makes no sense! They have special massages out there for preg women . \nWho told you not to use the pad? Was it your doc...if so tell him you'd like to know more of why...if it was just a friend then I would call and ask my ob/gyn.

Swimming is an excellent exercise for pregnant women, especially since it is low impact.  Just check with your doctor first.

No!  I just had a baby and it is bad for you.  Her body will clean her out naturally.

Hot baths with aromatherapy soap/liquid(or something like that) and comfortable place to sleep soundly(no snoring though). :)

Very hot water helps relax sore muscles and helps circulaton so they can recover faster. Although massage is even better.

I would not try anything different without consulting your doctor first. There are many effects that may arise when your body is already changing due to pregnancy so you need to be so careful and cautious.

Unless your baby comes into contact with your genital area, you aren't going to pass it on to your baby.\n\nWashing your hands will help if you have touched your genital area and then are going to touch the baby.  Other than that, no need to wash your hands (other than colds, flus, basic hygiene, etc.).  And no worries with clothing.\n\nThere is some thought that maybe damp towels that YOU have used on your genital area MIGHT spread it, but its not been proven in a lab.\n\nCheck out the handbook I have listed as a source.  And there are really good articles and forums at the second source.
