Question 1

is it safe to get a mud bath while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Enjoy a spa day! the only concern about overheating is if you are in something that maintains a constant, elevated temp such as a hot tub. A bath that begins warm and then cools is safe.

Question 2

is it safe to get hot brazillian wax during early pregnancy? as we are advised not to use hot baths & spas, is hot wax safe?specially for brazillian?

Accepted Answer

Wax pregnancy : Yes, go nuts!!  You're not going to submerge or increase your core body temp so wax away!!!

Question 3

are mud baths safe for pregnant women?

Accepted Answer

Recommend against it: It can lead to increased body temperature & dehydration. My bigger concern is free radical release during detoxification with mud.

Question 4

can you get pregnant having a bath with your partner, even if he's not doing anything ?

Accepted Answer

No: The only way to get pregnant is by sperm entering your vagina and swimming up the cervix to fertilize an egg near the time you ovulate. If your partner ejaculated sperm into the bath water there is a tiny chance sperm could swim and into your vagina, but if your partner does not ejaculate there is absolutely no chance of pregnancy.

Question 5

is it safe to use bath gels in pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Yes: External bath gels are fine in pregnancy, just don't use them as a bubble bath to reduce the risk of yeast infections.

Question 6

is it safe to take a hot bath while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Although some studies indicate a tiny risk of miscarriage if the mother's core body temperature rises above 102, common sense says that warm baths are safe in pregnancy, and are actually helpful in relaxing sore muscles and back pain.  Hot tubs, however, are not recommended in pregnancy.

Question 7

natural bath in magnesium salt safe during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

I don't see a problm: I can't see any evidence that  this material would leach into your body & bother baby. I wouldn't drink any unless you want to get the runs.

Question 8

can you get pregnant from sperm in bath water, without penetration?

Accepted Answer

No worries: Salmon swim upstream to the same area where they hatched. Sperm are so small that you can't even see one with a magnifying glass. In a bathtub, shower, or swimming pool, sperm are washed away by the water. They are not salmon and cannot swim upriver to migrate into a vagina for spawning. No worries!

Question 9

is it safe to put vinegar in your bath while pregnant to relieve itching?

Accepted Answer

Of course Mild Acid: Vinegar is a mild/weak solution of acetic acid. Acid suppresses the growth of a variety of fungus ; bacteria. Several species of bacteria commonly growing in vaginal secretions (called lactobacilli - for Lactic Acid production) produce acids which suppress fungal growth. Antibiotics  killing off these bacteria commonly leaves the territory open for fugal/yeast growth with resulting problems.
