A member asked:

Can hot showers increase core body temperature during pregnancy? they're my only relief when my back is sore. i let stream fall on my back not tummy.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not significantly: While hot tubs and baths with total immersion can increase core temperature, it would be very hard to do with a shower. If the heat is also just localized to your back, then this is probably okay. The issue of increased core temperature is mainly an issue during the first trimester.
