Hot showers and baby: Pl rest assured there is no evidence in the medical literature that taking hot showers damages unborn baby's brain development. Using alcohol, smoking, intoxication with other drugs, medical complications or asphyxiation during pregnancy are more likely to cause adverse affects on the unborn's brain development. Pl the faucet temp down a bit to enjoy your showers!!
