If your pregnant does hot showers harm the baby? can they feel the hot water?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Safe: That is not harmful. They can't feel the hot water. Just be careful you do not get overheated and lightheaded in the shower (risk for a fall).

See below: Hot showers are ok, hot baths should be avoided because they can raise body temperature.
