I know saunas, jacuzzis and hot baths are a huge no-no and are totally off limits during pregnancy. that said: can i take hot showers still during pregnancy?

Hot, not steamy : Your caution and question is wonderful and caring. It is okay to take warm baths and hot showers while pregnant but best to avoid long steamy showers that raise body temperature.
