While you are pregnant, you do need to be careful about using spas or hot tubs. While you are pregnant, there are always risks of harming your babyif you over extend you time in a hot tub.

As a rule of thumb however, you should never enter a hot tub during your first trimester. After your first trimester is over however, you should be able to use a hot tub quite safely.

While the risk of hurting your baby via hot tub is minimal at this stage, you should still take some precautions.

When using a hot tub during pregnancy, you should make sure that the water is not too hot. This may sound funny because the very name of it is a hot tub, but you should never over heat your baby. This is much easier if you have a private hot tub.

The hot tubs that are found in swimming pools always tend to be over heated. So if you have a hot tub at your house, lower the temperature a few hours prior to getting in. This can still be relaxing and enjoyable without being scorching hot.

Many pregnant women use hot tubs in this fashion because they are still getting the benefits of the jets massagingtheir legs and back, but instead of being in hot water, they are being refreshed by cooler water.

You will also want to make sure that the water is extremely clean before you enter it. Any types of bacteria or virus's in the water could cause infections and that is something you do not want to have to be dealing with duringpregnancy.

Some people might say that it is fine to use a hot tub during at time ofpregnancy and at any temperature. This is not information you want to be following however. You should always make sure the water temperature is cool; anywhere under 100*F.

You should also not use a hot tub in your first trimester, and always make sure the water is very clean. If you're hot tub is not chlorinated, you should not enter it with anyone who is infected with any type of transferable illness.

Now you can be a confident expert on Can I Use a Hot Tub While Pregnant?. OK, maybe not an expert. But you should have something to bring to the table next time you join a discussion on Can I Use a Hot Tub While Pregnant?.
