Would you go to a spa (especially sauna) if you’ve been trying for a baby but don’t know yet if you’ve conceived? More in comments.

It’s going to be my friend’s birthday and she’s having it at a spa and I really want to go because since being pregnant with my first baby, I have barely gotten to go anywhere until just recently and I miss my friends. And thinking about being pregnant again means I’ll be facing more restrictions for a long time to come. But I know that hot saunas are not okay if you are pregnant.

I will say go have fun because this might be the last time you do before you get pregnant. However, I will take a test before going to make sure.

If you’re actively trying, no. Even if you don’t know, the high temperature can cause the neural tubes to not close in the first trimester.

If you’re actively trying but you don’t know yet it’s probably safe to go. You could also call your OB and ask their advice!

Yes i would

Personally I would go..if you’ve colored hair haven’t tested positive then it’s highly unlikely for anything negative to happen. It’s not like you’re going to be in there for 8+ hrs

I went in a sauna wen I was pregnant woman said it was fine but wasn’t meant to go in the hot tub because the heat although I was only like 16weeks

I was going to the sauna once a week for the first three weeks of pregnancy, only stopped when I found out. I didn’t have any complications

As someone who put their entire lives on hold for nearly 10 years whilst ttc because they didn’t want to risk anything… just live your life and don’t miss out on anything over a “what if”.
I missed out so much because I didn’t want to risk anything or question if that’s the reason why it didn’t happen this month 🤦🏻♀️
Enjoy yourself!

oh wow 😮
