Can i take a super hot bath while pregnant?

So im sick, and all I want to do is take a super hot bath till I feel better. Im also almost 13 weeks pregnant and I know you're not supposed to go in the hot tub and stuff, but this sickness is kicking my ass and I know I'd feel at least a little better with a super hot bath (it always does) what should I do? Is there a way to still take a super hot bath without putting my baby at any kind of risk? Any advice or ideas are welcome, im miserable and desperate. Please help me 😭😭😭

No no

Shower but not a bath. Think of hot soup

You can take a moderately "hot' bath; you just don't want it raising your body temperature.. keep your bath water 100° or cooler, use a bath thermometer 🫂

I kinda figured, its why I haven't done it yet.. really wish I could tho. Or even like just my legs in the hot water and not my stomach or something, but its probably just gotta be luke warm bath or nothing..😕

I took a hot bath pregnant but did not stay in there for more than 10 minutes.

I do all the time tbh, the hot water isn’t going to hurt baby, it’s mainly a precaution to keep you from over heating. I always take an ice water with me and cap the bath to like 15-20. Mins. Did it with my first baby too and everything is all good over here 😌

No but its what i did once i was ready for bath after giving birth 🤣🤣 i loveere hot baths myself though even in general they dry your skin etc if i am not wrong and we shouldnt be doing it but yeah

I did it all the time pregnant with my first and no complications later in pregnancy, labor, and with her she’s a happy healthy 1 year old! I did make sure I didn’t stay in there longer then 25 mins and I brought my refillable water bottle with cool water

Not a hot one but you can take a bath, I take one everyday just make sure the water isn’t hot enough to make your skin red and you drink lots of water while your in. You will be fine

I have restless legs and it is crazy while I’m pregnant. I would not have survived any of my pregnancies if I didn’t have a hotish bath daily. It always happens at night when I’m trying to fall asleep or when I’m sitting down trying to relax it was never too too too hot, but I always had a bath every night.

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?
