My dr told me to keep it under 100 degrees. Avoid saunas and hot tubs cause those are normally higher then 100... but to keep my bath water under 100...they sell these sticky temperature strips that are ment for your bath tub. They are maybe $2 at the stores... you can buy one place it in your tub and  that will tell you the temperature of your water...it's also good when the baby gets here so you know how hot the water is when giving baby a bath. It's a good investment.  I recommend getting one.  I had one awhile back, i will be getting another soon... my child now is 12yrs old, I'm pregnant with my second. But i don't take baths so i didn't need to get another just yet. But if you enjoy baths, i recommend getting one.

I think showers are relatively ok because you aren't submerged but you shouldn't take hot baths when pregnant. It raises your blood pressure which is obviously bad for baby but if your whole body is under water, including bump, it can be dangerous as baby gets overheated and they can't cool down

According to my doctor, The water temperature should be less than 100 degree Fahrenheit. But as long as it's not over that you should be fine. You might want to ask your doctor

Hot baths can make you really sick. You shouldnt rise your baby temp a warm bath is fine but i was in the same boat as you an took a really hot bath an was sick for three days idk what it can do to your baby but i told my dr what i did an what happened after an she said not to do it again also i was like 20 something weeks so idk if it matters how far or not you should just ask your dr
