My doctor told me as long as I keep the water under 100 degrees then it's fine...that's basically with baths though, since with a bath your submerged in the water. But i do the same with my showers.  I don't keep the hot water constantly hitting my belly.

I take a hot shower every night. When it comes to hot anything it all just has to do with  duration. You do not want to take an extra long hot shower. You just don't eant to increase you core body temperature because that's where the danger for baby can come in. But I tak anywhere from 10-20 minute hot shower. You'll know when you start getting too warm. If you don't know when you start getting too warm then just stick to warm showers. Either way a good warm/hot shower can be very good for the body and mind.
