are you allowed to take baths when being pregnant because I've talked to my doctor and she had said no due to there could be a mis carriage due to the water.

That is 100% false! Get a new dr who actually knows what they are doing! Baths are recommended thru pregnancy to help relieve pain expecaly later in pregnancy and are even used during labour. As long as the water is not to hot ( if you want a hot bath get in it while its cool and warm it up around you the sudden change in temp is more dangerous then it being hot as you'r body regulates the temp around your baby ) get a floating thermometer for your bath and enjoy

They worry about hot baths because it can raise your temperature which is dangerous to the baby, but as long as the water isn't too hot you'll be fine.
