You can take baths until your water breaks.

You're allowed to take baths your whole pregnancy it helps relax you and gives your feet a break too.  I take them all the time. After your baby is born you're not allowed to take any baths for 6 weeks.

Just make sure the water isn't too hot and someone is home in case you need help getting up.

I am almost 17 weeks and I have been raking at least two a week since before I got pregnant. Relaxing, helps with stress and tension. Bubbles and good smells help :-)

My ob told me to take baths she said it helps relax your body. and is better on your body. You can't take a bath after you have the baby. It can cause infection.

Its also a great way to bond with your baby in the womb.
I found that certain scented bubble bath she would go nuts for, and she doesnt like when I cover my belly button with the little water jug so she kucks it off.

Enjoy this time its special :)

You can take baths. As long as the water isn't hot.
