hot showers....

Is it just me when I get in the shower and if it is too hot it makes me sick.. any one know why? Or does it happens to anyone else? I just can't help making it hot because it feels like its not hot enough till I get nauseous. Hmmmmn

I've always took hot showers!im 30w3d and they just make me feel so relaxed and calm.you can't really raise your temp with a shower bc your not submerged as of you were in a tub,that's why they say hot baths aren't good.but I specifically asked my doc and a close friend of mine that has been a midwife for years and they both gave me the okay to take hot showers just as long as its not like burning your skin..but if they make you feel sick maybe you should turn it on a little cooler and see if it helps or talk to your doc about why they make you feel that way.

DONT HAVE HOT SHOWERS OR BATHS! It raises your blood pressure, and you feeling sick doing so is your body reminding you that that is a HUGE no-no. Raised blood pressure is bad for baby. Get used to having warm showers.
