Why can’t pregnant women use a hot tub?

Q: Is it because of the heat? The reason why I ask is because my spa’s temperature is lower than most. Much cooler than my bath water, for sure. There’s not a themometer, but I’d say it’s about room temperature.I’m dying to get in, but of course I don’t want to do any harm to the baby. But if the only reason they advise you not to use it is because of the heat, I really don’t see how it could hurt anything…. being as cool as it is.

A: It won’t hurt a thing.I answered a question about hot baths the other day with the following, some of which might be of interest? A normal bath? Yes.Try taking your temperature before and during a bath if you’re concerned or curious. You’ll find it barely goes up, if it all, in a normal tub bath with normal hot water.Ignore the scare-mongering to the contrary.So far as I know, one ill-conducted study showed a slightly elevated risk of miscarriage among hot tub users.* Hot tubs, not people who wash their hair in the tub every morning. And an uncontrolled fever during pregnancy can have ill effects on the foetus. Out of that, we got saddled with “baths will kill ur babby!!!” hysteria. Groundless. Mindless.Note, too, that nobody outside of Yahoo! Answers crazies outright bans this stuff: “The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists suggest sauna use of no more than 15 minutes and hot tub use of no more than 10 minutes.” http://health.yahoo.com/ency/healthwise/tn9082*NB: “The findings don’t definitively link hot tub use to miscarriages. Instead, they only imply some sort of connection exists.” http://www.rhtubs.com/pregnancy.htm

Medically what happens when you stay in a Hot Tub too long?

Q: One of my roommates spent at least 2 hours in a hot tub tonight… he says he got out and in a couple of times but for the most part he was in like an hour and a half at least.He’s bitching about feeling hot and sick to his stomach, which is what I think you get when you do that. He says his doctor opens in 2 hours and he may even go in if he keeps feeling crappy.So my question is… what exactly happens if you’re in a hot tub too long?Assuming you’re not a kid, or an elderly person, or pregnant woman of course. Assuming healthy, young to middle age adult.How bad can it get? What are the signs? What are the USUAL effects? Stuff like that.Anyone know?ROTFLMAO trust me, seeing my doctor would do nothing since I assure you, this is not some veiled reference to me being the victim. I don’t do hottubs, the chlorine makes me itch.Then again, my roommate was in it w/ 3 girls, so he had more motivation then I usually have too!His dilemma just got me thinking though.Thanks Jessica!!!

A: You basically cook your organs when you’re in there. You can get heat exhaustion that will progress to heat stroke. Those are are symptoms of heat stroke. Your friend needs to stay cool (but not too cool), refuel himself with electrolytes (by drinking sports drinks), and keep himself hydrated. This stuff you learn when you’re training to be a lifeguard and you need to dig people out of a hot tub when they’ve been in there for too long…happened to me more than enough times.

Pregnancy (2nd trimester) and hot tub?!?

Q: I know this is a very common question, but I need to know! I am 22 weeks pregnant, going on vacation at the end of this week (so i’ll be 23 weeks by then) and getting married in Vegas- we got a timeshared room that has a hot tub in it and we’d really like to be able to take advantage of such a luxury! BUT..As i’m sure every pregnant woman has heard, we are told not to, generally..Does anyone know more about this? I’ve done some research on google, and all I can find that is dangerous about it is the elevation of your body temp, right? And everything I’ve read says mostly about 1st trimester risks, like miscarriage, etc..What about in the 2nd trimster, if you monitor how hot the water is? I’ve also heard that it can relax you so much that it could possibly trigger early labor, is that true also? What is everyone’s opinions and what have you heard about this? Please help so I can make a safe, informed decision! I’d really like to be able to go in even if just for 10-30 minutes, since it’s a rare opportunity! Thank you!Cronos- that’s not at all right & judgemental..I’m saying that i’ve done research and i’ve found and heard conflincting information!! If i were needing to reconsider being a parent, I wouldn’t even have done research or asked this question in the first place, would’ve just gone ahead and done it! Anyone who takes the time to ASK/do research obviously does care! As w/ anything, some people say things are ok during pregnancy & the other half say opposite! I know that there’s warnings against EVERYTHING during pregnancy, so i’m trying to find out if this is one of the reasonable ones or not- simple as that..Think before you judge!

A: Seriously? Ok, here’s what you’re saying… and read carefully…I’m Pregnant. I’ve read that hot tubs aren’t good for babies, but i really want to go in one. Should i put my wants over the health of my baby? If you decide to go in the hot tub, you should seriously consider what it means to be a parent….
