Oops! You missed this one.


It's fine to take a bath during pregnancy -- just avoid getting overheated. You can even use a hot tub, say doctors, as long as you don't stay in for more than 10 minutes. Try to keep your arms and upper torso out of the water to keep your body temperature down, and get out if you begin to feel uncomfortable.

You are correct!
