Steam Room Before I Knew I Was Pregnant

I also like to do hot yoga.

Steam room before i knew i was pregnant. If the hot air steam goes above the 102 2 f mark this will spell disaster for both the mother and the baby. Feel sick to my stomach with what i ve been reading. Hey hun i was worried before hand but was told by mw as long as i didn t over so it steam room wise then it was fine jacuzzi s are a big no no however due to the pressure they can put on your body also same for whirlpool baths when i went we had a whole day in the spa i went in both steam rooms and sauna just made sure if i started to. Both encourage you to sit in a small heated room and both claim.

I am a health reporter so the implications struck me immediately. 1 steam rooms can cause birth defects. A pregnant woman risks her baby s health as well as her own by taking steam according to the march of dimes which warns against any spa treatments that raise body temperature from hot tubs saunas and steam rooms to mud baths and hot wax and seaweed wraps. You ve probably seen steam rooms before at your gym or inside a spa.

I don t really like them all that much so got out when was too hot. You may want to avoid situations where you could get too hot such as sitting in a jacuzzi or steam room. Lots of sweating it out in the sauna steam and jacuuzi. Our body has a core temperature limit.

I didn t say anything to her as firstly i wasn t sure myself if it s a bad thing for pregnant women to use a steam room though i suspect it is and secondly i didn t want to get told to mind my own business. Please don t worry i did the same before i knew i was pregnant i am now 21 weeks and all seems fine. Steam rooms are similar to saunas. If you re exercising in water such as at an antenatal class the temperature of the water should not be above 32c.

Hi i was in the steam room at my gym and a heavily pregnant lady came in and sat down. In fact i got horrendously drunk on the saturday night and then had a spa day on the sunday morning with a hangover. Then i remembered the booze. I just found out that i m pregnant.

When you re pregnant the hormonal changes in your body can make you feel faint more often. I was in sauna steam room probably 2x each for 5 10mins at most. I ve heard that hot tubs aren t good during pregnancy but what about steam rooms and saunas. I didn t research sauna steam room use before going i thought it was just a wee myth or something.
