Is it safe to use a sauna or hot tub in pregnancy?

Better to skip the saunas and hot tubs completely until your doctor says it's okay after you've delivered. I go to saunas quite often in the winter and there's always a precautionary sign that warns pregnant woman about overheating. There are ways to reduce the dangers of sauna and hot tub overheating like lowering the temperature but this is only possible if you have your own personal equipment. It's very rare that you can adjust the temperature for a publicly used sauna or hot tub. For now, stick to a warm bath — as most of your upper body remains out of the water in the tub, you’re a lot less likely to overheat. You can add some bubbles and a scented candle to make it more relaxing.
