I'm really really missing out on a nice hot bubble bath 😩 obviously i can't have a 'hot' one but has anyone ever had a bath whilst in their 2WW? Im 9dp3dt, OTD is on saturday.. Especially with this snow, i need to warm my bones and moisturise my skin xx

Have a nice warm shower. I was told no baths for the entirety of the 2WW and just don’t think it’s worth the risk.

Hi Hun. Sadly I was told the same thing to not have a bath at all during the 2ww.

I’m also really missing my bath, especially when DH has one all the time 😩

Have a nice warm shower, not too hot though.

It’ll be worth the wait in the end honey🤞 also, if you’re getting really cold feet, why not give them a nice soak in lovely warm bowl of water?

Hi Laureu. Yes, I agree with the others - nice warm shower, and warm PJ's. Good luck! Diane

I was also told no bath. And no bath whilst taking pessaries so if you’re on them then you might not be able to have a bath for a while.

I accidentally had a bath on my 2ww and then read after that you shouldn’t. I’m now 6+4wks and still desperate for a bath! No hot water bottles either, just layer up and get into bed. Also I was told to always keep my feet warm! Xx

You’re not meant to because of the risk of infection after egg collection, if you’ve had a fet you should be ok.

I had a fet and was told not to bsth in tww. Can take warm but not hot baths after but not if they raise body temp too high.

Hi, I think it’s best to avoid the bath to be on the safe side. Have a nice warm shower with fancy shower gel and body lotion afterwards x
