Bathing in early pregnancy?

[ICSIBaby86]

Does anyone know if it’s ok to bath in early pregnancy. I was told not to bath over the tww? But is it ok for me to now ? As long as it’s not boiling hot. Or should I wait for my 7 weeks scan x

I would personally wait until after your viability scan, just incase as you wouldn’t want to risk having any regrets if it didn’t go to plan.. Congratulations on your BFP xxx

My clinic said not to bath before your viability scan if you’ve had previous miscarriages. Personally I’d just wait until after your scan x

Hi ICSIBaby. As a general rule, having a bath is a no no until first scan. However, I feel it would be OK for a warm bath, but just a quick one. Not long until scan day. Good luck! Diane
