Hello,

Me again, anyone that has seen my previous posts will know I’m a bit of a panic person!

Oh and thank you to everyone that had answers any of my posts I appreciate it!

I’m 10 weeks pregnant, can I have a bath now? I’m scared if infection & causing a miscarriage.

I know I sound silly but I don’t feel comfortable asking the midwife incase this is just a silly question.

Thanks in advance x

And I thought a 3 year wait and IVF was hard! You’ll love it, the first few weeks are hard but wait until they start smiling and ‘chatting’ by 3 months, going longer between night feeds (you feel more human again) and you wake up to that smile 😍 x

Enjoy your baths. I'm 21 weeks and that big I struggle to get out of it without looking like a washed up whale x

I usually hate having baths but have started now because showers make me physically sick (i suffered with 1st trimester sickness and I think because they’re powerful and really raise my heart rate atm).

I would suggest more women in history have bathed over showered as showering is a relatively new thing!

You should give yourself more credit and trust your instincts on some things. You’re keeping your baby really lovely and safe. You’ll know what’s best for your body to give your baby the best home you can whilst your carry them.
