I need a bath!

Taking a bath is one of the main luxuries of pregnancy, but indulging can come with some risks. Some people insist that baths can be a vector for infection, or might trigger premature labor. This is more of a danger if you’re using a public bath where you’re sharing the water with a number of other people, especially if that water isn’t being regularly filtered and sterilized, but only heated by pouring in buckets of boiling water. If you’re careful and you follow a few guidelines, however, you can enjoy your bath without fear.
