Hot Springs yay or nay?
Hey ladies I have a quick question I am currently on vacation and tomorrow we were thinking to do a tour where we will see the hot springs... The coldest is 93 and hottest is 105 so I know there is a certain temperature hat you can go in. I am currently 9 weeks . Yay or Nay?

Re: Hot Springs yay or nay?
i would be safe and say nay
according to this article, you dont want your core temperature above 102 and just 10 minutes in 105 degree water can raise your temperature to 102. I would sit and dip my feet in or maybe stand in it for a few minutes but not more than 5 mins at a time just to be safe.

edit - hot springs/tubs and hot baths are different...the water doesnt cool off, the hot water just circulates

Personally I would say yay! I take hot baths all the time I just make sure to drink a lot of super cold water while I'm in the tub and a minimize the time I spend in it!

Re: Hot Springs yay or nay?
IF you choose to go in, you can literally only dip yourself in. You shouldn't stay in long enough to increase your core body temperature since that can endanger the baby.
At 9w, I would definitely stay out entirely. You're still in the first trimester, which is when you want to be the most cautious.

You can do a dip or put your feet in, you aren't supposed to take baths so i don't think a hot spring is a good idea either IMHO. The reason is that it can elevate your body temp and it can cause harm to the baby...especially so early on.
