I went to Waiwera when pregnant with my first. Mw said it was fine - just don't spend too long in it for fear of overheating. I made sure I kept my wrists under the water to properly guage my body temp and got out as soon as I started to heat up - but I thoroughly enjoyed the time and baby was fine.

Enjoy!]]> Sat, 10 May 2008 20:58:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17072&PID=380043&title=hot-pools#380043 <![CDATA[Hot Pools : Ohhh yeah thats right, miranda...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17072&PID=380009&title=hot-pools#380009 Author: Shezamumof3

The main pool is lovely, just nice and warm. Theres little pools to the side which are WAY hotter. When I used to go with my aunty, she'd go in the hydroslide pool which was nice and deep (the one thats just by where you go up the stairs) and has a fountain - was really soothing for her.
You'll love it there :D I'd stay away from the indoor pools tho, they get real smelly and hot. Oh and wear jandals when you're not in the pool - they have textured tiles that are REAL uncomfy on the feet.]]> Sat, 10 May 2008 20:14:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17072&PID=379989&title=hot-pools#379989 <![CDATA[Hot Pools : Im definitly going Its for my...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17072&PID=379945&title=hot-pools#379945 Author: Shezamumof3

I didn't think Waiwera Hot Pools posed a problem putting your head under the water....

I remember when I was in labour with my 2nd...and we went to the hot pools which was about 30-40 mins from the hospital! God knows what was going through my head lol. But I think it definately helped with my labour...went home, watched a movie, went to hosp and she popped out an hour later!

Have fun on Sunday! I'm sure you'll be fine!]]> Fri, 09 May 2008 19:00:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17072&PID=379308&title=hot-pools#379308 <![CDATA[Hot Pools : I still have hot baths, I&#039;m...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17072&PID=379306&title=hot-pools#379306 Author: Maya

I still have hot baths, I'm just not prepared to give them up - on the days when I feel really crappy a hot bath really helps.

And I'd say yep, hot pools are fine, I went to Palm Springs when I was preg with Maya and just didn't put my head under, just like everyone else said use your judgement if you feel too hot.]]> Fri, 09 May 2008 18:59:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17072&PID=379306&title=hot-pools#379306 <![CDATA[Hot Pools : oh i heard its totally fine in...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17072&PID=379294&title=hot-pools#379294 Author: ElfsMum

I read somewhere that the best way to tell when it was too hot was when you started sweating - cos then it is increasing your body temp... was a good indication for me...

I have HOT showers, but i'm never in there long enough to worry.

but they are pretty well insulated so their temps stay pretty constant unless it is extreme.

I LIVED in the bath so I think hot (just not super duper hot) will be fine.

We are going to Waiwera Hot Pools for Mothers Day on Sunday and I thought Id better check and see if its safe for me to swim in them?? Im not sure what the deal is with swimming in hot pools. I know I wont be allowed in the super hot one, but the normal one should be fine right?

Oh and all Mothers get in free on Mothers Day I wonder if they will let me in for free lol seems as im just about to become one!
