right that's decided then *runs off to pack togs*

I did pop into a spa in Dunedin briefly and did the same thing, was in for 5 minutes and got out before I got hot. I've always understood it's mainly to do with spending too long in a spa/pool/bath and just not letting yourself over heat. And that spa was no hotter than I have a bath. ]]> Thu, 06 Jul 2006 10:36:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3047&PID=56922&title=water-temperatures#56922 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3047&PID=56920&title=water-temperatures#56920 Author: mrs frantic

I sat in a spa for quite a few hours at about 20 weeks, it was so nice and warm. I thought it would be fine as long as I listened to my body, and every now and again when I felt too hot I just stood up for a while, and everything seems fine with me...?!]]> Thu, 06 Jul 2006 10:29:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3047&PID=56920&title=water-temperatures#56920 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3047&PID=56904&title=water-temperatures#56904 Author: katie1

My midwife said it is ok to go in spas as long as they are clean. She said just to get out when you start to feel too hot.]]> Thu, 06 Jul 2006 10:03:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3047&PID=56904&title=water-temperatures#56904 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3047&PID=56857&title=water-temperatures#56857 Author: 11111

I went in spas but at someone's house when I was pregnant. I didn't keep my belly in the water all the time though, kept getting up and cooling off then sitting down again, like Janine said, to stop myself overheating ]]> Wed, 05 Jul 2006 22:34:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3047&PID=56856&title=water-temperatures#56856 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3047&PID=56810&title=water-temperatures#56810 Author: Paws

Well I know the "cold" pool there is thermal heated but is chlorinated not thermal...there is a middle one that is still under 38 degrees and that is thermal. I do also know that they drain and waterblast the pools every night and then refill so not sure if that makes a difference...]]> Wed, 05 Jul 2006 18:07:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3047&PID=56810&title=water-temperatures#56810 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3047&PID=56809&title=water-temperatures#56809 Author: Kellz

I dont know where i got the info,..but I thought spas were safe under 38 degrees.I hope so cos ive been going in my in-laws spa which is set at 37.5! Butthought that we're not supposed to go in thermal spas due to the increased bacteria risk, only chlorinated spas?]]> Wed, 05 Jul 2006 17:33:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3047&PID=56809&title=water-temperatures#56809 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3047&PID=56801&title=water-temperatures#56801 Author: jack_&_charli

Yeah I wouldn't jump into the hot ones but the idea of soaking in a cooler one is VERY appealing!!!

its to ensure that you do not overheat so best to stick to what they say is safe and make sure you have plenty of water with you so you don't cook.]]> Wed, 05 Jul 2006 16:45:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3047&PID=56786&title=water-temperatures#56786 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3047&PID=56785&title=water-temperatures#56785 Author: Paws

Hi all,

I know us preggies have to (or at least are meant to ) avoid spas during pregnancy but does anyone know what temperatures are ok to soak in?

Hubby and I are off for a pamper weekend in Taupo and apparently the hot springs have a cold pool (34C) which they recommend as safe for preggy ladies and they advise you to have water with you. They do not advise you use the hotter pools at all though.

I have been in that pool before and it is acutally pretty cool from what I recall. Just wanted some other opinions if you think it will be fine (before I merrily waddle on into it).
