I think so...it's the one by the Outrigger Terraces (formerly DeBretts) on the highway between Taupo and Napier...they have about 3 different pool temps as well as beauty spa services and private pools....bliss!!!]]> Sun, 16 Jul 2006 20:00:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3132&PID=58935&title=thermal-pools#58935 <![CDATA[thermal pools?? : Paws is that the one at Taupo...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3132&PID=58661&title=thermal-pools#58661 Author: mummy_becks

Paws is that the one at Taupo Hot Springs up on the hill?? I love that park and that pool is the best to go into after being in the really hot hot pools. Well that was before I got pregnant. But we went there on our minimoon and it was great. I want to take Andrew up there before number 2 comes alog so we may have to make a weekend out of it.]]> Sat, 15 Jul 2006 12:04:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3132&PID=58661&title=thermal-pools#58661 <![CDATA[thermal pools?? : Luckily I&#039;m in luck in that...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3132&PID=58645&title=thermal-pools#58645 Author: Paws

Luckily I'm in luck in that the pools in Taupo have a cool pool (34degrees) that is chlorinated and only thermally heated so I'm just going to pop my body in that one.

I'd check with Hamner and see if they have something similar....]]> Sat, 15 Jul 2006 10:13:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3132&PID=58645&title=thermal-pools#58645 <![CDATA[thermal pools?? : Thermal pools are breeding grounds...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3132&PID=58630&title=thermal-pools#58630 Author: pixeldust

Thermal pools are breeding grounds for all types of nasty bacteria that can be very dangerous while pregnant. Because they (generally) do not add chlorine to the water, there is nothing to kill the nasties.

Personally, I wouldn't risk it. Don't mean to scaremonger, but I knew someone who caught meningitis from a thermal spa, and passed away 3 days later.]]> Sat, 15 Jul 2006 07:38:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3132&PID=58630&title=thermal-pools#58630 <![CDATA[thermal pools?? : Sounds good, I think you should...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3132&PID=58590&title=thermal-pools#58590 Author: mummy_becks

Medical Notes
If you have any health concerns you should discuss them with your doctor before visiting the hot springs. Some conditions which require attention include pregnancy, low blood pressure, heart conditions, diabetes and some skin conditions.
There may also be other conditions to which this warning should also apply.

In the first trimester of pregnancy we do not recommend bathing in the thermal pools.

Also have the springs contact numbers etc if you want to give them a call and ask.

I've just started swimming again and have been having a quick 5 minute spa after each swim to relax my muscles. I was always under the impression that if the temp was under 38 then you were ok. I wouldn't be putting my head under at any of the thermal parks just for my own safety.

I'm wearing a 2 peice with shorts and a long top. At least it covers the bump. You should be able to get togs now at a decent price.

Yeah I was asking about this the other week....someone else mentioned that they were sure under 38 degrees was fine...but yeah it's all about making sure you have lots of water with you and don't over heat...listen to your body!

I haven't touched my in-laws spa since becoming pregnant (it's much hotter than the average spa though) or the local public spa... but am fully intending to swim about in a natural thermal spot in Taupo, should we make it there in a fortnight - and Hamner Springs sounds mighty hard to turn down, too!  I've not been there but they must have hotter and not as hot pools, mustn't they?  ]]> Fri, 14 Jul 2006 07:48:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3132&PID=58375&title=thermal-pools#58375 <![CDATA[thermal pools?? : yep it&#039;s just the overheating...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3132&PID=58368&title=thermal-pools#58368 Author: meow
