I'm a girl who likes a bath, the longer and hotter the better. But all the books say no hot baths for momma. No baths over 100 degrees. So today, as I felt like ass I decided that I would take a bath - but because I am not a good judge of temperature I grabbed the digital meat thermometer and dropped the gage in the bath being careful to keep the temp between 98 and 100 degrees. I then checked it periodically to make sure I wasn't overheating the bird. At one point it crept up to 102, but I quickly added more cool water.
It felt great to take a bath, it was so relaxing and it really did make me feel better. I may have to get a thermometer just for the tub.

Oh, honey. Oh my...
Here are a couple good rules of thumb when it comes to bathing with the belly:
1) If the water is hot enough that your skin is turning red, it's too hot.
2) If the water is hot enough that your sweating, it's too hot.
3) If the water is hot enough that you have to ease yourself into the tub, it's too hot.
Yes, but I really love baths that do all of those things. I also love baths that make me dehydrated and woosy when I get out. Baths so hot that I have to lie naked in bed for 10 min because my body is so red and hot I can't put on clothes.
I realize that baths like that are probably not good for me no matter what, but I miss them.
