Upsides and possibledownsides

It is known thatquite a number of pregnant women do have certain fear from bubble baths inthose probably the most important moments in one’s life. But as it turns out,fortunately for women, this belief is deeply rooted in a myth that putsforward a fairly unpleasant notion of the perilous effects of the bubble bathon the baby, i.e. that there is a possibility that an unborn baby is going todrown in the course of a bubble bath. And this is one of the prevailing reasonswhy some women even tend to abstain from bathing all together. The only thingpregnant women should especially watch out for is that the water is not too hotbut pleasantly warm, since too hot a water can affect the body’s temperaturebalance, making a person in question feel lightheaded and drained after one suchbubble bath. This is also important to watch out from, because in the course ofpregnancy, changes in the body temperature are not that easily brought back tonormal. Furthermore, in the course of a bubble bath, it is considered andrecommended for a woman to make sure her abdomen is above the water level.
