Most of the time, a soak in a hot tub is just a pleasant, relaxing experience. But when your pregnant, hot tubs do come with a few risks: * Hot tub dermatitis. This skin infection is caused by a bacterium called Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which likes to live in warm water. The rash is red, bumpy, and itchy. Tiny, pus-filled blisters may form, but it usually gets better on its own. * Overheating. Sitting in a too-hot hot tub, or in any hot bath for too long a time, can raise your body temperature and make you feel weak and dizzy. You may lose your balance or even pass out when you try to stand. In extreme cases, overheating can be fatal. * Hot tub lung. This lung infection is a rare problem, but it can happen. A tiny organism called Mycobacterium avium can live in the water and be released into the air when whirlpool bubbles burst. If it infects the lungs, it can cause shortness of breath, fever, and cough. If you've chosen to be extra-careful during your pregnancy, you may want to avoid hot tubs for the reasons listed above. But even if you're comfortable risking a skin rash or an unusual infection, during pregnancy hot tub use may not be a good idea
