You may enjoy bubble baths and bath bombs when you aren’t pregnant, but now that you are, you may wonder if these products are still safe to use. These products are generally safe to use as long as they contain safe ingredients. However, it’s also important to point out that artificial fragrances, essential oils, and chemicals increase the risk of yeast infections and UTIs. Neither of those things you want to deal with during your pregnancy. Since you have an increased risk of these, it’s best to save the bubble baths when you need some relaxation. It shouldn’t happen daily; you’ll definitely end up with a few UTIs if so. Also, avoid using scented soaps and bath products for pregnancy to prevent a urinary tract infection. Increase your water intake as well to counteract the bubble bath. Bath bombs typically use essential oils, and while there are some risks associated with essential oils, most are due to ingestion or direct, undiluted skin exposure. For example, soaking in a bathtub with highly concentrated EOs is not likely to be harmful. However, being educated about the risks, especially regarding controversial topics such as essential oils, helps you make the best decision for your body and baby.
