Can you take a bath when pregnant?
Good news: yes, you can take a bath during your pregnancy. This relaxing moment can even do you a lot of good, especially if you experience tension in your back or legs, which affects about 70% of expectant mothers.
The only real precaution to take is water temperature. It's best to avoid letting it exceed 37-38°C, as recommended by the WHO. Water that's too hot can make you tired or lower your blood pressure slightly, especially in the first trimester.
And if your pregnancy is a little more closely monitored (unusual discharge, risk of premature delivery, etc.), don't hesitate to talk to your midwife or doctor. They will help you adapt this moment of well-being to your situation.
Bathing during pregnancy, what are the benefits?
At the end of the day, a warm bath can be your best ally for releasing muscle tension and relieving ligament pain. This relaxing moment also promotes blood circulation and reduces the feeling of heavy legs. It's also a way to reconnect with your changing body and create a soothing bond with your baby .
The right steps to take for a risk-free bath
To ensure your bath remains a moment of pleasure and safety , a few simple steps are enough.
First, remember to limit your bath time to 10 or 15 minutes. Overly long immersion, even if pleasant, can sometimes lower blood pressure. Don't hesitate to use a thermometer to check that your bath is lukewarm, at 37°C.
When it comes to products, avoid very foamy or overly perfumed baths: during pregnancy, the skin and mucous membranes are more sensitive. Many ingredients, such as essential oils, should also be avoided. It's better to choose gentle, pregnancy-friendly products.
Finally, install a non-slip mat to get in and out of the bath safely, especially at the end of pregnancy, when balance becomes more unstable.
What products should I use for a gentle and safe bath?
During pregnancy, your skin becomes more sensitive. This is the right time to adopt gentle skincare products formulated without essential oils or endocrine disruptors.
The Coffret Peau Douce was designed for this. It combines two essentials that are safe, sensory, and effective:
- Les Bulles Lavantes shower jelly
- and the exfoliating Sublimating Glove

Les Bulles Lavantes pregnancy shower gel is ideal for daily cleansing. It cleanses while respecting the skin barrier, without damaging or drying out , and is suitable even for very sensitive skin. After your pregnancy, you can continue to use it with pleasure as a family because it is also suitable for babies from birth.
You can perform a suitable exfoliation thanks to our Gant Sublimateur. Designed for pregnant women, it has a soft side for exfoliation suitable for sensitive areas such as the stomach, and a side adapted for a more intense exfoliation, particularly on the legs. The exfoliation has several benefits: it promotes cell renewal and limits the feeling of heavy legs.
And to prolong this moment of relaxation, then apply a pregnancy stretch mark oil like L'Huile Sensorielle. This action nourishes your skin, supports its elasticity... and reconnects you with your body with tenderness. A self-massage on the belly, alone or with a partner, can even strengthen this precious bond with your baby.
