Is it safe to use sauna while pregnant?

Using a sauna while pregnant is generally not recommended due to potential risks associated with overheating. The JNH Lifestyles sauna generates significant heat, which can increase your core body temperature. High body temperatures during pregnancy have been linked to potential risks, especially during the first trimester.

Most healthcare providers advise expecting mothers to avoid saunas and hot baths to ensure the safety of the developing fetus. It's crucial to prioritize hydration and comfort when considering any wellness routines during pregnancy.

For example, some women report feeling relaxed in the sauna, but the risks usually outweigh the benefits. If you're seeking relaxation, safer alternatives could include gentle stretches or yoga.

Pro Tip: Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice regarding sauna use during pregnancy.

Consideration: If you're in your third trimester, even the advice might change, as different health considerations come into play.
