hi ! This is my last month of pregnancy and yesterday I read an article where it was written that we should not soak legs on very hot water for achy legs. othervise there are chances of birthdefects in baby. but I soaked my legs throughtout my last trimester coz of severe leg aches at night.. coz I couldn't sleep throughout the night so I used to soak it and it used to give me relief... now i am worried..

hi Manisha Agarwall !hot baths pose risks when water is too hot as they can increase your body temperature and damage your baby’s developing cells, . Additionally, too hot water can increase your heart rate and reduce blood flow to your baby. keep the temperature of water warm but not hot.
