You just shouldn't use anything fragrant or possibly irritating in a bath because it could cause infection. It usually takes way more than one use, but it isn't worth taking the chance, so don't use it again until after baby is born and your doctor gives you the "okay".

Never heard this before. I use them at LEAST once a week sometime upto 4 or 5 times lol xxx

i wouldnt worry unless its something your midwife or doc has told you to stay away from, i use them all the time xxx

ive been in ''LUSH'' baths all along.. i think it will be fine xx think its the salt , can cause dehydration.. drink plenty of water afterwards xx

It's utter rubbish. The only time you can't use anything in bath water is if your waters have gone or you're actually in labour, in case it goes inside and causes an infection.

You can't have a really HOT bath as it raises your core body temperature and can damage the baby.

I've had a bath almost every single day of my pregnancy and have used all different sorts of things in them (mostly from Lush lol) and have been absolutely fine.
