Hi!, I was wondering if a pregnant can go to sauna. In guidelines they recommend not to, but in Finland I have heard is quite common to use sauna while your pregnant and it´s normal.

I've been to sauna several times during my pregnancy, max. once a week.
Always listening to my own body and enjoying heat around 60-70 degrees.

I find it relaxing for both mind & body

My neuvola doctor said it was fine, normal. Although, I sit on the bottom step and make sure I drink plenty of water. And usually don't stay in there too long
