    Jacuzzi while pregnant
    I know that while you are pregnant you are not suppose to get into a hot tub but what about a jacuzzi? I know the reason you aren't suppose to get into a hot tub is because of the extreme heat but I didn't know if it also had something to do with the air bubbles produced by the jets. Would all the jets and bubbles produced by a jacuzzi be safe? I know that while pregnant you are suppose to be safe and not have water or air forced up into you that is why I am curious if a jacuzzi would be safe.

    No a jacuzzi would not be safe. I have even read on the net about bathing while pregnant. Some sites say that bathing is also unsafe, I don't get how, maybe if you stay in there forever with hot water. But I do no for sure that a jacuzzi is not safe. That was listed right along with hot tub.

    I have a jacuzzi tub in my bathroom and it has been my saving grace I use it all the time (which the doctor said was ok)
    So far no harm just much needed relaxation.

    A jacuzzi is perfectly safe... bathing is perfectly safe. They are fine up until you lose your mucous plug or your water breaks.

    As Crystal says, a jacuzzi can be your saving grace, it can massage those tight and tense muscles in your back.

    Showering can actually be more dangerous as there is a possibility of losing your balance.

My jacuzzi is upstairs in my master suite. I noticed last night that it is leaking (drips) to the ceiling below, which is the dining room. Can anyone tell me how the repair can be made and how much this may cost me? Should I call a plumber or one of my area's jacuzzi dealer?
