I've never ever taken a bath before, but I'm tempted now to help my achy pregnant body relax! I read that as long as the water's not too hot and I'm not in there forever, it's generally ok.
If you take baths, what do you put in the water to make it feel relaxing/luxurious? What are your bath rituals, if any?

@twodoghouse: That reminds of me a funny pic I saw on FB that talks about showering before & after kids. Something like after kids, "yes, I got to use shampoo today!"

I grew up in a family of bathers (including my brother, who is the only adult male I know who takes regular baths), and I prefer a bath to a shower any day.
Epsom salts are always really really nice. I also like the cheap boxed "bath beads" that sort of look like laundry detergent. But my favorite is the Burt's bees baby bubble bath. The smell (to me) is perfection!!

Rarely. Give it a go, I plan to take more regular baths when I'm a bit further along.

I like taking baths, but since I seem prone to UTIs, I don't put anything in the water. They have been great during pregnancy! My ritual is to get in and either read a book or play around on my phone.

@makemake: Ooo love your tips! Makes me want to jump in a bath RIGHT now...
@Happygal: I need to get one of those "tables" that you can put across the bathtub! Knowing me I'd totally drop stuff in the water

@snowjewelz: Yes, I want one of those tables, too! I had a close call where I dropped by phone getting in and it was just luck that it bounced out and not right into the water.
When I was younger, I had one of those blow up pillows. I would love to get one of those again.

Oh man, I really just wish I have one of those trays and a pillow and bath salts so I can go home right now and take one!

Oh I love baths. That is usually my 'me' time. I take my phone or my ereader, put on some tunes and just relax!
