LADYJAN,,hope she dont give birth premature & use the mud baths as a birthing pool..... everyone will think shes given birth to the Incredible Hulk ............ i dont think it'll do her any harm so long as she doesn't swallow any of the green stuff..... just be careful that she doesn't slip over and harm herself and the little one.....

thanks for that wakiraki ,and youre concern of falling,might give the mud baths a try,thats if the heat dont get to her first ,we lucky really because this year not booked any apartments as our turkish friend is letting us have his villa for 3 weeks and is moving out ,so it will have all home comforts to suit her if shes feeling a bit yukky with the heat

Ladyjan,

I would imagine she would be okay to use the mudbaths but can I give advise that she avoids the thermal pools that are there. Just as you're advised not to have hot baths when pregnant, the thermal pools are 38 degrees and could lead to her overheating.

Hope you have a lovely holiday.

thanks for that scottish mum good point you made ,,didnt even think of the thermal pool xxx jan

i went to turkey a few years back when i was 5 months pregnant i had no problems in the country in the heat apart from slightly swollen ankles, the main problem i had was bad swollen ankles and legs on the return flight, luckily they had given us slightly more leg room due to my pregnancy so this might be worth asking for when you check in, i was one of the unlucky ones with swelling, but thought it was worth mentioning as they did give us row 1 as soon as i mentioned i was pregnant,

thanks for that ellie meg some good information thanks ,,xxx jan

as a midwife i can say i have never came across this question before...however pregnant women are advised to avoid saunas.

i have never experienced a mud bath personally but i imagine that they may be slippy, if that is the case i would advise to stay away if there is any risk of slipping...hope this helps

don't let your daughter go to the mud baths.... they come from a thermal spring.... its too hot, and dangerous!

Also, the thermal springs further on past the mud baths are a no no! sorry!

thanks for all youre replies i think we will give the mud baths a miss dont want to put her in danger of any kind.will have to think of other things to do.thanks again xxx jan
