@serenitylifedoula: 🥶Cold Plunge during pregnancy…Is it safe? My daughter and her husband have been cold plunging regularly for a few years. It is part of their #athletic recovery and their body is used to cold plunging. She is 25+4 weeks, water temp 56* and plunged for 4 minutes. It is finally cold enough in Texas to use our pool for cold plunging. We are all #coldplunging athletic family. Benefits of cold plunging: ✔️Improves mood and mental well being ✔️Reduces inflammation, joint and muscle soreness ✔️Helps with recovery ✔️Boost immune system quality ✔️Improves more restful sleep ✔️Helps with weight management ✔️Improves cognitive function ✔️Helps accelerate metabolism I often get asked by my #birthing athletes, can I continue to cold plunge during pregnancy…if you already do it why would you stop? It’s a great opportunity to practice #breathing and #birth zone training!!👊🏻 If you don’t already cold plunge pregnancy may not be the best time to start. 3-5 minute #coldplunge between 55*-60* will not lower the body temp enough to make #baby cold. You can always ask your healthcare provider on their thoughts.
