Bath and massage together thus constitute a kind of skin gymnastics especially bene- ficial throughout pregnancy. Although hot foot-baths have sometimes been thought to cause miscarriage, there is no go6d reason for believing they ever do. Sea-bathing, on the con- trary, may be directly responsible for such a mishap. It is true that pregnant women sometimes indulge in surf-bathing without harmful results; nevertheless the danger of miscarriage they assume is not slight. The shock of the low tem...perature, the exertion required to keep a firm footing, and the pounding of the surf against the abdomen are all unfavorable influences which more than counterbalance any advantage of such a bath. On the other hand, there is slight risk if any in bathing in a quiet stream or lake.
