...the authors conducted a 1996–1998 population-based prospective cohort study at the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program in Oakland, California. Of 2,729 eligible women, 1,063 completed the interview. Miscarriage before 20 weeks of gestation was ascertained for all participants. Information on hot tub or whirlpool bath use was obtained during an in-person interview conducted early in the pregnancy. ... use of a hot tub or whirlpool bath after conception was associated with a twofold increased risk of miscarriage (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 2.0). The risk seemed to increase with increasing frequency of use (aHR = 1.7 for less than once a week, aHR = 2.0 for once a week, and aHR = 2.7 for more than once a week) and with use during early gestation (aHR = 2.3 for initial use within the first 4 weeks of the last menstrual period and aHR = 1.5 for initial use after 4 weeks of the last menstrual period). Findings suggest an association between use of a hot tub or whirlpool bath during early pregnancy and the risk of miscarriage

So I'm about 5 weeks right now... and I swear I was in the hot tub just last week.. for some reason I got out really early and decided to not sit in it all the way

so I'm happy about that, but I swear I've been in the hot tub a ton in the first 4 weeks. Who knew it affected it ... now I'm going to worry myself sick until I'm 12 weeks. Stupid Kaiser study.
Maybe I shouldn't worry so much.. but that's what I do now, worry and burp, and pee. Though I also read that having morning sickness early, and having bad morning sickness is a sign that the baby has implanted well... soo maybe everything will be ok.
