I bath mine when gravid and haven't had a problem with them - they seemed to really enjoy it, not having all that weight dragging around and being supported by their legs...maybe don't bath them when they are really close to laying though, as there is a small chance of the warm water triggering laying, in a similar way to it encouraging them to go to the toilet.

i've read its allright, but keep you hand close so she can climb onto it if she starts to get annoyed.

its a nice way to make sure they take in some water as well, as they might not take enough on in the viv!
