You shouldn't shower during a thunderstorm because water is a conductor of electricity and it may direct the energy of a lightening bolt through your body.
And the power may go out. This might cause you to slip and fall and cause an injury.

∙ 13y agoUnless you are outdoors, there is no direct health risk to showering during lightning storms. However, there are two situations that it could cause:
- If the lights go out and there is no window in the bathroom, you might have some difficulty getting safely out of the shower.
- If there is some other problem caused by the storm (roof leak, wind damage, tornado, flood, or family emergency), you will not be in a position to immediately address it.

It does, in fact, improve your odds of being struck by lightning. Being struck by lightning is not always fatal but, it frequently is. I have no idea where getting pregnant fits in with this but, it is probably best to avoid that sort of activity in the shower during a thunderstorm, too.
