Can pregnant women take a bath in the early stage?

Can you take a bath in the early stages of pregnancy? We all think that you can't take a bath in the early stages of pregnancy because you're worried about catching a cold and causing something. In fact, it is still necessary to take a bath in the early stages of pregnancy, but when taking a bath, it is best to take care of some common problems to avoid infection. Let's discuss some common questions about bathing in early pregnancy. Can you bathe in early pregnancy?

Can I take a bath during early pregnancy?

You need to rest during the pregnancy period. You can watch TV in moderation, but it is best not to take a bath first.

It is best not to take a bath in the current condition. You can take a sponge bath. Taking a bath may cause miscarriage. If you really need to take a bath, it is best to take a shower. The temperature should not exceed 40 degrees.

After the signs of miscarriage occur, pregnant women and their relatives always hope that the doctor can find ways to preserve the fetus. However, if the condition is not analyzed objectively, the fetus that is defective and should be replaced naturally may be stored, resulting in the newborn baby having deformities such as incompleteness, stupidity, mental retardation, albinism, etc. Test tube embryos will also have the "survival of the fittest", and some deformed babies will be freed from their pregnant mothers through natural abortion. Relevant studies have found that in various types of miscarriage, if active treatment is still ineffective, it is usually because there are some defects in the test tube embryo. Therefore, from the perspective of eugenics, blindly following the trend of prenatal care is not advisable, as it may cause lifelong pain to the child and the parents.

Pregnancy maintenance can only be carried out when the test tube embryo survives. The conditions for the survival of a test tube embryo are the existence of early pregnancy reactions, positive urine pregnancy test, positive blood chorionic gonadotropin, improvement or disappearance of the patient's symptoms, such as relief of abdominal pain, decrease or cessation of vaginal bleeding, early B-ultrasound examination showing embryonic bud, fetal heart growth and fetal heartbeat reflex surface, uterus enlargement with months of pregnancy, fetal movement can be observed after 12 weeks of pregnancy, and amniotic fluid enlargement with months of pregnancy. And it is necessary to check repeatedly to confirm the survival of the fetus.

What are the common problems of pregnant women taking baths?

In the early stages of pregnancy, that is, the first three months, the indoor temperature should not be too high when pregnant women take a bath. The temperature should be appropriate so that the skin does not feel cold.

Temperature: 27-37 degrees Celsius

The temperature should be humid and hot, similar to or slightly higher than human body temperature. Generally speaking, the temperature should be below 38 degrees. Because if the temperature or indoor temperature is too high, the fetus may not fully develop due to lack of oxygen. In the late stages of pregnancy, you should not take a very hot shower, and the shower time should not be too long, otherwise it is easy to cause hypoxia and suffocation, which may also cause fetal intrauterine hypoxia, and in severe cases even fetal stillbirth. Some women combine hot water with showering for skin health. This method is very easy to affect the uterus and fetus for pregnant women, so it is not suitable for pregnant women to adopt this showering method.

Time: 15 to 20 minutes

In addition, pregnant women should not take a bath for too long. Pregnant women are very likely to experience dizziness, lightheadedness, fatigue, chest tightness and shortness of breath when taking a shower. This is because the air quality in the bathroom gradually decreases, the temperature is high, and the CO2 supply is relatively insufficient. In addition, the stimulation of hot water will cause the capillaries of the epidermis to expand, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the head of the pregnant woman. In addition, the fetus will also experience insufficient oxygen and accelerated heart rate. In severe cases, the growth and development of the fetus's central nervous system may be adversely affected. Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant women take a bath for about 10 to 20 minutes.
