1. Don’t take a bath for too long

When taking a bath, the poor ventilation, turbid air and high humidity in the bathroom will reduce the oxygen content in the air. Coupled with the stimulation of hot water, the blood vessels in the human body will dilate. Generally, it will not cause any adverse consequences. However, if it lasts too long, it will affect the growth and development of the nervous system. Therefore, experts suggest that pregnant women should not take a bath for more than 15 minutes at a time, or at a time when they do not experience dizziness or chest tightness.
