Can I take a bath during early pregnancy?

If you are in the early stages of pregnancy, you should try to pay attention to the time of taking a bath. In fact, it is best not to take a bath. If you take a sitting bath, it will cause a lot of bacteria to grow, which will have a very bad effect on the fetus in your belly. Also, don't take a bath in public places. Even the time required for bathing should not be too long, otherwise it will cause chest tightness.

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.

2. Pregnant women should avoid sitting in a bath

To take bath sit in the bath, it is no good for womens healthy, especially when she is in pregnancy. This is because: Under normal circumstances, the female vagina maintains a certain acidity to prevent the growth of bacteria. This physiological phenomenon is closely related to estrogen and progesterone secreted by the ovaries. Women during pregnancy, especially in the latter pregnancy, the placenta villi produce a large amount of estrogen and progesterone. The dirty water after bathing is likely to enter the vagina, and the vagina's disease prevention ability is weakened, it is easy to cause cervicitis, adnexitis, and even intrauterine or vulvar infection and cause premature birth. Therefore, pregnant women should not take a sitz bath, let alone take a bath in a public bath.

3. The water temperature should not be too high

According to relevant expert research, if pregnant women take a bath with water that is too hot, it will affect the brain development of the fetus. Of course, when hot water raises the body temperature of a pregnant woman by 1.5 degrees above normal, the development of the fetal brain cells may stagnate. When it rises to 3 degrees, the fetal brain cells are in danger of being killed. Therefore, the water temperature for pregnant women to bathe should not be too high.

4. Be careful when slipping

Pregnant women have physical disabilities and the bathroom floor is generally slippery, so they should be extra careful to prevent falling.
