Pregnant women need a comfortable environment during the confinement period. It is so hot in summer. How can they have a good confinement period without a cooling fan? They will feel dizzy from the heat. Therefore, the room temperature should be kept between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius in summer, but pregnant women should be careful not to be blown by wind as much as possible. At home, you can turn the fan to the opposite direction to let the wind hit the wall and bounce back home, so that the air in the room can circulate smoothly. In terms of settling in the natural environment, the bedroom of pregnant women should be kept clean, comfortable, quiet and ventilated. The indoor temperature should be maintained at 26℃-28℃ and the ambient humidity should be maintained at 55%-65%. In hot summer weather, you can turn on the cooling fan or central air conditioner, but be careful not to blow directly.

What should I pay attention to when using cooling fans during confinement in summer?

After giving birth, the body will be weak and sweat a lot. If the pregnant woman gives birth during the hot period, the confinement period should ensure that the pregnant woman recovers well and avoids heatstroke. In summer, people often rely on electric fans to keep cool, but if pregnant women do not use electric fans properly, they may experience dizziness, headache, joint pain, cold and other discomforts. Because the pores of the whole body, including the pores of the hair, are open after giving birth. At this time, the fan is directly blown onto the pregnant woman's skin, whether it is warm air or cold air, the pores will immediately shrink, which can easily cause muscle pain, headache, head wind, and even fever and cold.

The weather is very hot during the summer confinement period, and we need to prevent heatstroke. How can we use the fan skillfully? The fan should not be blown directly at the pregnant woman or the baby. The fan should be fixed in one direction, and can be blown towards the roof or wall. In this way, the return wind can be used to circulate the indoor air as quickly as possible, which can not only achieve the purpose of cooling, but also prevent the pregnant woman from catching cold and being harmful to her health. In addition, it is also important to note that it is best not to use an electric fan at night to prevent cold after falling asleep and causing symptoms.
