Can I take a shower while lying in bed?

Pregnant women are very important to maintain their pregnancy, but in the process of maintaining pregnancy, they need to pay attention to many things, such as not taking a bath in a sitting position, otherwise it may lead to premature birth. Taking a sitting bath will allow some bacteria to enter the vagina of pregnant women. Do not do tiring things, and learn how to prevent constipation and have regular pregnancy checkups. So, can you take a bath while lying in bed to maintain your pregnancy?

First, can you take a shower while lying in bed to protect the fetus? You can take a shower if there is no bleeding or spotting during the period of protecting the fetus. The period of fetal preservation is often accompanied by bleeding and spotting. Spotting refers to a small amount of vaginal bleeding. It is not recommended for pregnant mothers to take a bath at this time to avoid bacterial invasion and infection of the fetus. However, if there are no more symptoms of bleeding or spotting, you can still take a bath, but you must choose a shower and pay attention to anti-slip and keeping warm. If pregnant women catch cold, it may cause miscarriage. Therefore, you can take a bath if there is no bleeding or spotting during the period of pregnancy preservation.

Second, pregnant women should avoid sitting in baths. 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 in pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, the placenta villus produce a lot of estrogen and progesterone, and the amount of progesterone is greater than estrogen. Therefore, at this stage, the shedding of vaginal epithelial cells is greater than the proliferation, which will reduce the amount of lactic acid in the vagina, thereby reducing its killing power against foreign pathogens. If you take a sitz bath, the dirty water after the bath may enter the vagina, and the vagina's disease resistance will be weakened, which can easily cause cervicitis, adnexitis, or even intrauterine or vulvar infection, leading to premature birth. Therefore, pregnant women should not take a sitz bath, let alone take a bath in a public bath.

Precautions for preserving the pregnancy: Try to avoid climbing high, lifting heavy objects or bending over to pick up things to avoid abdominal discomfort or collision. Get enough rest and do not overwork. To prevent constipation, increase your intake of fruits and vegetables and water, but do not take laxatives on your own. Keep your body clean, especially your perineum. You need to go to the hospital for a check-up every week or two weeks.
