Can I take a bath while preparing for pregnancy?

Taking a bath is a very enjoyable thing, and it is also something that many people do to relieve fatigue or maintain health. Of course, you can't take a bath at any time. For those who are preparing for pregnancy, taking a bath is not impossible, but the temperature needs to be controlled. Especially for men, do not take a bath at high temperature, as this will affect the quality of sperm. Below, I will introduce to you in detail the things to pay attention to when preparing for pregnancy!

1. Keep exercising to prevent colds and coughs

Women who are planning to get pregnant are advised to keep exercising, which will help prevent colds, coughs and other diseases, and prevent fetal malformations during pregnancy. However, physical exercise should be done gradually. Just do moderate exercise and avoid strenuous exercise, otherwise they will be excited and nervous, which will affect their physiological balance. If they do strenuous exercise, it is best to postpone conception.

2. Nutritional storage should be sufficient

In the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus's nutrition comes from the endometrium, which requires nutritional preparation and supplementation before women become pregnant. In order to have a healthy and qualified body to conceive a baby, you should have a reasonable diet before pregnancy and eat more nutritious foods, such as meat, vegetables, soy products, fruits, etc.

3. Avoid contact with radiation

Exposure to harmful substances not only affects women’s health, but also affects the normal development of the fetus after pregnancy and may cause fetal malformations. Therefore, before pregnancy, women must not come into contact with radioactive substances such as lead and mercury. If they have been exposed before, they must go to the hospital to check whether there are excessive substances in the body. If they are excessive, they must first stay away from the range of harmful substances and wait until their physical indicators are normal before conceiving a baby.

4. Use medication with caution

Drugs are also a major cause of fetal malformations. They directly affect the fetus through the placenta. Especially in the three months after conception, the fetus is more susceptible to the effects of drugs. The drug components accumulated in the mother's body can also affect the development of the fetus, so women should be cautious when using medications a few months before preparing for pregnancy.

5. Pregnant fathers should avoid wearing tight pants

Pregnancy is not just a woman’s business; good birth and upbringing are the responsibilities of both husband and wife. Studies have found that men who often wear tight pants will increase testicular temperature and weaken sperm production function. As a qualified husband, you need your wife to make all preparations for pregnancy together.

6. Don’t go to the bedroom after drinking

Do not have sex after drinking, because alcohol will affect chromosomes and genes, which in turn affects the healthy development of the fetus. In severe cases, it can cause mental retardation, cleft lip, short legs and many other diseases. Therefore, if you accidentally get pregnant after drinking, you must consult a doctor whether you can keep the child.
