What to do if you have allergies on your face during pregnancy

If facial allergies occur during pregnancy, many parents may worry that the allergies will be transmitted to the fetus, especially contagious urticaria and eczema. In the case of facial allergies, it is best to pay attention to your skin care, avoid using cosmetics and stuffy, non-breathable clothing, and avoid contact with allergens. Try not to take medication. It is best to use topical ointment to treat allergies.

What to do if you have facial allergies during early pregnancy

1. Avoid skin irritation To prevent the worsening of skin allergy symptoms in pregnant women, pregnant women should pay attention to reducing the use of cleaning products on the belly from the 4th month of pregnancy, and apply some lotion on the waist and abdomen after bathing, and avoid wearing stuffy and non-breathable clothing.

2. Reduce contact with allergens. To prevent or treat allergic diseases, the most important way is to reduce the chance of contact with allergens. Because allergies are closely related to genetics, "prevention should start from pregnancy." If a woman develops allergies during pregnancy, the fetus's immune system will recognize the allergen and create a memory of it. If the baby encounters the same allergen after birth, it will immediately have an allergic reaction.

3. Healthy living Pregnant women should not be overly tired or stay up late, and try to get enough sleep. Avoid keeping pets such as cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, mice, etc. at home. Avoid smoking and being exposed to secondhand smoke and polluted air, and avoid excessive use of cleaning agents.

4. Reasonably adjust the diet. Pregnant women with allergies must adjust their diet from the fourth month of pregnancy, avoid taking foods that are prone to cause allergies as much as possible, and eat more fresh, protein-rich foods, such as fish, milk, eggs, soybeans, meat and cereals. You should avoid consuming pears, watermelons, tomatoes, coconuts, cantaloupes, oranges, honeydew melons, cabbage, white radishes, cold drinks, ice water, cigarettes, all kinds of alcohol, chocolate, walnuts, dried fish and processed products.

What should you pay attention to during early pregnancy?

1. Don’t do strenuous exercise

During pregnancy, pregnant mothers need to maintain proper exercise. However, in the early stages of pregnancy, the development of the fetus is unstable and the mother's physical condition is also unstable. At this time, the mother should not engage in strenuous exercise to avoid miscarriage.

2. Pay attention to personal hygiene

For women who have just become pregnant, due to changes in their bodies and increased demand for nutrition, their metabolism will be very fast and their vaginal secretions will increase, making them vulnerable to bacterial invasion. Therefore, after entering the pregnancy period, pregnant mothers should pay special attention to their own hygiene, take a bath frequently, and change underwear frequently.

3. Dress appropriately

In the early stages of pregnancy, pregnant mothers should wear soft and loose clothing, avoid wearing a waist corset, tight pants, or high heels. Otherwise, miscarriage may easily occur. Moreover, high heels can cause leg fatigue in pregnant mothers, which is not good for their health.

4. Do a good job of inspection

If bleeding occurs in early pregnancy, it may be due to a variety of reasons such as ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, and fatigue. These are all things that you should not be careless about. You should go to the hospital for a check-up immediately. If a pregnant mother experiences bleeding or other miscarriage symptoms in the early stages of her pregnancy, after going to the hospital for examination to rule out ectopic pregnancy, she should follow the doctor's instructions and do a good job of protecting the fetus.
