Can I take a hot spring bath when I am pregnant?

Hot springs are a recreational activity that can be found in many resorts. The elderly, children and adults can all go to soak in hot springs. Regular hot spring soaking is very beneficial to the human body, as it can activate muscles and bones and promote blood circulation. However, hot spring bathing also depends on the time and person, so can you bathe in hot springs during pregnancy? You should know that the physical condition of pregnant women is different from that of ordinary people and is quite special. So let’s explore in detail below whether pregnant women can take a hot spring bath.

1. In the early stages of pregnancy, soaking in overheated hot springs may cause fetal malformations or miscarriage. In the late stages of pregnancy, soaking in hot springs may easily cause premature birth. In addition, unclean hot springs can cause vaginal infections in pregnant women. Generally speaking, it is best for expectant mothers in the early stages of pregnancy not to take a hot spring bath. On the one hand, the fetus is more easily disturbed at this stage. On the other hand, the expectant mothers during this period will have stronger early pregnancy reactions and are prone to fatigue and adverse reactions.

2. Of course, at any stage of pregnancy, if you feel unwell, you should not take a hot spring bath. However, taking a hot spring bath appropriately does have some benefits for expectant mothers, such as relieving physical fatigue and pain, but you need to pay special attention to the above points. In addition, expectant mothers should be especially reminded that soaking in hot springs can easily cause water loss in the body. It is best to replenish water in time, keep warm, and add clothes in time after getting out of the water.

If you feel the water temperature is too hot, do not go into the water. It is best to keep the water temperature close to body temperature, and it should not exceed 40℃. At the same time, try to control the time and it should not be too long. Whether the water quality is clean is an important factor to consider, and places where there are many people soaking should be avoided as much as possible.

4. What to do if you have bleeding in early pregnancy

1. Miscarriage

The most common condition for patients with early pregnancy bleeding is threatened abortion. Among these pregnant women, the embryo develops normally. Ultrasound examination shows embryonic tissue in the uterus and fetal heartbeat. These people should rest in bed and take progesterone to stop bleeding and preserve the fetus. They can usually be cured until full-term delivery, and the fetus develops normally, so there is no need to worry. If the vaginal discharge is brown, bed rest is recommended. You must let your doctor know so that you can get timely assistance.

2. Ectopic pregnancy

It is best for pregnant mothers to take a pregnancy test when their period is overdue, because after confirming the pregnancy, you can ask the doctor to help you confirm whether the implantation site is inside or outside the uterus. Pregnant women with a history of ectopic pregnancy, abnormal uterine structure, intrauterine contraceptive device, or who have undergone fallopian tube surgery are all considered to be at high risk of ectopic pregnancy.

Pregnant mothers should pay attention to one thing. No matter the color of the blood, as long as abnormal bleeding occurs once a day, they must rest in bed for three days, avoid sit-ups and other exercises that involve the abdomen, and avoid holding urine, constipation and other situations that will increase intra-abdominal pressure.

3. Hydatidiform mole

Once it is confirmed to be a hydatidiform mole, an abortion surgery must be performed and the chorionic tissue in the uterus must be scraped away, and the hCG index in the body must be tracked for normality within six months.
