What should pregnant women do if they are allergic to pollen?

Pollen allergy in pregnant women can also have some adverse effects on the fetus, so of course attention should be paid to correct prevention and solution. Pregnant women should try to wear masks, glasses, hats, etc. when going out to avoid contact with some pollen, and ensure adequate water every day.

1. When expectant mothers go out, a mask, glasses and a hat are essential. Of course, expectant mothers also need to decide whether to go out based on weather conditions and wind speed. Generally speaking, when the wind is strong on sunny days, there will be more pollen in the air, so it is advisable to reduce going out. If you must go out, in addition to masks, glasses, and hats, try to choose clothes with smooth textures that are not easily stained with pollen.

2. When the expectant mother returns home from going out, she should shake off the pollen on her body as soon as possible. At the same time, she should use an air purifier and humidifier indoors to reduce the spread of pollen indoors. When the humidity in the room is maintained at around 50%-55%, the pollen particles will become heavier and fall.

3. For expectant mothers, they must drink 8 glasses of water every day. Because when there is insufficient water in the body, the cells of the respiratory system and gastrointestinal tract lining will shrink, causing cracks between the cells, allowing foreign substances such as pollen to penetrate the cells and cause allergic reactions.

4. Pregnant women who are allergic to pollen should pay attention: Allergies are hereditary, and early prevention is the key. For expectant mothers who are allergic to pollen, the immune function may decline during pregnancy. Once the allergy is triggered, the symptoms may be more severe than before pregnancy. So be sure to try to avoid allergens that may trigger allergies. Once an allergy occurs, go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible and follow the doctor's instructions to avoid affecting the baby in your belly. On the other hand, after your baby is born, you should also carefully help him prevent allergies and keep him away from things that trigger allergic symptoms.
