It is not the case that the more frequent the bath, the better. Let’s learn about the precautions for pregnant women to take a bath.

After a woman becomes pregnant, many special physiological changes occur in her body, such as active secretion of sweat glands and sebaceous glands, which causes easy sweating and increased secretion of sweat and oil on the head. If she does not wash her hair or take a bath regularly, the dirt on the skin and head can affect the excretion function of the pores, which can easily lead to infection and itching or other skin diseases. Therefore, pregnant women should wash their hair and take a bath frequently, change clothes frequently, keep themselves clean and hygienic, prevent infection, and reduce skin diseases. Washing your hair frequently can also keep your hair soft, shiny, beautiful and comfortable, which is beneficial to the physical and mental health of pregnant women.

When it comes to bathing, expectant mothers should first take a standing shower instead of a tub bath or a sitting bath. Secondly, they should pay attention to appropriate methods and ways of cleaning sensitive parts of the body.

Showering is the best choice for pregnant women to take a bath!

Nowadays, people usually take a shower when taking a bath, and this is especially true for expectant mothers. Generally, sitting baths are not recommended after pregnancy. If you sit bath, the dirty water after the bath may enter the vagina, and the vagina's disease resistance is weakened, which can easily cause cervicitis, vaginitis, salpingitis, etc., or cause urinary tract infection, causing the expectant mother to have symptoms such as chills, high fever, abdominal pain, and even intrauterine or vulvar infection causing premature birth. This will inevitably increase the chances of taking medication during pregnancy and create conditions for malformations and premature births. Therefore, expectant mothers should not take a sitz bath, let alone take a bath in a public bath. At the same time, do not use hot water to shower the abdomen for a long time to reduce the adverse effects on the embryo.

In the early stages of pregnancy, because the mother's belly is smaller, she can shower while standing, but handrails must be installed in the bathroom to prevent her from slipping; in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, the mother's belly is larger, the center of gravity is unstable, and she is prone to slipping, so she must shower while sitting on a chair with a backrest to avoid falling. If the expectant mother has a weak constitution and is particularly prone to fatigue, she can choose to take a sitz bath occasionally at home, but she must pay attention to the cleanliness of the bathtub and water.

If the expectant mother is particularly afraid of being tired, it is a good choice to ask the expectant father to accompany her when taking a shower.
