Can pregnant women sleep with air conditioning on?

As the saying goes, "A pregnant woman has a stove in her belly during the dog days of summer," which shows that pregnant women are more afraid of the cold in summer. Due to the unique physical condition of pregnant women, many people have spread the rumor that pregnant women cannot use central air conditioning in summer, which makes pregnant women who sweat profusely from the heat very painful. In fact, pregnant women can use central air conditioning in summer, and proper use of central air conditioning has certain benefits, but some things need to be paid attention to.

The metabolism of pregnant women is higher than that of ordinary people, and the body temperature is 0.2℃-0.5℃ higher than that of non-pregnant people. In addition, pregnant women have weaker heat resistance, so they are more afraid of cold than ordinary people. If pregnant women use the air conditioner appropriately, it will not only not harm the health of the fetus, but the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

The benefits of using central air conditioning for pregnant women in summer: 1. The heat flow is heavy in summer, and pregnant women are more prone to fever and sweating than ordinary people. If the heat pipe is not dissipated in time, it will have a great impact on mother and child. Moderate use of central air conditioning is beneficial for pregnant women to dissipate heat. 2. The air is hot, and when the body feels hot, appetite will also be affected. Using central air conditioning to change the indoor temperature will make pregnant women feel comfortable, and their emotions will become calmer and their appetite will get better.

Common problems for pregnant women using central air conditioners: 1. Maintain fresh air and avoid long-term use of central air conditioners. If you feel stuffy, dizzy, have dry and itchy skin, or even have a strong odor when using central air conditioners, it mostly indicates that the air in the room is not fresh. After the central air conditioner has been used for a period of time, it is recommended to turn off the central air conditioner, replace the air in the room, and open the windows for ventilation after the room temperature rises slightly. 2. Clean the central air conditioner regularly: The central air conditioner will absorb dust and germs, so it needs to be cleaned regularly. Some small components in the central air conditioner, especially the filter, need to be cleaned from time to time to promptly remove dust and the dust mites and bacteria adhering to them. 3. Humidify the air or drink more water: During pregnancy, the skin condition is already deteriorating, especially prone to dryness, and the air conditioner will make the dryness worse. When using central air conditioning, it is a good choice to turn on the humidifier. At the same time, you should drink plenty of water to replenish sufficient water.
