How to clean the dirty belly button during pregnancy

During pregnancy, pregnant women are very concerned about their physical condition, fearing that physical problems may affect the development of the fetus. The belly button is an area that easily harbors dirt. If it is too dirty, it will make people feel uncomfortable. Moreover, if it appears on the belly, people will definitely worry that it will affect pregnancy. So, how to clean the dirty belly button during pregnancy? Let’s take a look below.

1. Put the towel in warm water

First soak a towel in warm water and then wring it dry. Gently scrub your belly, especially the belly button, without applying excessive force.

2. Soak the cotton swab

Soak a cotton swab in water and use it to wipe the belly button. Then use a new cotton swab to rub it with soap and clean the belly button. Remember not to insert the cotton swab too deep into the belly button. After wiping, soak a clean cotton swab and wipe it. Repeat this several times and the belly button will be clean.

3. Use water to counter alcohol

After wiping, use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol and water to disinfect the belly button, then wipe the abdomen with a towel, and finally wipe the belly button with a dry cotton swab to complete the cleaning of the belly button.

Pregnant women cannot pick their liver eyes.

1. The belly button is the trace of the umbilical cord connecting the fetus and the mother. As a part of the human embryonic organ, the belly button is more closely connected to the abdominal cavity than the skin of other places in the abdomen. Dirt can easily hide in the belly button, and if it is not cleaned in time, it may produce odor.

2. The belly button is the place where the internal organs are closest to the outside world. If the washing method is improper, it will irritate the internal organs in the abdominal cavity (mainly the small intestine) and cause discomfort in the digestive system, that is, stomach pain. There are some particular ways to wash your belly button. You can't use force like you would when scrubbing your bath or picking your nose, and you definitely can't pick it too hard. You can try to wipe it gently with a damp cotton swab first. Be sure to wipe it gently and only wipe the edges that are easy to reach. It should be a "point-by-point" cleaning.

3. Pregnant women are not allowed to pick their belly buttons to avoid stimulating the belly and causing uterine contractions, which can lead to miscarriage. You must pay attention to this. Secondly, during pregnancy, you must pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition. You need to supplement folic acid in the first month and calcium in the middle period. You cannot have sexual intercourse in the three months before and after.
