Can pregnant women use air conditioning?

It is said that pregnant women cannot use air conditioning. In fact, this idea is wrong. The weather is hot and humid in summer, and pregnant women have heavy bodies and cannot tolerate heat. If they do not use air conditioning, it will be detrimental to the body's heat dissipation and the conditioning of pregnant women. When using air conditioning, pregnant women only need to pay attention to some better methods to be beneficial to their health, such as avoiding direct blowing of the air conditioner, paying attention to the temperature of the air conditioner, etc.

1. Make sure the indoor air is fresh.

Since the doors and windows need to be closed when the air conditioner is turned on, the indoor air will become less fresh after a long time. When pregnant women use air conditioning, it is best to open windows for ventilation from time to time.

2. Pay attention to indoor moisturizing.

The skin during pregnancy is prone to dryness, and this condition is even more serious in an air-conditioned environment. Turning on a humidifier is a good option. It is also recommended that you drink plenty of water to replenish your body with enough water. Applying a moisturizing cream can also effectively relieve your dry and itchy skin symptoms.

3. Pay attention to the cleaning of the air conditioner.

Especially when the air conditioner is not used for a long time, it is necessary to clean the air conditioner water tank and other dead corners in time to prevent bacteria and viruses.

4. Pay attention to the temperature of the air conditioner.

The air conditioning temperature should not be too low as the air resistance is weak. Set the air conditioning temperature at 23 to 28 degrees so that the room feels slightly cool. Avoid too low temperature and too large temperature difference between outdoor and indoor temperature.

5. Avoid direct air conditioning.

The pores on the skin of pregnant women are relatively loose and easily affected by wind. In an air-conditioned room, pregnant women should avoid being directly exposed to the cold air from the air conditioner.

6. Pay attention to the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors.

When going from an air-conditioned environment to an outdoor environment, you must pay attention to the temperature difference. You can pinch your nose and walk out, hold your breath for about 5 seconds, and let your skin adapt to the outdoor temperature first. This can reduce the possibility of catching a cold.
