For people, taking a bath every day is one of the things that must be done. Likewise, pregnant women are more likely to sweat during pregnancy and have to stay clean and tidy. For safety and convenience, pregnant women usually choose to take a bath. So the hazards of bathing pregnant women to wash their stomachs, to pregnant women bathing to pour hot water into the stomach has an impact? Let’s take a look.
Pregnant mothers can wash their stomachs when they take a bath, but it is safer to wash them with moderately warm water than hot water. Because the fetus is more fragile, the fetus is extremely sensitive to external heat in the first trimester. In severe cases, high temperatures may even cause fetal malformations or direct embryonic development to stop. Too much hot water in late pregnancy can cause skin irritation, which can easily cause contractions and affect normal fetal position. In severe cases, it can also lead to hypoxia and premature birth. So constant temperature bath water will not affect the fetus.
At the same time, pregnant mothers should master the strength of stomach washing, don’t use too much force, wash just right, don’t purposely wash the stomach, and try to choose shower rather than sitz bath, which can easily cause gynecological infection. Pregnant women do not need to be too nervous. When taking a shower, as long as the water temperature is not very high, there is generally no effect on the baby. However, when bathing during pregnancy, pay attention to warmth and the length of the bath to avoid catching a cold.
