Taking a shower is a very comfortable thing that can relieve physical fatigue and make the skin cleaner, so many people love taking a shower. Pregnant women are the same. There are many things to pay attention to when taking a shower. So, how long is the best time to take a shower in mid pregnancy?
During mid pregnancy, pregnant women should not take showers or baths for more than 20 minutes. Because when a pregnant woman's body temperature is 1.5 ℃ higher than normal, it will affect the development of fetal brain cells. If the body temperature of a pregnant woman keeps rising, increasing by 3 degrees to lose weight, it will cause permanent damage to the fetal brain cells. Another reason why pregnant women cannot take long showers is that when the water temperature is too high, the blood circulation will accelerate, which can easily lead to fainting.
Pregnant women must pay attention to safety when taking a bath. It is best to control the water temperature below 38 ℃ and the duration, preferably within 20 minutes. For pregnant women, showering is a relatively safe way of bathing. You can carry a bottle of water with you while showering to prevent dehydration. You can also put a chair in the shower and sit down to wash when you feel tired.
Bathing during mid pregnancy should not be done for too long, and attention should be paid to keeping warm to prevent pregnant women from getting sick due to catching a cold. In addition, when taking a shower, you can use some maternity specific shower gel and so on.
