What should expectant mothers pay attention to at home?

　　Bathing time and water temperature should be appropriate

　　female After pregnancy, various tissues and systems of the body will undergo a series of changes. Sweat glands and sebaceous glands secrete vigorously, so you must pay attention to skin Hygiene, bathe often. However, please note that the bathing time must be appropriate. It is not advisable to take a bath when you are hungry or within 1 hour after eating.

　　The water temperature for bathing should also be appropriate. Regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter, the temperature of the bath water should be close to body temperature, preferably 27℃-35℃. Do not take cold baths or steam saunas, because too cold or too hot will affect the blood circulation of pregnant women, which is not good for the mother's body. healthy and fetus development.

　　We encourage pregnant women to take showers instead of bathing in the tub. This is not only because the self-cleaning function of the female vagina decreases after pregnancy, but also because pathogens are prone to retrograde infection through the vagina during bathing. Another important reason is that pregnant women have heavy bodies and it is inconvenient to get in and out of bathtubs and bathtubs, which virtually increases the probability of slipping. Moreover, the bathroom is small and has many things. It is easy for the abdomen to be hit after slipping, causing premature birth、placental abruption . Even if you are taking a shower, you must also pay attention, because the ground is slippery when bathing, and pregnant women can easily slip without shifting their center of gravity, so it is best to lay out a non-slip mat to ensure safety.

　　Keep air circulation when cooking and use small appliances as little as possible

　　After the gas or liquefied gas in the kitchen is burned, a variety of harmful gases will be produced in the air. The released harmful gases such as carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and carbon monoxide are higher in concentration than in the outdoor air. In addition, the oil fume produced when frying food cannot provide the large amount of fresh air needed by pregnant women. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain air circulation in the kitchen, open the windows, and use a range hood. If there is no good ventilation, pregnant women should try to avoid working in the kitchen for long periods of time.

　　There are many household appliances in the kitchen. Although they are easy to use, the electromagnetic radiation generated by them is also an unsafe factor. For example, microwave ovens have a strong thermal effect and produce strong electromagnetic waves. The electromagnetic waves generated by microwave ovens can induce cataracts, cause brain abnormalities, and may also affect the fetus. Therefore, try to avoid using microwave ovens at close range and for long periods of time during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester. In addition, electric appliances such as induction cookers and electric baking pans should be touched as little as possible.

　　Don’t change the placement of furniture easily

　　If you have the habit of frequently changing the position of furniture, then put it down for now, and also remind people at home not to do this. Although changing the position of furniture can bring you a sense of novelty, the cost may be harming the baby in your belly. Because you are already accustomed to the original arrangement, once the position is changed, you may not react, and you may bump into the corner of the table or trip over the chair as soon as you turn around! Comparing which end is lighter and which is heavier, you won’t be tempted to give your furniture a makeover one day, right?

　　Clothing should be easily accessible

　　Of course, this does not mean that all the furnishings in the home must be "untouched". Some must be moved. This is also for the safety of the expectant mother. After discovering that you are pregnant, some room layouts need to be adjusted appropriately. For example, if the floors in the room and bathroom are made of slippery materials, anti-slip mats should be placed on them to prevent the expectant mother from falling. Pay attention to the location of various power cords, and do not place them in frequently moved areas or in high places to avoid tripping pregnant women. In addition, the placement of clothes in the wardrobe should also be adjusted. The frequently used clothes of expectant mothers should be placed in a convenient and easy-to-reach place, not too high and not too low. In order to make it easier for expectant mothers to hang and retrieve clothes, the clothes hangers should also be lowered appropriately to minimize the chance of pregnant women climbing up and down.

　　Use the right home cleaning methods

　　For expectant mothers, the bedroom is a place where they spend a lot of time, so keeping it clean is crucial. However, many young expectant mothers only pay attention to hygiene issues but ignore the safety issues of detergents. Although a large amount of disinfectant can eliminate pathogenic bacteria in the room, the toxic substances in the disinfectant itself can have side effects that cause fetal malformations. Therefore, if you want to keep your bedroom clean, the right thing to do is to keep the air circulating in the room instead of using a lot of disinfectants. This is the best way to kill pathogens!
