Hygiene during Pregnancy

There is no harm in bathing and showering from the beginning to the end of pregnancy. It is recommended to wear comfortable and not tight clothes.
A tight supportive bra is recommended due to the enlargement and heaviness of the breasts. Vaginal secretion will increase due to pregnancy. Sometimes this can be caused by a parasite or fungus. If vaginal discharge is increased, it is recommended to use acidic body shampoos when bathing or showering. It is also advisable to consult a doctor to find out if there is a microbial cause for this discharge. Sometimes sweating and odor can be complained of. In this case, you should take a shower every day.
Shoes and socks should be made of natural materials and should be changed every day. Unscented deodorants should be applied every night and onions, garlic and caffeinated drinks and foods should be avoided. In the event of a threat of premature birth, bleeding or if the baby’s partner is positioned inferiorly, sexual intercourse is permitted until delivery. Smoking and alcohol should never be used during pregnancy.
There are creams to be recommended for stretch marks, but their protection is limited. Rapid weight gain and the elasticity of the skin itself are more effective in the formation of stretch marks.
Pregnant women are recommended to wear low and wide heels. Since the ligaments in all joints in the body are loosened, foot sprains, dropping or spilling something heavy in the hand are common. For this reason, it is necessary to be careful while doing sports, not to prefer shoes with pointed heels in daily life and to lift heavy pots etc. with both hands. For lower back pain, it is recommended to support the back with a pillow when sitting and squat instead of bending down to pick something up. In order to reduce the formation of varicose veins, it is important not to stand for a long time and when sitting, it is important to support the back of the waist and place the feet on a high place. Since hemorrhoids are common, it is recommended not to be constipated and to prefer fiber foods. Moisturizers may be useful for skin itching. When it is insufficient, the treatments recommended by your doctor should be applied.
