1, Suggestions on shampoo for pregnant women
Shampoo frequency
How many times a week is it appropriate for pregnant mothers to wash their hair? Is it necessary to wash it every day? In fact, the frequency of shampooing varies from person to person. Too frequent shampooing not only can't protect hair, but sometimes it may do harm to hair, because too frequent shampooing will completely wash off the oil secreted by sebaceous glands, leaving scalp and hair with a natural protective film, which is harmful to hair health.
Bian Xiao suggested 1: If there are no special circumstances, it is generally reasonable to wash your hair 2 ~ 3 times a week. If it is hot in summer, it is best to wash it every other day. If there are many foreigners, you can also wash them every day. In addition, environmental pollution is serious in many areas, and most of the rain falls when it rains. If you go out in the rain, it is recommended to wash your hair. Sometimes it's no use wiping with a towel. You need a good wash.
Choice of shampoo
During pregnancy, pregnant mother's hair will appear particularly thick and shiny, oily hair will be more oily than usual, and dry hair will not be as dry as usual. This is because the level of estrogen in pregnant mothers is increased, which prolongs the growth period of hair, and the hair that should fall off during normal rest will not fall off. In addition, pregnant mothers have a sensitive sense of smell and skin. In order to prevent allergic rhinitis or rash from affecting the fetus, pregnant mothers should choose a mild shampoo suitable for their hair.
Intimate suggestion 2: At present, there are many kinds of shampoo for pregnant women on the market, but no matter which one or which brand, it may not be suitable for all pregnant mothers. For the sake of prudence, it is best to try it before pregnancy, and if it feels appropriate, continue to use it during pregnancy. In addition, pregnant mothers can also choose a shampoo for pregnant women, which is safer.
Shampoo posture
Generally, it is better for pregnant mothers with short hair to wash their hair. You can sit in a chair just high enough to bend your knees by 90, lean forward and wash slowly. If the pregnant mother has long hair, it will take some energy to wash her hair. If she bends over for too long, not only will her waist be sore, but her stomach will be uncomfortable, and it may also cause uterine contraction. So this is one reason why many pregnant mothers don't want to have long hair.
Intimate suggestion 3: For most pregnant mothers, when washing their hair with a small belly, try to sit and wash, sit on the back of the chair and open your feet naturally. When flushing, their heads and upper bodies lean forward about 45, and their elbows can be supported on the washstand, bathtub or thighs. If you are used to standing in the shower and washing your hair, pregnant mothers must use anti-slip mats and handrails to prevent the center of gravity from falling.
Intimate suggestion 4: In the second and third trimester, it is very difficult for pregnant mothers to bend over and wash their hair. Pregnant mothers had better lie down and wash their hair, just like washing their hair in a barber shop. At this time, you can ask dad for help. For him, it was only a little effort, but the washing process became full of love.
Intimate suggestion 5: In addition, some pregnant mothers can choose to cut their hair short, which is easier to take care of, but if they cherish their long hair and are reluctant to cut it short, and the prospective father is busy, they can also bring their own shampoo to a nearby beauty salon for washing, which is convenient and easy.
Treatment of wet hair
How to deal with wet hair after shampooing is also one of the puzzles of many pregnant mothers. If you blow dry with a hair dryer, you are afraid that the hair dryer will radiate, which will have adverse effects on the fetus. Some hot air blown by the hair dryer contains granular asbestos fibers, which can enter the blood through the respiratory tract and skin of pregnant women and may induce fetal malformation. Some pregnant mothers have long hair, which is difficult to dry after washing their hair. Going out or sleeping with wet hair is not only uncomfortable, but also easy to catch cold, causing headaches or colds.
Intimate suggestion 6: Actually, dry hair cap can solve this problem. After shampooing, wear dry hair cap with strong water absorption, which can quickly absorb the wet water droplets on the hair. Let your hair dry a little after you untie dry hair cap. It should be noted that dry hair cap with antibacterial, hygienic and soft texture should be selected, and it should be cleaned and aired frequently.
Intimate suggestion 7: Under special circumstances, if you need to use a hair dryer, you can also adjust the hair dryer to the cold wind. When blowing hair, it is best to keep the hair dryer 10 cm away from the hair, and turn the hair by hand while blowing, so it is not necessary to completely blow dry the hair, and the hair tip part can be blown to half dry. It is best not to use the hair dryer more than three times a week, so as to avoid excessive evaporation of water in the hair, which will lead to split ends of dry hair.
Shampooing method
For pregnant mothers, the method of shampooing is also very particular. The following suggestions should be kept in mind by pregnant mothers.
Intimate suggestion 8: Before shampooing, comb your hair backwards with a wide-toothed comb to reduce the tangled pulling of your hair when shampooing. Then squeeze a little shampoo on your hands, knead out foam, then apply it evenly on your head, and gently rub the scalp and hair with your fingertips. Don't pour the shampoo directly on your hair, otherwise the concentration of shampoo will hurt your scalp and lead to hair loss. Shampooing can be carried out in two times, the first rough washing and the second fine washing. After using shampoo twice, wash it thoroughly with water. In addition, the water temperature of shampoo should be 37 ~ 40℃, and it should not be overheated or supercooled, nor should it be washed alternately with hot and cold water.
2. Suggestions for taking a bath during pregnancy
How do pregnant women take a bath?
For most people, taking a bath is just a common thing in daily life, so it may be superfluous to feel this topic. In fact, pregnant women need to pay special attention to some small things in life, including taking a bath. After a woman is pregnant, the endocrine in her body will change, which will affect her metabolism, and the enhancement of metabolism will make sweat glands and sebaceous glands secrete more vigorously, and the situation of pregnant women sweating oil will be more obvious than ordinary people. In order to keep skin clean and avoid contact with skin and urinary tract, pregnant women should take a bath more frequently than ordinary people. However, if pregnant women do not pay attention to the method when taking a bath, it is likely to affect their own and their baby's health. Therefore, it is a matter that needs special attention for pregnant women to take a bath. So how to bathe pregnant women is more scientific?
First of all, pregnant women should pay special attention to the water temperature when taking a bath, and it should not be too high, because modern medical research has found that excessive temperature will cause certain damage to the central nervous system of the fetus. The temperature should be adjusted below 39 degrees, and try to avoid going to the bathhouse to wash the warm pool or bath, so as not to drown the abdomen.
Secondly, pregnant women should also pay attention to the way of bathing, advocate standing in the shower and avoid sitting in the basin to take a bath. If pregnant women sit in the bath, bacteria and viruses in dirty water may enter women's private parts and uterus, causing inflammation, salpingitis or urinary tract infection in women's private parts, making pregnant women feel chills, high fever and abdominal pain. And increase the chances of taking medicine, which is more likely to lead to teratoma and premature delivery.
In addition, pregnant women should not take a bath for too long, and it is advisable to take a bath with hot water for no more than 20 minutes at a time. Being in a confined space such as a bathroom for a long time is prone to lack of oxygen due to reduced air and increased humidity, which not only makes pregnant women dizzy, but also is very unfavorable to fetal health. Therefore, pregnant women should strictly control the time when taking a bath.
Pregnant women can use shower gel when taking a bath.
After a woman is pregnant, the endocrine system will change, leading to accelerated metabolism and more exuberant secretion of sweat glands and sebaceous glands. Therefore, pregnant women will sweat more seriously than ordinary people, so they need to take a bath frequently to keep their skin clean and prevent skin infection and urinary tract infection. Generally speaking, using shower gel when taking a bath can better clean the sweat stains and grease on the body and play a more effective cleaning effect. However, pregnant women are in a special period after all. Will the use of shower gel affect the fetus? Doctors say pregnant women can use shower gel, but some details still need attention.
1, skin needs a process of adaptation to new skin care products and shower gel, so pregnant women are advised to use more products they usually use to avoid allergies caused by new products that are not suitable for their skin.
2. Under normal circumstances, human skin is weakly acidic. If you use products that are too alkaline, it will be irritating to the skin. It is recommended that pregnant women use mild washing products to avoid irritating the skin and causing skin sensitivity.
3. Pregnant women should avoid cleaning women's private parts when taking a bath with shower gel. If there are bacteria in women's private parts, it is easy to bring them into the uterine cavity.
4. The shower gel for pregnant women should be mild and neutral. If you are not at ease, you can use baby shower gel.
Bathing temperature of pregnant women
Taking a bath often helps to clean the skin and avoid skin infection and urinary tract infection, thus causing some diseases that are not conducive to your own health and the normal development of bags under your eyes. However, pregnant women need to pay special attention to bathing. The temperature of bath water is a detail that needs strict control. So what is the appropriate water temperature for pregnant women to take a bath?
The doctor said that the first thing pregnant women should pay attention to when taking a bath is the water temperature, and the temperature of bath water should not be too high. Modern medical research has found that excessive temperature will damage the central nervous system of the fetus to some extent. According to the determination, when the pregnant woman's body temperature is 65438 0.5 degrees higher than normal, the fetal brain cells may stop developing; If it rises by 3 degrees, it may kill brain cells, and the brain cell damage caused by it is mostly irreversible and permanent, leading to mental retardation of the fetus, and even microcephaly, cleft lip, external ear deformity and so on. , can also cause seizures. More notably, the higher the water temperature, the longer the duration and the heavier the damage. Therefore, the temperature of pregnant women's bath water should be adjusted below 39 degrees, and we should try to avoid going to the bathhouse to wash the warm pool or bath to avoid flooding the abdomen.
Of course, doctors do not recommend pregnant women to take a bath with cold water. If the bath water is too cold, the skin pores will suddenly close, the blood vessels will contract, which will reduce the support for the fetus, and the heat in the body will not be emitted, which will easily make pregnant women sick. Cold water stimulation will constrict your blood vessels and reduce the blood supply to the placenta. The baby has only one umbilical artery to get blood supply through the placenta, which will make the baby lack oxygen in the uterus. In addition, cold water stimulation can also promote uterine contraction, which is easy to cause abortion. Especially on hot nights, people often feel weak limbs, shoulder and knee pain and abdominal pain after taking a cold bath, and even become the inducing factors of arthritis and chronic gastrointestinal diseases. ...
The best time for pregnant women to take a bath
The endocrine changes of pregnant women will lead to enhanced metabolism, and the secretion of sebaceous glands and sweat glands is more vigorous than that of ordinary people. Pregnant women can keep their skin clean and avoid skin infection and urinary tract infection, thus causing some diseases that are not conducive to their own health and the normal development of eye bags. But that doesn't mean that the longer the bath, the better.
The doctor suggested that pregnant women should not take a bath for too long, and it is advisable to take a bath with hot water within 20 minutes. In the cold winter, due to the rising hot air and long-term closure, the air in the bathroom or shower cover will be less and less, and the temperature and humidity are relatively high, which is prone to insufficient oxygen supply. In addition, taking a hot bath and dilating blood vessels on the whole body will lead to insufficient blood supply to the pregnant woman's head, dizziness and fatigue. It will adversely affect the health of pregnant women in the long run. At the same time, the above situation caused by bathing with hot water for a long time is also easy to make the fetus lack oxygen, accelerate the fetal heart sound, and also affect the development of the fetal nervous system. Therefore, pregnant women must strictly control the time when taking a bath to avoid affecting their health and the normal development of the fetus because of too long time.
Precautions for pregnant women to take a bath
1, take a bath frequently and keep your skin clean.
After a woman is pregnant, many special physiological changes have taken place in her body, such as exuberant secretion of sweat glands and sebaceous glands, which is characterized by easy sweating and increased sweat and oily secretions from her head. If she doesn't wash her hair and bathe often, the dirt on her skin and head will affect the excretion function of pores, which may easily cause infection, itching, swelling or other skin diseases. Pregnant women need to take a bath more than ordinary people to keep their skin clean and prevent skin infection and urinary tract infection.
2, the shower is suitable
During pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, women's placental villi will produce a lot of estrogen and progesterone, and the amount of progesterone is greater than estrogen. Therefore, at this stage, the epithelial cells in female private parts shed more than proliferate, which will reduce the amount of lactic acid in female private parts, thus reducing the lethality of foreign bacteria. If you take a sitz bath, dirty water may enter female private parts after bathing, and the disease prevention ability of female private parts will be weakened, which may easily cause cervicitis, adnexitis, and even intrauterine or vulvar infection, leading to premature delivery. Therefore, pregnant women should not take a bath, let alone take a bath in public baths. It is wise to take a bath.
3. Pay attention to quantity and time
Although pregnant women need to take a bath frequently, it does not mean that the more times they take a bath, the better. Generally speaking, once a day is the most appropriate. In addition to frequency, bath time should also be strictly controlled. Taking a hot bath in a sealed bathroom for a long time is easy to make pregnant women dizzy and will also have a negative impact on fetal health. The time for pregnant women to take a bath is 15 ~ 20 minutes.
4, strictly control the water temperature
Modern medical research has found that excessive temperature will damage the central nervous system of the fetus to some extent. It is possible that fetal brain cells may stop developing, causing irreversible permanent damage, leading to fetal mental retardation, and in severe cases, microphthalmia, cleft lip, external ear deformity and so on. It may also cause seizures. Moreover, the higher the water temperature, the longer the duration and the heavier the damage. The doctor said that the water temperature should be controlled below 39℃ as far as possible, and 27℃ ~ 37℃ is appropriate.
