For many pregnant women, no matter what they eat or what they do every day, they need to be careful. So when they do anything, they should Baidu a little in advance. Can they take a hot spring in the early stage of pregnancy? Does hot spring have an impact on the fetus?
Can pregnant women soak in hot springs? The answer is yes! According to Zhang rongya, an obstetrician and gynaecologist at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, it's completely feasible for pregnant women to soak in hot springs, but it's better not to soak in hot springs for pregnant women who have taboos such as early pregnancy or premature birth. It is suggested that pregnant women, accompanied by their families, should choose places with fresh air, avoid excessive water temperature and soak for no more than 15-30 minutes. Long time hot spring is easy to lead to dehydration or lack of oxygen, so you need to replenish water in time after hot spring.
According to media reports, Japan's Ministry of environment officially decided in April this year to remove 'Pregnancy' from the taboo program of hot springs, because there is no research that hot springs can lead to abortion or premature birth of pregnant women. Japan enacted the hot spring law in July 1958, which stipulates that the hot spring facilities must announce the effect of the hot spring and the taboo of hot spring in the dressing room. In 1982, the relevant laws and regulations listed pregnancy (especially in the early stage and labor) and serious heart disease as unsuitable for hot spring. After the regulations were issued, many experts pointed out that hot springs for pregnant women would not affect their health, and asked the government to modify them. Today, pregnant women in Japan are finally able to enjoy hot springs.
Hot spring can not only relieve fatigue, relax tired and tense muscles, but also promote blood circulation of lower limbs, which is a good leisure and entertainment activity. However, in principle, it is recommended that pregnant women avoid hot springs in the early stage of pregnancy. If there are contraindications such as threatened abortion, threatened premature delivery, hyperemesis, placenta previa, placental abruption, premature rupture of membranes, myoma degeneration during pregnancy, pregnancy induced hypertension, vaginitis, heart disease, hyperthyroidism, skin damage, hot springs should be avoided. Healthy pregnant women, without the above taboos, can take a hot spring. However, the following precautions need to be noted:
Whether pregnant women can take hot springs depends on many factors.
First, whether the temperature and time are appropriate.
We know that fetal development needs a suitable environment, long-term high-temperature immersion is harmful to the fetus. If you feel the water temperature is hot, do not enter the water. It is better to approach the temperature. The water temperature should not exceed 40 ℃, and the time should be controlled as much as possible, not too long.
Second, whether the air is clean and circulating.
The air in most indoor hot spring places is relatively humid. In order to keep warm, the ventilation is often poor. The humid air is also easy to cause health hazards. In addition, the too closed humid environment is also easy to cause the expectant mother to gasp for breath, resulting in chest tightness and other reactions.
Third, whether the water quality is suitable.
Whether the water quality is clean or not is an important factor to be considered, and places with many people and miscellaneous soaking should be avoided as far as possible.
Fourth, whether the surrounding environment is safe.
For example, whether there are family members to accompany, whether there are too many people around, whether the ground is too slippery and prone to fall, etc.
Fifth, their own physical condition.
Generally speaking, the expectant mother in the early stage of pregnancy is better not to take hot springs. On the one hand, the fetus is more likely to be disturbed at this stage. On the other hand, the expectant mother's early pregnancy reaction during this period is also relatively large, prone to fatigue and adverse reactions. Of course, if you feel unwell at any stage of pregnancy, you should not take a hot spring. Of course, there are also some advantages of proper hot spring aiming at the mother, such as being able to relieve the fatigue and pain of the body, but it is necessary to pay special attention to the above points. In addition, it is necessary to pay special attention to the loss of water in the body caused by hot springs. It is better to supplement water in time. In addition, it is necessary to keep warm and add clothes in time after water comes out.
