It is not recommended for pregnant women in 6 months to take a bath, it may lead to infection and even cause fetal oxygen deprivation in serious cases, so it is recommended for pregnant women to choose a shower. The disadvantages of taking a shower for pregnant women are as follows: 1. Infection: Because the level of hormones in the body of pregnant women increases in the sixth month of pregnancy, resulting in increased vaginal secretions, coupled with the decline in resistance after pregnancy, the vaginal defense function decreases, at this time the vagina is connected to the outside world, if you take a shower, especially when the water is not clean, it is easy to cause the pathogenic bacteria inside the water into the vagina, which may lead to infection, vaginitis, and in serious cases It will be upstream infection, causing intrauterine infection, which may lead to premature birth, and even fetal death in the womb; 2, causing fetal hypoxia: 6 months of pregnant women in a hot bath, the whole body blood circulation will accelerate, resulting in the expansion of blood vessels throughout the body, which in turn makes the pregnant woman physical exertion, easy to cause fetal hypoxia in the womb. So 6 months pregnant women try not to take a bath, you can choose the shower bath, but should pay attention to the shower should not be too long, the water temperature is not too high. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest, avoid exertion and staying up late, eat easily digestible food, add more high-quality protein, take appropriate vitamins and trace elements, etc., which are beneficial to the growth and development of the fetus, and do prenatal checkups regularly.
