    　　What is the best way for pregnant women to take a bath? When taking a bath after pregnancy, it is best to take a shower. Bath baths and sitz baths are not advisable. Some pregnant women feel very tired after standing for a long time due to their heavy bodies, so they take a sitz bath to reduce physical fatigue. However, this way of bathing is very unfavorable for pregnant women, and can cause severe premature birth . This is because:

    　　Under normal circumstances, female The vagina maintains a certain level of acidity to prevent the proliferation of germs. This physiological phenomenon is closely related to the estrogen and progesterone secreted by the ovary. When women are pregnant, especially in late pregnancy, the placental villi produce large amounts of estrogen and progesterone, and the amount of progesterone produced is greater than estrogen. Therefore, at this stage, the shedding of vaginal epithelial cells is greater than the proliferation, which will reduce the amount of lactic acid in the vagina, thereby reducing the lethality of foreign bacteria.

    　　If you use sitz bath for a long time during pregnancy, the dirty water flowing during bathing may enter the vagina. When the vaginal disease prevention ability is weakened during pregnancy, it is easy to cause Cervicitis , adnexitis, and even intrauterine or vulvar infection causing premature birth. Therefore, expectant mothers are reminded that in order to healthy , please give up sitting baths, let alone bathing in public baths. 》》》》 Must eat for pregnant women13grow food
