After pregnancy, the secretion of estrogen and progesterone in the body increases, which can also make the skin relatively more sensitive at this stage. Therefore, some women may consider using mild and less irritating shower products during regular bathing. So, can pregnant women use baby shower gel to bathe?
1. Pregnant women can choose to use baby shower gel for bathing. Because baby shower gel contains relatively fewer chemical components and has a milder formula, it is less irritating to the skin. After pregnancy, women's skin is also more sensitive. In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, due to the increase of stretch marks, local skin itching symptoms often occur. Using baby shower gel can also avoid excessive stimulation to the skin.
2. However, due to the gentle formula of baby shower gel, the cleaning power may also be weak, so adults may feel that the cleaning power is not enough when using it. Moreover, pregnant women are prone to sweating more due to increased blood volume after pregnancy. If you feel that the cleaning is not clean enough, you can purchase some shower products specifically for pregnant women, which are relatively more suitable for pregnant women to use.
3. In addition, pregnant women should not take a shower for too long, as the bathroom during bathing is often well sealed and the oxygen content in the air is relatively low. If the shower time is too long, it is easy to experience adverse conditions such as chest tightness and hypoxia. Therefore, it is recommended to control the shower time at around half an hour.
