During pregnancy, women should pay special attention to the baby's fetal movement. If the fetal movement exceeds 160, it is likely that there is fetal hypoxia and immediate medical attention is needed. Moreover, pregnant women should also avoid fatigue, staying up late, and other situations in their daily lives to prevent fetal hypoxia. So, is taking a bath stuffy and causing fetal hypoxia?
Pregnant women who feel suffocated while taking a shower may experience fetal hypoxia. Because pregnant women themselves have insufficient oxygen intake, the amount of oxygen delivered to the baby will decrease, leading to fetal hypoxia. Pregnant women should take a shower within 15 minutes because their bodies are weaker than those of ordinary people, and they are prone to experiencing hypoxia such as dizziness, palpitations, and chest tightness in the bathroom. In severe cases, this can cause the baby to suffocate due to intrauterine hypoxia. Pregnant women should not close doors and windows tightly when taking a shower, and should maintain ventilation. Moreover, if pregnant women do not close the door tightly while taking a shower, they can also seek timely help from their family members in case of slipping or other situations.
Many people like to take hot baths, but pregnant women should not take hot baths because it can dilate blood vessels and accelerate blood flow, which can have an impact on the health of the fetus. And when taking a shower, do not use the showerhead to rinse the abdomen for a long time, otherwise it may cause the temperature of the amniotic fluid to rise, which can harm the baby's living environment.
