The time of pregnancy is very delicate for any woman. During this time, even the slightest carelessness can prove harmful to the health of both mother and child. Especially the things used during this period affect health to a great extent. In such a situation, there is a need to be careful while eating and using things during pregnancy.
In this article, we are talking about some such things whose use during pregnancy can prove harmful. We talked to Lucknow's gynecologist Dr. RekhaYadav about this and are sharing the information received from her with you here.
DrRekhaYadav says that during pregnancy, hormonal changes occur rapidly in the body, due to which the body becomes extremely sensitive. Due to this sensitivity, the body of a pregnant woman reacts differently to various things including food items. Sometimes this reaction can be fatal, which can hurt the health of the child in the womb.
Therefore, such reactive things should be used only with caution. Let us know in detail about the use of such things and their harmful effects.
Consumption of food supplements
It is common to use food supplements during pregnancy to have a healthy child, but some women start taking supplements even without a doctor's advice. Whereas doing so is very wrong from a health point of view. Doctors advise you to take any supplements only based on your physical examination. Therefore, start taking any kind of supplements only after taking the doctor's advice.
Use of Antibiotics
The use of antibiotics is also not considered safe during pregnancy, especially after the third month of pregnancy, the use of antibiotics is considered harmful. However, according to health experts, not every antibiotic is fatal for pregnancy, but some antibiotics are also safe. This type of antibiotic can be used in case of serious health problems.
It is difficult in itself to identify the appropriate antibiotic for a pregnant woman. Therefore, before using such medicines, definitely consult a doctor.
Use of Paint and Distemper
During pregnancy, a pregnant woman should use paint and distemper wisely. Many types of dangerous chemicals are found in paint and distemper, which can be harmful to the pregnant woman as well as the child in the womb. Therefore, it would be better that you stay away from tasks like painting and cleaning walls.
Use of Fairness cream
The use of beauty products containing chemicals during pregnancy can also prove to be quite harmful. Especially hydroquinone used in fairness cream is harmful to the child. In such a situation, before using any cream, be sure to know about the ingredients used in it. For this, a doctor's consultation can be very useful.
Use of Hair colour
Ammonia is found in most hair dyes used to blacken hair. While ammonia is directly harmful to the skin, it also hurts the health of the child in the womb.
Use of Perfume or deodorant
The use of perfume or deodorant can also be harmful to a pregnant woman. Many such harmful chemicals are found in perfumes which can have a bad effect on the health of the unborn child. For example, due to the alcohol present in perfume, there may be a problem of birth defects in the child. At the same time, phthalates found in perfume can cause respiratory and skin allergies in a pregnant woman.
Use of Electronic items
There is a need to be careful while using electronic items during pregnancy. Especially there is a need to avoid using things which emit rays, such as mobile, TV and other electronic gadgets. Such electronic gadgets can affect the health of your unborn child. Therefore, use them limitedly or only when needed.
