Bath Salts And Oils
|
I have heard that while I am pregnant I am more likely to get bladder, yeast and urinary tract infections. Is it safe for me to use bath salts and oils when I am trying to relax?

salt is forbiden to be used in pregnancy,that could create you some dilatatory contractions so it is not suitable for this stage.
Even hot tubs are forbiden now.You can have only showers, mild one. hot water is not good for pregnancy.
I experimented some things when I was pregnant in warm water, and I know hot will be more dangerous

In general, you should avoid sitting in baths that use salts as this can lower your blood pressure and make you feel faint. As for oils, only use pregnancy specific blends to add to your water. When you have finished bathing, use a feminine wash to clean yourself. Remember that aromatherapy oils can trigger labour, so always use a special mother to be blend.

In fact a pregnant woman is more sensitive and is easier to acquire allergies and infections than usual. Anyway bath salts and oils you use, whether they are good there is no fear for continued use to relax, unless you notice any skin disorder or some kind of alegergia. In this case and to consult your doctor.

Although many things can cause a yeast infection, whether pregnant or not, bath salts and oils are fine to use while you are pregnant. Your cervix is closed, so there is not going to be risk to your unborn child. So, go ahead and enjoy that much needed, relaxing bath!

The use of aromatherapy to relax a pregnant woman is not harmful for both the mother and the baby. However, there is a right way to use it to ensure proper safety. You can use it for bath, shower, massage or even spraying or using humidifier in a room. But never use it in a tub or Jacuzzi especially with bath salt. Also read the specifics to every oil before use as there are some which are not advisable for pregnant women.
