During pregnancy, a woman's body undergoes many hormonal changes. These can lead to extra sweating, discharge in the vagina, less lubrication, nipple leaks and more, varying in outcomes and intensity in each pregnant mom
Hygiene Tips To Follow During Pregnancy

#1 Keep Handwash or Sanitizer Handy:

Varied pathogens enter our bodies through the mouth and nose, so wash hands every time - before and after using the toilet, before and after eating and also when you return home or touch someone suffering from cold or when you come in touch of dirt.

#2 Practice Vaginal Hygiene:

Pregnant women experience increased vaginal discharge which sometimes stimulates bacterial growth. It can lead to 'bacterial vaginatis' and, if left untreated, can cause complications for the mother and get passed onto the infant during delivery. A simple solution to maintaining your personal hygiene is wearing only pure cotton undergarments, avoiding very tight jeans or pants to maintain air circulation between your clothing and skin. This will keep your vagina dry and limit bacterial growth.

#3 No to Douching

Practice of cleaning vagina aggressively with specialised products is a no-no since any change in the delicate chemical balance in the vagina and the vaginal flora can create more trouble than good. If you notice an odour or unpleasantness, it is best to consult your gynaecologist.

#4 Maintain Oral Hygiene
