Well, let's meet my "wonderful" friends. They are peaceful, but sometimes the chalk “Mashenka” cannot calm them down
1) the most, at times, infuriating appearance... for some reason it shows its activity when visiting... I cannot drink anything from cups and mugs except tea and coffee. All other drinks require a glass. And it is imperative that the cup/mug/glass is dry
2) this species is peaceful and does not annoy anyone. I cannot eat wet fruits, vegetables, berries, or lettuce. I wipe everything down. The taste of water prevents you from enjoying the taste of vegetables and fruits.
3) I don’t finish eating after the children and stop eating if someone (even if it’s the most beloved and dearest person) gets into my plate. If you want to try what's on my plate, no problem. Give me your plate, I'll put it for you myself. But no need to climb. I also don’t let anyone take a bite of my apple.
4) You cannot take my things without permission. None! Even an elastic band lying under the table. No, it’s not lying around - it’s lying there and it’s mine. Do you need my pen and paper - that's that bullshit - ask!
5) I don’t like being forced to do something, they really put pressure on me... I’ll do it, but I’ll put a big tick in it. Yes, I have a notebook where I put ticks (hand smiley face)
6) Food should not be in the refrigerator... therefore, if I’m not at work, I cook a lot (5-6 times) a day in portions. Cooked, ate, washed the dishes. The refrigerator contains only yogurt, milk, juices, water, cheese, vegetables and fruits.
7) My stupidest cockroach is “right now”... I fight with it all the time... My husband used to get big eyes and didn’t understand what difference it made when the tea was made. But the tea, which was made 5 minutes after my request, was poured into the sink... Honestly, I’m making a lot of efforts to destroy this barbel!
Tell us about your "comrades". Are you friends? Ways to fight? Who wins?
Happy spring exacerbation, lady. Let the weather, mood, feelings be warm and joyful.

Today we summed up the results of a wonderful vote for the title of the most handsome man. BUT - most of them are “imported” comrades! And I want to support our relatives and loved ones, Russian and Soviet men, and add additional nominations. After all, beauty is an advantage for ladies, and men differ in other qualities too!
Add your favorites. And I'm starting!

There were already many topics with photos of cats on the forum. But today is their day, let's show our favorite pets once again.
This is our Princess Grassie. At the end of September she was picked up on the street. The former indoor cat spent about 8-9 months on the street. In the first photo, this is how we picked her up. It's on others now. Consider me bragging. I am very happy for her and us that we found each other.
Post photos of your pets and tell interesting things about them.

Lioness Passionate

Have you heard that a festive concert took place in St. Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg on February 23? The last song was “On a submarine with an atomic motor.” It was written back in 1980 by the bard A. Kozlovsky. Then it was perceived as a joke and even a Soviet satire... But now, even in such a super-serious performance, after “shaking the rockets” it’s not funny. I definitely don't...
Here's a snippet of the song:
On a nuclear-powered submarine
Yes, with a dozen bombs worth a hundred megatons
Crossed the Atlantic and called the gunner:
“Point, I say, Petrov, at the city of Washington!”
Tru-la-la, Tru-la-la,
I can do everything for three rubles!
Hello new land
The enemy!
By the way, the performers and organizers explain that this is a joke! And I’m thinking, maybe our modernity (and laws) will then be perceived as: “So this is a joke! Well, you fools, did you believe it?!”...and a slash for scaring!)))

***
Well, after all, this is a culture-multur. Will we also strengthen cultural values? Let's be "lousy intellectuals" today?
The cheesecake is bookish, humorous. My “turning point” books:
-Lord of the Rings. D. Tolkien. 1954 (taught me to love the world in all its glory)
-Blindness of J. Saramago (taught him to protect and defend himself)
-Where dreams lead. R. Matheson.1978 (taught the infinity of being)
-The Master and Margarita. M. Bulgakov. 1940 (taught to love by giving)
-1984. D. Orwell 1949 (taught to be free)

How did the “letters” influence you? Favorite works, quotes are welcome... and maybe even unloved ones: Here is “100 Years of Solitude” by Ha. Ga. Marquez is not my book. Well, who was the “killer”, I still read it, climbed onto last pages...)))

Surely you know that taking a warm bath has a relaxing and calming effect, giving a pleasant feeling of peace, relieving pain and fatigue... But did you know that there are a number of contraindications to taking such water procedures? And what even healthy person it is recommended to adhere to certain rules so as not to harm yourself, your loved one. What about your two favorites? Let's find out whether you can wash in the bathroom during pregnancy and how to do it as safely as possible.

Warm bath in early and late pregnancy: 1st, 2nd, 3rd trimester

Well, who among us doesn’t like to immerse ourselves in a warm bath filled with foam, with the addition of aromatic oils, herbal decoctions, flower petals, milk, salt, or even just nothing?.. And lie down for at least half an hour, completely relaxed, reading a book or watching a movie... Or make a mask for the face and hair, tidy up your heels, scrub your body...

This may seem strange to some, but there are such women (namely those who do not like to “roll around” in a hot bath) great multitude. They prefer to take a shower, and in this sense there are practically no prohibitions during pregnancy.

But if you are one of those who like long bath procedures, then you should definitely read this article.

A warm bath really has a lot of positive properties and can have not only a pleasant, but even a healing effect on the human body:

• relaxes, relieves fatigue, helps restore vitality and energy;
• calms, eliminates the effects of stress, nervous shocks, emotional outbursts;
• reduces pain in the legs, back, joints and muscles, headache, relieves spasms;
• Helps cleanse the body of toxins and excess fluid;
• improves condition skin etc.

Of course, a pregnant woman can not only get great pleasure from taking a bath, but also find a lot of benefits in this procedure, especially if she suffers from swelling, irritability, migraines, hemorrhoids, or experiences pain in the legs and back. There is an opinion that in this way you can even improve the functioning of the large intestine, that is, make it easier to empty if you are prone to constipation.

Many pregnant women on forums, sharing their impressions and opinions, convince others that while taking a warm, relaxing bath, the baby in the tummy calms down and does not disturb the mother with its excessive activity. Thus, women conclude that dolls like it too.

Great news for those who cannot imagine their life without taking baths: neither in the first, nor in the second, nor even in the third trimester are they contraindicated if the health of the expectant mother is in perfect order and the pregnancy proceeds without complications.

The news is worse: it is possible that many significant adjustments will now have to be made to the process of carrying out your favorite water ritual, which not everyone will like...

But the most unpleasant and most important thing: you will have to give up baths completely if you identify at least one contraindication to this, which we will talk about later.

Hot bath during pregnancy: consequences

The most important condition taking a bath during pregnancy - compliance temperature regime and duration of the procedure. Even if the expectant mother does not have a single medical contraindication for such water procedures, the water temperature should not exceed 37-38 degrees C, and the duration of the session should not exceed 10-15 minutes. Doctors do not advise anyone to take very hot baths, because they carry a number of unpleasant consequences for health:

• create a large load on the human cardiovascular system;
• can sharply increase or decrease blood pressure;
• can worsen health in a number of existing diseases (in particular, inflammation in the pelvic organs, diabetes, varicose veins).

As for pregnant women specifically, doctors specifically highlight the following risks:

• threat of miscarriage;
• placenta accreta;
• disturbances in fetal development;
• increased load on the heart.

And therefore in general recommendations for pregnant women (and the popular doctor Komarovsky speaks about this, among other things), it is noted that for the entire period of bearing a child (with the exception of post-term pregnancy, when it is necessary to stimulate labor), taking a shower is much more preferable than taking a bath.

But if the expectant mother has at least one contraindication to taking a warm (and even more so a hot) bath, then the doctor’s position becomes categorical: under no circumstances is it worth the risk! We are talking about the following conditions:

• Threat of miscarriage or premature birth, incipient miscarriage.
• Varicose veins, risk of developing thrombophlebitis.
• Heart failure.
• Tendency to high or low blood pressure.
• Diabetes mellitus.
• Urogenital infections.
• Gynecological diseases.

You should not take a bath during pregnancy if there is bloody (even brown) vaginal discharge, lower abdominal pain or lower back pain. There is an opinion that hot bath useful for cystitis, but everything is just the opposite: with this disease, you can take a bath only if the water temperature in it does not exceed 37.5 degrees C.

Under no circumstances should you take a bath while later pregnancy, if the mucous plug and amniotic fluid have receded: the entrance to the baby remains open to infections that can easily penetrate it during bathing.

Is it possible to take a bath during pregnancy?

Don’t get the impression that taking a bath for a pregnant woman is completely prohibited. Not at all! You just need to find out from your gynecologist whether you personally have any contraindications to this, and if not, you can enjoy water sessions until childbirth. But this should be done now thoughtfully, rationally, wisely. Irresponsibility and frivolity can cost a lot. In order not to blame yourself for anything later, take a bath during pregnancy, strictly following the rules and recommendations:

1. The water temperature should not exceed 37-38°C (as an exception, 40°C is acceptable if you are feeling well, but the duration of the session in this case must be halved). The best temperature for taking baths during this period is considered to be 30-36°C - depending on preferences and well-being.
2. The duration of the procedure should not exceed 15 minutes: the warmer the water, the less time you can spend in it.
3. Do not completely immerse yourself in water: upper part The chest and heart area should always be above the water. From time to time you should remove your hands from the water.
4. You need to be extremely careful with various additives in water: aromatic oils can now cause severe allergic reactions, so each of them should first be tested separately for tolerance. The same goes for herbal infusions. It is also better to avoid synthetic foaming agents during this period. But a bath with natural sea salt during pregnancy will only be beneficial.
5. Do not take a bath if there is no one else at home except you.
6. Leave the door slightly open (never latch it closed).
7. Take a bottle of fresh water with you.
8. Make some for yourself silicone mat to avoid slipping and risk of injury.
9. Stop the procedure and leave the bathroom immediately if you feel the slightest ailment or discomfort.
10. Try to avoid sudden temperature changes and cool down gradually.
11. Do not make sudden movements either in the bathroom or after leaving it.
12. Do not overuse: take a bath no more than twice a week.

Before immersing yourself in the water in the bath, it is recommended to wash off the sweat and dirt from yourself in the shower for greater hygiene of the upcoming procedure.

Bath during pregnancy: reviews

Perhaps some readers will be glad that a bath during pregnancy is not prohibited. But others will be indignant and will protest: they are used to steaming for almost an hour, and not in 38-degree water, but in 40-42-degree water at least! And we don’t intend to deny ourselves such pleasure, no matter what.

If you visit any forum where this topic is discussed, you will come across multiple reviews that even in the position of lovers of taking hot baths, they did not give up their favorite habit and at the same time safely delivered their children to term. This is really possible! But a very sad outcome is also possible, when you have to pay very dearly for your own weakness. And it is hardly possible to predict with certainty exactly how it will happen.

In any case, dear mothers, all responsibility lies in in this case rests solely with you. Accept right decisions, listen to yourself, enjoy water procedures, but still, don’t take risks: at the slightest doubt or at least feeling unwell limit yourself to a shower. Let's not forget that a hot bath is one of the most effective ways abortion at home.

Be smart and healthy! And let your baths bring you only benefits!

Especially for - Margarita SOLOVIOVA

During the period of bearing a baby, every woman should be very attentive to everything that happens to her. After all, the most harmless things at first glance can threaten not only the health, but also the life of her baby. In this article we will talk about whether pregnant women can take a bath.

About cleanliness

First of all, it must be said that while carrying a child, a woman with special attention must take care of yourself. Compliance with personal hygiene rules is what is important. Indeed, during pregnancy the following nuances are possible:

1. Some women experience increased sweating (especially in the last months of pregnancy).
2. The amount of vaginal discharge increases significantly.
3. The number of urination processes increases.

All these actions can cause discomfort and even cause unpleasant odor. Therefore, women should wash as often as possible (especially wash themselves). In addition, this will be an excellent measure to prevent the development of various fungal diseases. However, what is better to give preference to: a shower or a filled bath?

Main cons

As soon as a woman finds out that she is “in a position,” a wall of human speculation and prejudice begins to grow around her. It is even interesting that some “old school” experts will also agree with the following statements. So, why shouldn’t pregnant women take a bath (according to homegrown experts)? There are several reasons:

1. Risk of infection. Pathogenic bacteria and microorganisms can enter the expectant mother’s body from water, which can lead to the development of serious diseases.
2. Taking a bath can cause miscarriage.
3. There is also an opinion that a warm bath can cause premature birth.

A simple rebuttal

However, are these statements true? I would like to understand this in more detail. As for infection, there is a chance of catching some kind of disease from tap water unlikely. It should be remembered that the uterus is surrounded by a mucus plug, and the baby is surrounded by amniotic fluid. All these elements are designed to protect the baby from the effects of various pathogenic bacteria. That is why this statement is not true. As for premature birth or miscarriage, in extreme cases, hot water can provoke them. However, there is no harm in taking a normal, warm bath to the expectant mother and it definitely won’t harm the baby. Or rather, on the contrary, it will become an excellent means of relaxation.

About the benefits of a bath

Can pregnant women take a bath? The answer will be clearly affirmative. In addition, it is even beneficial for the body of the mother and her baby. What good can warm water do?

1. Taking a warm bath is great for relieving swelling (a problem that pregnant women face, especially in the last months). It is important that it improves blood flow to the legs.
2. Warm water improves blood circulation perfectly. And this is useful not only for the mother, but also for her baby, because it is through the bloodstream that the baby receives not only oxygen, but also all the nutrients for its own growth and development.
3. Reducing lower back pain. A warm bath can also have a relaxing effect. And this is very important for women, especially in the last months of bearing a baby.
4. Relieving tension.

Doctors' opinion

What will doctors answer if they are asked whether pregnant women can take a bath? They will definitely give an affirmative answer. Moreover, modern doctors even advise pregnant women to do water aerobics or just visit the pool. As for open reservoirs, doctors also say that you can swim there. However, if there is permission from the sanitary and epidemiological service (all equipped recreation areas near open water bodies must have this permission).

About supplements

When figuring out whether pregnant women can take a bath, it’s worth spending a few words on the various supplements that ladies love to use. As for bubble bath, you can use it without fear. However, special care should be taken when using aromatic oils. Before using them, it is best to consult your doctor. After all, some aromatic oils may contain allergens that will harm the child. Among the dangerous ones are the following extracts:

1. Cedar.
2. Basilica.
3. Thyme.
4. Patchouli.
5. Rosemary.
6. Cypress.

The perfect bath

So, we found out that pregnant women can take a bath. And even necessary! However, it is worth giving a couple of tips on how to do it correctly. What is the ideal bathroom for an expectant mother?

1. The temperature of the water in the bath should not be higher than 37 degrees, i.e. body temperature. This best option, which will not cause any harm at all.
2. Don't be afraid of infection.
3. Particular care must be taken when handling various aromatic additives. During the period of gestation, it is still better to completely exclude them.
4. Instead of shower gel, it is best for the expectant mother to use baby soap. It has a pleasant smell and does not cause allergic reactions at all.
5. After taking a bath, a woman should apply a moisturizer to her body. Particular attention should be paid to the tummy.
6. It is best to place a rubber mat on the bottom of the bathtub for safety reasons. This will help the expectant mother better maintain her balance on a slippery surface. Also, do not refuse help when getting out of the bath.
7. Can pregnant women take a bath? Certainly! However, it is best to do this for no longer than 15 minutes. This optimal time, which is enough for the body to fully rest.
8. While lying in the bath, the expectant mother should remember that her shoulders should remain above the water. This will help avoid overheating of the body.

By following these tips, the expectant mother will be able to get only advantages from the bathing procedure and will not harm her health at all (as well as the well-being of her baby).

About the hot bath

What can you answer to ladies who ask the question of whether pregnant women can take hot bath or not? Absolutely not! This can be very dangerous (unlike taking a warm bath). What problems might this cause?

1. Placental abruption (resulting in miscarriage).
2. Premature birth (even at the smallest stage).
3. Bleeding.

It is also worth saying that taking a bath that is too hot is one of the traditional methods getting rid of unwanted pregnancy. However, most often it does not work, and the expectant mother’s body is endangered. This is why pregnant women should not take a hot bath. After all, this can cause the loss of a child at any stage of gestation.

When is it better to stop taking a bath?

Can pregnant women take a bath? Every woman should not hesitate to ask her doctor this question. After all, there are situations and problems in which this action is contraindicated. What could it be?

1. Periodic bleeding. If the expectant mother suffers from this problem, she should completely refuse to take baths, even warm ones.
2. If a woman’s water breaks, she is strictly forbidden to take a bath.
3. If this procedure causes discomfort in a pregnant woman, it is best to refuse it.

In addition, there are certain diseases that can cause refusal of water procedures. It is best to ask a gynecologist about this.

Alternative

Having figured out when and why pregnant women should not take a bath, it is worth saying that there is no need to despair in this case. After all, there is an excellent alternative - a shower. Even if it is not as pleasant as lying in warm water, the procedure of taking a shower fulfills its functions to the fullest.

1. It is best to use as a hygiene procedure warm shower(its temperature is approximately 38-39 degrees). It also has a calming effect.
2. Cold shower (less than twenty degrees). Can only be used short term. Has an excellent tonic effect.
3. Hot shower (40 °C and above). Contraindicated. It is also possible to use it for a short time (like a cold shower) - dousing. In this case, the water should fall exclusively on the back, but not on the stomach.
4. Contrast shower (alternating supply of hot and cold water). It can be taken if the woman has absolutely no health problems and the baby is developing normally. A short duration and avoidance of water jets on the stomach are the key to the success of this invigorating procedure.

Herbal baths

We have already clarified that the following statement is a myth: pregnant women should not take a bath. It is also worth mentioning that various herbs can be added to the prepared font. However, this must be done with caution and with the permission of a doctor. An excellent means of relaxation, and to some extent even treatment, are herbal baths. To do this, you can brew steep tea and simply add it to water. You can make a collection of herbs, place it in a bag and attach it to the tap so that the water that is collected passes through this bag. Ideal option preparing a decoction for the expectant mother to take a bath:

• You need to take about 2-3 tablespoons of herbs (or a collection of herbs, if desired), pour them with 2-3 liters of boiling water. Next, everything needs to be put on water bath and boil for about 15 minutes. After this, the decoction is ready. You just need to strain it and add it to the water.

Salt baths

How else can pregnant women take a bath? Why not lie down in sea ​​salt? However, this must also be done with the permission of the gynecologist. This bath can calm you down nervous system, relax muscles, relieve swelling and even remove toxins from the body.

The question of whether water treatments are available to a pregnant woman worries expectant mothers. Someone has heard that you should not take a bath, someone knows about the dangers of a hot or contrast shower. However, everyone knows how beneficial water aerobics is for a pregnant woman. In addition, today there is even a fashion to give birth in water or spend the first stage of labor during contractions in the bathroom. How to wash during pregnancy, is it possible to swim in the sea or river, and what should the expectant mother remember when she takes water procedures?

Bath during pregnancy

A bath is an excellent relaxing tool; in winter it allows you to warm up and prevents colds; in summer it gives you the opportunity to enjoy the coolness. However, taking a bath during pregnancy has a number of features that are worth remembering so as not to harm the health of the mother and the unborn baby.

The water temperature in the bathroom should be comfortable - 36-38 degrees. Hot bath, especially early stages, can cause miscarriage or lead to the development of birth defects, cold water causes muscle tension and also has negative effects. You should not lie in the bathroom for too long during pregnancy; it is better to limit the duration of the procedure to 15-20 minutes.

A bath during pregnancy can be both relaxing and tonic. Thus, a bath with chamomile during pregnancy calms the nerves and has a positive effect on the condition of the skin, relieves inflammation. A salt bath during pregnancy, if we are talking about sea salt with natural additives, has an aromatherapy effect and can be both invigorating and soothing. The same effect is had by pine baths during pregnancy.

Radon or turpentine baths during pregnancy, it should be taken very carefully and, preferably, under the supervision of an experienced doctor in a special medical center. Only in this case can you be sure that they will not render negative impact. But a bath with mustard during pregnancy is strictly contraindicated, as it can cause a miscarriage.

Shower during pregnancy

A hygienic shower during pregnancy can be taken 1-2 times a day. During the procedure, you can use shower gels, however, it is better without strong odors, since the mother’s sense of smell is heightened while waiting for the baby. You should not use scrubs or a hard washcloth, so as not to have a local irritating effect on the skin. Contrast showers are definitely prohibited, even if you regularly exercised before pregnancy.

Can pregnant women swim?

Doctors do not prohibit swimming during pregnancy in the sea, lake or river, as well as doing water aerobics in the pool. The mucus plug, which forms at the beginning of pregnancy, reliably protects the uterus from the penetration of water, and therefore infections and pathogens. Swimming in open water is prohibited only if there is a risk of miscarriage, since swimming is associated with physical activity, as well as immediately before childbirth, when the mucus plug has already come off. You should not experiment if you suspect leakage of amniotic fluid. Otherwise, a pregnant woman can enjoy water procedures without restrictions and at your own discretion.

The question of whether pregnant women can lie in the bathtub or swim in the sea can be answered in the affirmative. Moreover, a bath during pregnancy can have a positive effect on the mother's condition, calm her nerves and relieve pain in the back or legs. However, you should always remember some simple rules and take care of yourself and your unborn baby.

The question of taking a bath during pregnancy is considered one of the most popular. It is impossible to answer this question unequivocally, since there are many factors on which permission for this procedure depends.

At the beginning of pregnancy, the body begins to rebuild and change dramatically. During this period, there may be a sharp change in mood, causeless fatigue, and drowsiness. Taking a warm bath before bed will help calm and relax your excited body as much as possible.

In order to take a bath in early pregnancy and avoid unpleasant consequences, you need to consider several important rules:

1. The water temperature should not exceed 37 degrees, otherwise you risk overheating.
2. It is recommended to lie in a warm bath for no longer than 15 minutes.
3. All safety precautions for exiting the bath should be observed. Prepare a rubber mat; when leaving the bath, be sure to hold on to something so as not to slip or hit yourself.
4. In order to relax a tired body as much as possible, you can use various aromatic oils, such as orange, tea tree or eucalyptus.
5. Plan your bath at a time when one of your relatives is in the house. If you find it difficult to get out of the bath or experience sudden dizziness, you will receive help.

In late pregnancy, there are also rules for taking a bath that must be followed:

1. Before lying in a bathtub filled with water, it is necessary to carry out a hygiene procedure. This is due to the fact that the existence of even the most minor infection in a woman’s vagina can lead to its further development while taking a bath. You should also thoroughly wash and disinfect the bathtub.
2. The water temperature should not exceed 37 degrees. The ideal water temperature for a pregnant woman is considered to be 30 degrees. A hotter bath can significantly harm the process of bearing a fetus at any period of pregnancy.
3. Take care of your own safety. During pregnancy, injuries and bruises are contraindicated; lay down a rubber mat, and also hold on to the handrails or any other devices to avoid slipping.

5. Do not submerge yourself completely in water. The chest and heart area should be kept out of the aquatic environment, otherwise problems with the cardiovascular system may occur, which will harm the baby.
6. Beware of overheating. Hands and feet should be periodically pulled out of the water and allowed to cool.
7. Don't lock yourself in the bathroom. If you feel uneasy, those around you will be able to come to your aid.
8. Don't linger in the bath. To carry out the procedure, it is enough to lie in the water for 10-15 minutes, regardless of the stage of pregnancy. You can sit in the shower a little longer.
