Hi everyone, sometimes I feel so tired during pregnancy that I just want to skip bathing. Is it okay if I occasionally stay unbathed during pregnancy, or is daily bathing very important? Just asking for comfort reasons.
Actually yaar, with the crazy heat and hormones, I wanted to bathe twice a day! Skipping baths can cause infections, so at least do a quick shower or sponge bath to stay clean.
I used to feel extremely exhausted due to my thyroid issues during pregnancy. But keeping clean is vital. Just take short, safe baths and make sure to visit your doctor regularly to monitor your energy levels.
Personally, I couldn't skip bathing because I used to feel so sweaty and hot all the time. But if you feel tired, a quick warm sponge bath can also help you feel fresh.
Maintaining hygiene is very important to avoid skin or urinary tract infections. If you have any dizziness or pain that makes standing for a bath difficult, please inform your gynac.
When I was staying with my parents, my mother always insisted on a warm bath daily to soothe body aches. It really relaxes the muscles, so try to take a gentle bath if you can.
