Was using it before regularly but now i stopped because not sure if its safe now. Thoda confused hu honestly. Anyone continued using intimate wash during pregnancy?
Be careful, sweetie. Our body is very sensitive during pregnancy, and intimate washes can sometimes trigger infections. Just stick to clean water or ask your doctor first.
Yaar, actually pregnancy me plain water is the best and safest option. Using chemical washes might cause dryness or irritation down there, so check with your doc first.
With twins, the physical pressure and discharge were next level, but my doctor still said 'no' to chemical washes! Just change your cotton undergarments twice a day, it really helps.
My doctor explained that using intimate washes can disrupt the natural lactobacilli in the vagina, increasing the risk of yeast infections during pregnancy. She strictly recommended using only clean water.
The vaginal area is self-cleaning and pregnancy hormones already alter your pH. It is usually best to avoid intimate washes like V Wash unless your gynac specifically prescribes it.
I asked my doctor this when I was having extra discharge, and she said normal water is safest. Honestly, I'm just focusing on drinking coconut water and eating hot samosas right now!
Unless you have a severe infection and your gynecologist has prescribed a specific wash, I suggest avoiding OTC vaginal washes entirely. Lukewarm water is the gold standard.
I remember worrying so much about clean hygiene down there when I was pregnant. Please don't stress, just washing with plain water is perfectly normal and safe for your baby.
