Bad cold and blocked nose since 2 days, im 4 months pregnant. I usually take face steam for relief but not sure if its okay now. Anyone took steam during pregnancy?
Oh, this is something I overthought a lot too, yaar! I was always worried about anything that could potentially harm the baby. My gynac advised against full body steam baths or saunas because they can increase your core body temperature, which is not good. A light facial steam for a cold might be okay, but please confirm with your doctor first. Don't take any risks.
Hmm, with double trouble inside, I was always extra cautious. My gynac actually told me to avoid very hot baths and steam rooms, like proper saunas. A mild steam for your face for cold is probably fine, but don't overdo it or stay too long. You don't want to raise your body temp too much.
Ji, maine bhi suna hai ki pregnancy mein bohot garam pani se nahana ya steam lena avoid karna chahiye. I'm not pregnant yet, but I'm trying, toh yeh sab sunke main bhi careful rehti hu. Main bhi apne gynac se puchhna chahti thi. Maybe light steam for cold is okay, but not for long, I guess.
Ho na, for a blocked nose or mild cold, thoda steam lena is generally okay. But avoid going into very hot saunas or steam rooms which raise your body temperature a lot. Just a gentle steam with plain water is fine. But still, always good to quickly check with your gynac once, just to be on the safe side.
After going through IVF, I was told to be very careful about everything, including body temperature. My doctor advised me to completely avoid saunas, hot tubs, or prolonged steam baths. The general idea is to prevent your body temperature from rising too much, which can sometimes be risky. For any specific need, always check with your gynac, they know best for your unique situation.
