I used to use an intimate wash regularly before and now im unsure if i should continue during pregnancy. With all the extra discharge i feel like i need it but dont want to disturb anything down there. Anyone know if its fine to use?
I'd say be careful, harsh washes can trigger infections which u really dont want in pregnancy. If u notice any itching, smell or unusual discharge, dont self treat with washes, see ur gynac. For daily, water and a mild option only with doctors okay.
Honestly plain water is enough for that area in pregnancy, thats what my gynac told me. If u want to use a wash, use a mild ph balanced one and avoid anything harsh or fragranced. But check the brand with ur doctor to be safe.
Beta I just used normal water and kept it clean and dry, no special wash needed. If u really want one ask ur doctor which is okay. Keeping it simple is best, dont use strong soaps there.
My doctor said the area is self cleaning and over washing can disturb the natural balance and cause infections. She allowed a gentle external wash occasionally but said no internal douching at all. Water is mostly enough.
