Ghar pe everyone keeps telling me na to wash my hair on certain days when im pregnant. I feel so sticky and just want a proper bath yaar. Is this an actual thing or just an old belief?
Don't listen to all these old superstitions, sweetie. Washing your hair is completely safe and actually helps you feel fresh and relaxed. Just use lukewarm water so you don't catch a cold, and take it easy.
Washing hair is perfectly fine, just try using a mild or herbal shampoo to avoid strong chemical smells if you have nausea. But yes, if you ever feel dizzy or have severe back pain while bathing, please check with your doctor immediately.
Having PCOS made me doubt literally everything during my pregnancy, even washing my hair. But after researching, I found out it's completely safe. Just don't bend down too much if you have back pain, sit on a plastic stool and wash.
While hair washing is generally just a hygiene thing, if you have any high-risk conditions or dizziness, you should ask your doctor. My gynac told me to avoid very hot water baths, so do check with yours once.
I was so scared of doing anything wrong after my previous loss, I even feared taking a shower. But hair washing is absolutely safe for the baby. Just be careful not to slip in the bathroom, maybe use a non-slip mat.
I totally understand how overwhelming all these rules can feel when you are carrying your precious little baby. Honestly, washing your hair is perfectly fine and actually a great way to wash away the day's stress. Do whatever makes you feel clean and happy, dear.
I was so worried about catching a cold and that affecting the baby, so I used to overthink hair wash days! But I made sure to dry my hair immediately with a dryer on cool setting. It's totally safe, just dry it quickly so u don't fall sick.
Listen, there is zero connection between washing your hair and your pregnancy safety. Wash your hair whenever it feels dirty. Just don't use extremely hot water, keep it lukewarm and you are good to go.
Honestly, if I didn't wash my hair, I would have looked like a wild animal with all the sweat and vomit smells. Do yourself a favor, take a nice warm shower and wash those locks. It’s the only 10 minutes of peace you'll get!
When I was staying at my mom's place, my nani also said not to wash hair on certain days or during the first trimester. But my mom spoke to our doctor who laughed and said it's totally fine. I just made sure not to stand for too long in the bath.
During my first trimester, I felt so sweaty and nauseous all the time that a head wash was the only thing that made me feel human. It never caused any harm to my pregnancy. Just make sure the bathroom floor isn't slippery.
Omg, my MIL told me not to wash hair in the first month and I panicked thinking I did something wrong because I had already washed it! Later my doctor told me it's a total myth and completely harmless, so please don't worry.
Arre haan, ye sab puraane nuskhe aur dadi-nani ke vehem hain, inpe dhyan mat do na. Mast hair wash karo, pregnancy me hygiene bohot zaroori hai. Bas gile baalon me AC me mat baithna, thand lag jayegi.
Humare gaon me bhi sab bolte hain ki suraj dhalne ke baad ya kuch din baal nahi dhone chahiye. Par maine toh poori pregnancy me dhoaye aur bacha ekdum tandurust hua. Bas thande paani se mat dhona.
