My belly is growing and the navel is kind of popping out now, feels a bit sensitive. Not sure how to clean it properly without irritating it. Any tips?
Thoda sa coconut oil laga ke chhod do, fir nate waqt softly clean kar lena, bahut aasan hai na. Bilkul zor mat lagana kyunki skin sensitive ho jaati hai pregnancy me.
I just clean it gently with a soft cotton swab during my daily post-walk shower. Don't scrub or pull the skin too hard. If your doctor has allowed light stretches, just be mindful of your tummy area.
I felt so scared to touch my belly button as it popped out in the third trimester! I just used a little warm water and mild soap on a soft cloth during my bath. It's very sensitive, so please be very gentle.
Listen, don't go poking around with sharp things or ear buds inside your belly button. Just wash it gently with mild soap and water while bathing. It's that simple, no need to overcomplicate it.
When I was staying at my mom's place, she told me to apply a drop of coconut oil in the belly button before bathing to soften any dirt. It works beautifully and you can just wipe it gently with a soft towel afterward.
Because I was always extra cautious about everything, I was afraid of infections. I just wiped the outer area very gently with a damp cotton ball. If you notice any redness, bad smell, or discharge, please ask your gynac immediately.
