Is it Safe to Be Exposed to the Smell of Essential Balm During Pregnancy?

Many people like to use essential balm in summer. Essential balm can refresh, relieve pain, cool, and stop itching. It has a good relieving effect on dizziness, headache, and carsickness caused by mosquito bites or colds. Essential balm contains certain ingredients that promote blood circulation, so pregnant women and children should use it cautiously, especially after pregnancy. Do not have excessive contact with essential balm. Let's take a look at whether pregnant women can smell the scent of essential balm?

If a woman is pregnant, she should never come into contact with essential balm. Essential balm contains ingredients that promote blood circulation, and long-term contact may cause miscarriage. However, don't be too nervous, as long as you don't smell it often. But remember, never apply essential balm, which is a product prohibited for pregnant women. It can cause great harm to the fetus.

1. Do not take medicine randomly for a cold. Indomethacin is a contraindicated antipyretic for pregnant women, and aspirin should not be used after 32 weeks of pregnancy. Antibiotics should not be used if there is no clear evidence of bacterial infection in pregnant women with colds, such as tonsillitis, high blood pressure, coughing up yellow sputum, and running a thick nose. Cough and expectorant drugs are generally safe, but cough suppressants containing iodine preparations should not be used by pregnant women.

2. What to do if a pregnant woman has diarrhea? Diarrhea in pregnant women may lead to miscarriage or preterm delivery. First, temporarily stop eating, properly replenish fluids, and replenish the water and electrolytes lost due to diarrhea, especially potassium ions, and also replenish the lost heat. Prepare some easily digestible fluid porridge for pregnant women. If it is not too serious, an empty stomach will be fine. While replenishing fluids, closely observe the condition of the fetus to see if it is good and if there are any signs of miscarriage or preterm delivery. If the condition of the fetus is abnormal, immediately go to the hospital for treatment and do not be careless.

3. Correct sleeping position during pregnancy. During the early stages of pregnancy (1-3 months), pregnant women can sleep in any position they are comfortable with, mainly adopting comfortable postures such as supine or lateral positions. Bad sleeping positions such as sleeping on your stomach or hugging things should be corrected.
