The rains do cause discomfort and a fair amount of danger to pregnant women. Pregnancy is a complicated time and the woman`s body undergoes many changes during this time. Here are a few precautions that you can take to reduce discomfort due to the rains.
Wear comfortable clothes. With the rains come humidity, and a lot of sweating. Wear loose cotton clothes that are a size larger.
Keep your soles covered at all times. Don`t walk barefoot, even at home. This will reduce chances of slipping or falling.
Watch what you eat. Keep off street food at any cost. It poses a great threat to your baby`s health.
Add neem leaves or neem oil to your bath water. Neem has anti bacterial properties and is known to fight germs.
In case you do step out in the rains, make sure to wash your hands and feet thoroughly as soon as you are back indoors. Sanitise your hands as often as possible. This reduces the occurrence of conjunctivitis and viral fever.
