Pregnancy is a journey of anticipation and joy, and mothers-to-be want to do their best to protect the health of the unborn child. At a time when bacteria and fungi are everywhere, antibacterial products become what many pregnant women see as “protectors” and some even believe that the use of antibacterial products by pregnant women has no effect on the foetus, which is far from the case.
Antibacterial products on the market range from handwashing to laundry to cleaning agents. Common pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacterium and chloropropyl, which are effective in removing hand-contaminated bacterium and yellow raisins, and in cleaning up hand effects; active ingredients in antibacterial baptism can inhibit bacterium and keep the clothes relatively clean. They are well known in the context of life and were originally meant to create a microbacterial environment for people.
However, for a specific group of pregnant women, the use of anti-bacterial products carries a risk. First, the body of the pregnant woman is in a special physiological state, with significant changes in the hormonal levels during pregnancy, with the skin becoming more sensitive and permeable. When antibacterial products containing chemical components are used frequently at this time, such as handwashing fluids with trichlorfon and showers, they are more likely to penetrate the skin barrier into the blood cycle. The fetus, on the other hand, is closely linked to the mother by placenta, and once harmful substances in the mother ‘ s blood accumulate, there is a high risk that it will affect the development of the foetus through placenta, and although no apparent anomalies may be observed in the short term, long-term exposure is like the presence of a hidden disease on the path to the health of the foetus, increasing the risk of abnormal and abnormal foetal development.
Furthermore, the human body itself is a large and fine micro-ecosystem, including the vagina and intestinal tract of pregnant women. In the case of vagina, for example, there are, under normal conditions, positive bacteria such as Bacillus in the vagina that maintain the acidic environment of the vagina, effectively prevent invasive alien bacteria and safeguard the health of the mother and child reproductive system. The overuse of anti-bacterial products, especially anti-bacterial agents for vaginal rinsing, is highly likely to upset the balance of the fungal population in the vagina, and harmful bacteria may enter in the vantage, causing complications during pregnancy, such as vaginal inflammation and early foetal membranes, threatening the safety of mothers and children. Imbalances in intestinal herbology are equally difficult, with digestive problems such as constipation occurring during pregnancy, and antibacterial products disrupting the intestinal good fungus can further exacerbate intestinal disorders, affect maternal nutritional absorption and indirectly affect fetal development.
There is also a risk of “killing by mistake” in terms of the mechanism of action of anti-bacterial products. Many antibacterial agents are widespread and, while inhibiting harmful bacteria, may affect the body of the pregnant woman and the useful bacteria in the body. The skin surface is less fungi, the skin barrier is impaired, and pregnant women are more vulnerable to skin aching, drying and other symptoms of discomfort; the intestinal fungi is destroyed, which does not normally assist in the digestion of foods, synthetic vitamins, lack of maternal nutrition and corresponding limits on the nutrients obtained by the foetus.
To ensure the health of mothers and children during pregnancy, mothers-to-be need to be careful about anti-bacterial products. Handwashing is the choice of a mild, unstimulant general handwash, which is washed clean with running water; clothing is washed with regular laundry fluids, which are dry enough to kill the sun. In special circumstances, such as hospitals, where exposure to bacteria is high, antibacterial products can be reasonably selected under the guidance of a doctor and the frequency of use is strictly controlled. At the same time, good living habits are maintained, diets are balanced, exercise is adequate, sleep is guaranteed, and it is essential to increase its own immunity from disease and disease by natural means.
The use of antibacterial products by pregnant women is by no means risk-free, and at this critical stage of life every choice is about the future of the mother and child. By abandoning misconceptions and following science, new life can thrive with love.
