Patient's question:
I am a woman, 28 years old, and I just got married and found out I'm pregnant. I usually wear makeup when I go out. Please ask: Can I use cosmetics during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, it is best to avoid using cosmetics as much as possible, as they may contain harmful metals such as mercury and lead, which can be absorbed by the baby. In the early stages of pregnancy, pay close attention to factors that may lead to fetal malformations. Regular prenatal check-ups are essential for healthy fetal development. Consume more fruits, vegetables, or foods rich in collagen, as these can help stabilize the skin. It is strongly recommended to avoid sexual activity to prevent stimulating contractions and causing miscarriage. Properly enhance nutrition, maintain a calm and peaceful pregnancy, attend prenatal check-ups on schedule, and seek medical attention promptly if any discomfort occurs.
