Patient's question:
I heard that during the early stages of pregnancy, when taking a bath, it's important to make sure the water temperature doesn't exceed 40 degrees Celsius and the duration doesn't last more than 15 minutes. If the time is too long or the water is too hot, it can raise the mother's body temperature, which may kill fetal brain cells, right? So, does it also affect wearing warm clothes or sleeping under heavy blankets at night?Doctor's answer:
This is a temperature that fits early pregnancy. It's fine, within the normal range. Just make sure to do regular prenatal check-ups from now on. Pay attention to eating more vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seafood. Also, be mindful of supplementing with folic acid, calcium, and iron.
