Is it okay to use hair shampoo during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. May I ask if it's okay to use shampoo during pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is okay to wash your hair normally during pregnancy and it will not have any impact on the fetus. However, it is not recommended to dye or perm your hair during pregnancy, as the chemicals used in these treatments can affect the fetus.
It is fine, maintain a balanced diet and get adequate rest. Supplement with folic acid and multivitamins. If you are calcium-deficient, drink more milk. Iron and zinc are also important. It is not recommended to take supplements; try to get your nutrients through food if you have a good appetite.
Stay in a good mood. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Supplement with appropriate amounts of animal and plant protein. Reduce spicy foods and opt for lighter options, such as bean sprouts and tofu. At the same time, eating more walnuts is beneficial for the development of the child's nervous system. Soy products are rich in folic acid and B vitamins.
