Can you wash your hair and take a bath during preterm labor?

Patient's question:

Detected pregnancy, blood HCG is 337.4, looks like spotting for four days. Went to the hospital, the doctor gave progesterone capsules, didn't check progesterone, just prescribed medication, said nothing else, didn't mention rest, didn't say I couldn't wash my hair or take a bath. I started taking the medication last night, and today the bleeding is slightly better than yesterday, but it's still there. I'm still working now, but it's not tiring, just sitting, with a computer. Whenever I get a chance, I try to lie down. Is that okay?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your condition is considered to be caused by luteal phase deficiency leading to low progesterone, resulting in the inability to maintain pregnancy. It is recommended that you use progesterone to continue maintaining the pregnancy.
Advice:
You can take a shower and wash your hair, but avoid excessive fatigue and try to rest in a horizontal position. This is mainly to prevent the possibility of miscarriage.
