Over all the term hygiene has a very broad meaning.

In fact it is a life style of the pregnant including feeding of the baby, working and rest, sex and other activities of life. There are many changes happening in the body of the pregnant woman at the early and late period of pregnancy. As a matter of fact, pre pregnancy hygiene may not always sustain the level of convenience that you are used to have. Many women mention that during that time perspiration increase, moreover it smells not like it supposed to be before pregnancy. There are increased vaginal discharges, which are quite often event, and plus urination process becomes more often: a typical problem of pregnancy. All these mentioned above events has natural origin, the blood volume changes, sanguimotion changes and there are common changes in the hormonal field. Except discomfort, increased perspiration and vaginal contents stagnation (haemostasia) arouses comfortable conditions for the bacterial infections, for the parasitic fungi and other. So your hygienic procedure should be more often than usual. It can be bath or shower, yet you might remember the following: the water temperature should not much cold or hot rather than moderate. Hot water enables the muscles to extend, speeds blood circulation, which can cause dizziness and even with fall down in a faint. Beside that the baby absolutely doesnt need overheat. For this reason you have turn down your customs to visit saunas if you are used to. It would be good to have rubber covering on the floor of your bathroom and wherever you take bath or shower. It secures you of slipping consequently getting injures. At the late period of your pregnancy you may have difficulties in bathroom as the gravity center of your body has changed. In this case ask your husband or anybody else from family to help you (familiarizing with problems of future mum does not harm to anybody). About different stuff you use before (shampoo, conditioning, lotion, shower gel, etc) continue using them if you are not became allergic. Toilet soap may increase the dryness of the skin but not for everyone. It is better to use more soft washing means that have natural basics and they are not allergenic. Do not use strong smell perfume, or creams, use for example ball deodorants with neutral smell. The baby is very sensitive and may not like pungent smell (it is not a surprise well talk about it later). The skin may have some unfavorable changes: redness, dryness peeling, freckles, skin tension level changes, exposed veins through the skin and sometimes pimples. Some women mark the occurrence of red color vascular specks on a skin, and the shape like small spiders. These are so-called ectasias the expanded small blood vessels which can be seen through the skin (transparent). Again once more use soft and specific soap, lotions and cosmetic creams. Use sprayer to spray your face with filtered water (possible boiled and chilled water), refresh your room by humidify air. The best way to fight these types of problems is the proper nutrition procedure, it means enough calories and vitamins and good hygienic regime. If the phenomenon of ectasias is bothering you (if you are shy to go outside) we recommend using of the proper color updater, then use toner and cream. If you cant handle this problem, consult with the cosmetologist. Please take into your consideration that many of these unfavorable events disappear by themselves after some time, or after giving the birth. And if you face some of the problems after the birth, so you have enough time to fix. And believe me so, that it is not looks so awful like you think. Yet hairs are problem during the pregnancy. Hairs become more tick and dense, and the brightness is more tangible than before. The reason is the same: hormonal changes affect on hair growing and losing rate. Usually you lose 100 hairs during the day and this number declines during your pregnancy. Based on this you

may say that you keep you original hairs. But after the birth you start to lose more hairs than before you pregnancy. While taking care of your hairs, remember that chemical and dyes are contradicted for the first three months as they contain potential danger for your embryo. Before doing any hair caring just think of it. You better enjoy of the natural beastliness of your hair. Now we will talk about hygiene of the mouth. It is very significant part of hygiene. It is highly recommended to see the dentist before the pregnancy. Inform your dentist that you are pregnant. Discuss about all measures and means that may use to cure your dents as X-ray, anesthetic medicine and so on, ask questions about dental treatment. At least it is necessary to brash the teeth twice a day. Do not ignore advertised and well known tooth paste and brash as they can help you to clean your entire dents. You also can use special treads coming in different size to clean the spaces between you teeth. The most important procedure of teeth caring is the proper diet which includes such substances as fluorine, phosphorous and calcium and such vitamins as ascorbic acid and nicotine oxygen (do not confuse with nicotine). Reduce sweets and sodas and after eating, clean them with chewing gum or at least rinse your mount. Some women feel perfect during pregnancy, they are creative, the mood is up, and they dont have an inferiority (inadequacy) complex concerning body shape changes. But many women oppressed by the weight changes, the lost beauty, problems with a skin, discharges and so on. The uncertainty in total with emotional instability for pregnant women can become a serious source of anxiety and irritability, and nobody needs this kind of problems neither to pregnant, nor for the baby and members of the family. By keeping appropriate your sanitary condition, you will reduce these possible negative things to the minimum, and the rest will go with sense of humor! Tape on a camcorder your dance, tango or the samba (on the thirtieth week), smile and look directly into camera. They say the people which can laugh at itself are strong nation! If you do not agree with this statement that pregnancy makes the woman beautiful, at least, try to look critically at a problem these changes in your body are not so ugly, they are capable to raise some favorable feelings, but not an ironical smile.
