After pregnancy, there are more things for pregnant women to pay attention to. They can't eat whatever they want or do whatever they want like before. So it can be said that pregnant women have to make a lot of sacrifices during the ten months of pregnancy. As the belly gradually grows, it becomes inconvenient to walk and sleep, and they also need to pay attention to various things, fearing that a careless mistake might harm the fetus in their womb. So there are a few things that pregnant women should not have at home, and if they find them, it is best to get rid of them.
1. Mothballs
During pregnancy, if a pregnant woman smells mothballs for a long time, it can cause nausea, vomiting, skin allergies, and limb numbness. It can also cause acute hemolytic anemia. In addition, the volatile odor can affect fetal development through the placental barrier and cause fetal malformation. Especially during the first three months of pregnancy, the probability of natural miscarriage is quite high. So if there are mothballs in your wardrobe, throw them away as soon as possible!
2. Mosquito coils
In the summer, many households use mosquito coils. If the mosquito coils are burned for too long in a room with poor ventilation, pregnant mothers may experience chest tightness, dizziness, and a decrease in fetal movements, and it can even lead to fetal hypoxia. So long-term use of mosquito coils is not good for human health, and even more harmful to pregnant women. Therefore, pregnant mothers are advised not to use mosquito coils and can choose to use mosquito nets instead.
3. Insecticides
Although the toxicity of insecticides has been gradually reduced, it can still cause discomfort when in contact with the human body, especially in the places where pregnant women live, so caution should be exercised when using them. If pregnant women inhale a large amount of insecticide, it can enter the body through the umbilical cord and affect the baby's brain development.
4. Nail polish
Nail polish often contains a large amount of acetone and ethyl acetate in order to dry quickly. Both of these components are highly volatile. However, acetone and ethyl acetate are flammable and explosive, and they produce a dizzying smell when evaporating. Long-term inhalation can be harmful to the nervous system and can also damage the mucous membranes. In addition, nail polish often contains a substance called phthalates. If this substance is absorbed by the body for a long time, it is not only harmful to human health, but also most likely to cause miscarriage and give birth to malformed babies in pregnant women.
Pregnant mothers, please pay more attention to these things in your daily life. I hope all pregnant women can successfully get through their pregnancy.
