One of the most common questions a pregnant woman has during the summer is whether she can swim in the sea. When pregnancy is normal, bathing is not forbidden. Of course, the one who will give you the last ok to swim, is your gynecologist.
However, there are some basic things that a pregnant woman should be careful about when going to sea. See below:
Avoid very low temperatures, turbulent and polluted water.
Beware of sun exposure because pregnant woman’s skin is extremely sensitive. Prefer to sit in the shade.
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation can cause burns.
Be sure to visit a beach that you know is certified to be clean, to avoid infections.
Do not swim for hours. Of course, this also depends on the month of pregnancy.
Renew your sunscreen very regularly, even when sitting in the shade
Have a bottle of water with you.
Wear a hat even when swimming.
As soon as you get out, immediately replace wet wet clothes with a dry one.
