SPECIAL TIPS FOR PREGNANT WOMEN IN THE WINTER SEASON
It seems that pregnant women whose pregnancy period coincides with the winter months tend to be more anxious. Turkey Medicals member and Antalya IVF Obstetrics and Gynecology Specialist Doctor gave important advice on clothing from nutrition to exercise and skin care in order to get through this process without problems.
Due to hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy, the immune response of pregnant women decreases compared to the rest of society. This condition also predisposes them to other infections, especially flu, colds. For this reason, experts recommend that winter pregnant women be vaccinated against the flu.
In addition to good nutrition, rest and vitamin supplements, as well as drinking plenty of water, the body needs to maintain its water balance. Expectant mothers can take the necessary measures by paying attention to personal hygiene and avoiding sick people.
Sliding falls are quite common in areas where winter weather conditions are severe. During pregnancy, the center of gravity, weight distribution may change, which may cause difficulties in maintaining balance.
Often, even if pregnant women fall, the mother’s womb provides the necessary safe environment to prevent the baby from being adversely affected by this condition. But if the baby’s movements are not felt during falls in the first three months, falls with severe pain, and after falls after the third trimester, you should definitely see a doctor in Turkey.
Pregnant women are advised to strictly avoid shoes with heels. It is recommended to choose the right shoes, the sole structure of which is suitable for the winter season.

SKIN PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH PREGNANCY IN THE WINTER SEASON
There may be itching, eczema-like rashes on the skin that remains without moisture with dry air. In this case, they are advised to moisten the air in the house, moisten their hands and dry areas with appropriate humidifiers.
Unfortunately, in winter, as a rule, the exercise time of society falls considerably with the cold weather. The benefits of exercise during pregnancy are more than we can count.
Therefore, pregnant women are advised to avoid dangerous winter activities such as risky skiing, ice skating, if possible, do exercises that can be done at home and do not disrupt their walking.
Pregnant women can forget to drink water because the weather is not hot. However, winter is a dry season, and the body needs water to a significant extent. This need is a need that cannot be filled with other liquid foods.
Let’s not forget that dehydration of the body can cause many consequences, from lowering blood pressure to premature birth. Pregnant women should drink at least 2-2.5 liters of water per day.
