What is the concern with hot tubs during pregnancy?
According to the Organization of Teratology Information Services (OTIS), a body temperature of 101º F (38.3) and above can raise concerns during pregnancy. Some studies have shown an increased risk of birth defects in babies of women who had an increased body temperature during the first trimester of pregnancy.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) states that becoming overheated in a hot tub is not recommended during pregnancy. ACOG also recommends that pregnant women never let their core body temperature rise above 102.2º F (39).
Although the specific degree differs, both OTIS and ACOG attest to the concern related to hot tub use during pregnancy.
Hot tubs are often factory programmed to maintain a water temperature of approximately 104º F (40). It takes only 10-20 minutes in a hot tub to raise your body temperature to 102º F or higher. To maintain a steady temperature, water is circulated and re-circulated through the hot tub to pump out cold water and pump in hot water.
So, is a hot bath safer than using a hot tub?
A hot bath, which is not uncomfortable or scalding, is a safer way to relax. In a bath much of your upper body will remain out of the water, making you less likely to overheat. Additionally, the water in a bath begins to cool off, as opposed to a hot tub, further reducing any risk of overheating.
How to reduce the risk if you choose to use a hot tub:
Although the Association does not recommend using hot tubs during pregnancy, here are some steps you can take to reduce any risk:
Re-program your hot tub to maintain a lower temperature.
Limit time in a hot tub to 10 minutes or less.
Monitor the temperature of the water by dipping a thermometer in the hot tub.
Monitor your body temperature to avoid overheating.
Pay attention to warning signs such as becoming uncomfortable or if you stop sweating.
根据致畸信息服务组织提供的信息,如果孕妇的体温超过38.3摄氏度的话,可能会导致胎儿先天畸形的危险,因此有调查研究发现,如果妈妈在 怀孕的前三个月体温上升,分娩出有缺陷的婴儿的几率会升高。美国妇产科协会也指出他们不建议女性在怀孕期间进行过热的泡浴,他们还建议怀孕女性绝对不能令 身体的体温上升超过39摄氏度,因此一定要避免夏日中暑和高温作业等。虽然两个权威协会在某些观点上会有所不同,但他们都建议怀孕的前三个月绝对禁止泡热 水浴,也不要接触其他的高温环境,如冬季使用的电热毯等。
一般热水泡澡的水温会达到40摄氏度,如果你进行热水泡澡,只需要10-20分钟的时间就能够让你的体温上升至38.8摄氏度甚至更高,由于孕 妇的血液循环有其自己的特点,她们如果在热水的过度刺激后,心脏和脑部可能会负荷不了其刺激,很可能会出现休克、晕眩和虚脱等情况。
热水淋浴是否比热水泡澡安全呢?
虽然用热水淋浴并不是那么舒适并且可能会有点烫,但这是相对一种比较安全的放松方式。
在淋浴的过程中,你的身体基本都露在热水之外的,这样就不会让你的身体体温过高。除此之外,淋浴的水一旦流出就会开始降温,所以相比热水泡澡来说,会大大减低体温过高的危险。
如果要热水泡澡的话怎样能够减低危险呢?
虽然权威组织都不建议孕妇进行热水泡澡,但准妈妈如果在怀孕中、后期打算泡热水浴的话,以下的建议还是能够减低危险:
•放水时尽量将水温调至低一点的温度,不要超过39度
•控制泡澡的时间,尽量控制在10分钟或更短的时间以内
•在泡澡的时候将温度计放在水中,时刻留意水温的变化
•注意自己的体温避免体温过高
•留意身体警告,如果觉得晕眩或者虚脱的话一定要立刻停止泡浴
•一定要按时进行产前检查,防止胎儿有异常情况出现。 |
