Prof. Dr. ‘Beware of liquid intake during summer pregnancy’ warning to pregnant women from Ozmen
He warned the expectant mothers who spent their pregnancy in the summer season. Dr. Özmen said, “We need to be very careful about the intake of liquids. There are absolutely no carbonated and additive drinks while taking liquids. Pregnant women should prepare their own juices themselves. They need to drink plenty of water.”
Professor of Diseases and Obstetrics Department Dr. Ülkü Özmen stated that mother candidates should pay attention to fluid intake in the summer and drink plenty of water, and that they do not recommend entering the pool anymore due to Covid-19 infection.
Özmen said that pregnant women living in hot and humid areas in summer should pay attention to moisture and heat conditions.
Is fluid intake important in the pregnant?
“We need to be very careful with the fluid intake,” said Ozmen, saying:
“While drinking liquids, there are absolutely no carbonated and additive beverages. Pregnant women should prepare their own juices themselves. They should drink plenty of water, especially ayran. When they are too thirsty, they can drink mineral water a day and drink a maximum of one of herbal teas. We do not recommend more than one cup a day. We recommend one or two cups of coffee a week at most, which will be a very small amount of coffee. ”
Can pregnant women go into the pool
“We no longer recommend swimming in the pool because of Covid infection.”
In the summer of the pregnant women, “Should we go to the sea or the pool?” “We do not recommend entering the pool anymore because of the Covid-19 infection. Therefore, if they are going to go to the sea, we recommend that they go to the sea. After leaving the sea, they need to be washed and change their clothes. Because pregnant women are more prone to conditions such as urinary tract infection,” he said.
Özmen stated that pregnant women may have some balance problems since their center of gravity has changed, so pregnant women should not be so open in the sea and it would be correct for them to swim with someone.
