Foot baths during pregnancy: do it right

If you want to soak your feet, and there are no alternatives at hand – warming electric “valenki”, for example, then switch to a light mode:

– Water at a pleasant room temperature.

– If it cools down very quickly, we do not pour boiling water, but a little hotter water.

– Steaming in a room where it is easy and free to breathe.

– Do not sit still for a long time – be guided by the sensations.

Important: Do not leave your feet wet and do not smack barefoot out of the water immediately on the floor. Prepare a towel, comfortable natural socks. Afterwards it is useful to lie under a blanket.

If the purpose – not to warm the feet, but purely cosmetic, then the same. Treat the heels, pedicure and other procedures, then first finish with a bath, and then proceed to everything else, so as not to forget to monitor the condition. Remember that foot baths during pregnancy should be approached carefully and wisely.
