Feedback:
Swimming in a pool is good exercise for a pregnant woman. However, swimming in a lake can be harmful because of the danger of infection, especially in the latter months. Douching can increase the risk of vaginal infections. Increased salivation or ptyalism, seen in some women during pregnancy, does not cause tooth decay and necessitate more frequent brushing. Lanolin ointments may damage the areola and nipple and have not been shown to be effective in preventing sore and cracked nipples.
