To move happily into a new home, pregnant mothers and their families need to make the following preparations:
1.Detect the air quality of new homes.
Newly renovated houses often contain harmful gases such as formaldehyde and benzene, which are very harmful to the health of pregnant women and fetuses. Therefore, before moving into a new house, be sure to ask a professional indoor air testing agency to test the air quality of your new home. If the test result is unqualified, it needs to be treated first before considering moving in.
2.Choose the right furniture and finishing materials.
When decorating a new house, you should choose decoration materials and furniture that meet environmental protection standards and are low in formaldehyde. Try to avoid using adhesives containing formaldehyde and other harmful substances, try to choose solid wood furniture, and use less synthetic boards. In addition, new furniture should also choose products that meet environmental standards and are low in formaldehyde.
3.Maintain good indoor air circulation.
When pregnant women live in a new house, they should keep indoor air circulation and open windows frequently for ventilation. You can choose to open windows for ventilation during good outdoor air quality hours to let in fresh air indoors, which can help reduce the concentration of harmful gases in the room.
4.Avoid using air fresheners.
Some people use air fresheners to mask indoor odors after moving into a new home, but these fresheners often contain chemicals that are harmful to humans. Therefore, pregnant women and their families should try to avoid using air fresheners and use activated charcoal or plants to purify indoor air.
5.Pay attention to the regulation of indoor temperature and humidity.
When pregnant women live in a new house, they should pay attention to the adjustment of indoor temperature and humidity. The indoor temperature should be kept at around 20 and the humidity should be kept at around 50%. If the indoor temperature and humidity are too high or too low, it can have an impact on the health of the mother and the fetus.
6.Do a good job in family environmental protection.
When pregnant women live in a new house, they should do a good job of family environmental protection. Minimize the generation of indoor garbage, reasonably sort garbage and dispose of it. At the same time, to avoid harmful substances such as chemical cleaners and pesticides, you can choose to use eco-friendly cleaning products and greenery for household cleaning and insect control.
7.Pay attention to personal hygiene and food safety.
Pregnant women should also pay attention to personal hygiene and food safety when moving into a new home. Keep the room clean and hygienic, clean the dead corners regularly, and wash and change quilts frequently.
