Pregnant women should take special precautions in Holi: Dr. Sujata Sanjay

IEP Dehradun

Pregnancy is an exciting time, in anticipation of new beginnings. With Holi round the corner on Friday, doctors recommend some basic care so as not to let pregnancy mar the festive spirit. For instance, did you know that some colours, despite being branded ‘natural’ or ‘organic’ can still be harmful? ‘Some colours termed natural are made from fruits and flowers, but their powder base could have harmful chemicals such as lead and mercury which can get absorbed and cause pregnancy complications like premature birth or even a miscarriage. These colours can also adversely affect the nervous and reproductive system of expecting women says Dr.Sujata Sanjay, gynaecologist at Sanjay Maternity Centre, Jakhan, told.

 “Younger babies less than six month of the age are strongly suggested to stay away from the colours. It’s best not to put any colours on babies, younger than six months because of their delicate skin. A red sandalwood tikka would be enough to ritualize and symbolically celebrate the festival.”Says Dr. Sujata

Dr. Sujata Sanjay advises to take some precautions, so that the health of pregnant women does not deteriorate and the enthusiasm of the festival remains in them. She told that if precautions are not taken, there may be problems like premature birth, loss of baby’s weight during birth and miscarriage. She suggests that pregnant women can play with herbal colours, which are made from fruits and flowers.

Holi, the festival of being immersed in colors, gathering, eating and drinking, and fun . Holi is celebrated everywhere. Everyone wants to get drenched in colours. But as much fun, jumping and hustle-bustle can be done by ordinary people on Holi, pregnant women have to be as careful. If a pregnant woman is a little negligent in the fun of Holi festival, then her skin will be damaged and her unborn child may also suffer. Along with colors, water is also used a lot in the festival of Holi, due to which there is a risk of you falling ill. Remember, playing Holi is a form of entertainment. But pregnant women should keep in mind that now it is not only you, there is also a little life with you, which has to be taken care of.

Dr. Sujata Sanjay clearly forbids the consumption of substances like alcohol. Although chemical-rich colors and adulterated sweets can be dangerous for anyone, pregnant women are advised to take special care; these things can prove to be harmful for both the pregnant woman and her unborn child.

If you are a new mom and get your baby breast-feeding, then you should also stay away from harmful chemicals with chemicals during Holi. This is because if these colors reach the baby’s body through your milk, then it can be fatal to the health of the newborn.

Clean yourself completely after playing Holi. People sometimes use things like kerosene, nail paint remover to clean the colors, but you do not need to do anything like this. You can also use gram flour to remove the colours, which is completely natural. If someone has put a wet or chemical dye on you, wash your face immediately with clean water. Use only herbal ingredients to remove the colours. If there is irritation, dryness and pimples on the colored skin, then get it checked by the doctor. Protect your eyes from color and gulal.

This year also corona virus is around us, so pregnant women have to take double care. It would be good that you play Holi at home this year and include only your family members in this festival. Avoid inviting as many outside guests as possible. To add more fun this Holi, you can make very good and delicious dishes and sweets at home.

The most important thing for you during pregnancy should be your safety and that of your baby and not playing Holi. Therefore, while playing Holi, follow all the safety rules carefully and do not take the slightest carelessness regarding the health of the child towards you. Otherwise it can be a very heavy Holi on you and your entire family. Do follow these tips.
