YES, YOU CAN...

BATHE.  You may bathe up to 36 weeks gestation. Do not go in hot tubs or Jacuzzis.

HAVE DENTAL WORK.  Make sure that your dentist knows that you are pregnant.

SWIM. Do not go in rough water, body surf, or scuba dive. No diving, jumping, or
belly flops.
HAVE SEX.  The only exception is if you have had problems, such as placenta previa, or if it causes pain, bleeding or contractions. Your doctor will tell you if and when sex becomes off limits
for your pregnancy.
EXERCISE. Walking is usually best. If you have been exercising regularly (i.e. running,
aerobics, etc.) you may continue on a modified basis for pregnancy (see exercise
guidelines).
TRAVEL.   You may travel up to 36 weeks. Try to empty your bladder every one to two hours and get
up to stretch and move around.
PAINT.  Make sure that the room is well ventilated. Do not climb ladders, and take
frequent breaks - at least every hour.

DYE YOUR HAIR.  You may also have it permed, straightened, etc. – consult with your
stylist, as the effect on your hair may be different.

Please call our office if you have any questions.
