    Take a shower. Wash your hair. Clip your nails. Brush your teeth.

    This is not rocket science.

    Obviously.. I meant 'super personal' hygiene. Thank you though. I meant is it OK to douche or use cleansing suppositories while pregnant?

    I had no idea what you meant. I thought you were a nursing student doing homework.

    No. Your body takes care of itself nicely.

    No, it is not okay to douche or use personal suppositories during pregnancy. It's not even okay to douche when you are NOT pregnant.

    You should not be douche even when not pregnant, it is not good for you.

    You merely wash

    It is not a good idea to douche or use suppositories anytime, especially during pregnancy. Your body pretty much cleans itself. Just keep your undies clean and changed and wash "down there" like you do the rest of your body.
