The primary function of a bathroom heater (bath warmer) is to provide warmth. Pregnant women may use it while bathing without adverse effects; however, they should avoid directing their eyes straight at the heater to prevent potential eye injury.
Pregnant women should maintain a balanced diet and positive mental state, minimize prolonged use of computers and mobile phones, and consume ample fresh fruits, vegetables, and sufficient protein.
