Holding breath for 15 seconds

2023-12-13 10:16:37
Hi - I am in my first trimester.. for last few weeks I unintentionally used to hold my breathe while washing my face. It was a normal usual habit but I am a bit worried now since I am pregnant and heard that holding breath is not good .. Max I must have help my breath would be for 15 to 20 seconds only during Dave wash and not through the day. Pls advise if there is any issue since I am extremely worried
