How to deal with your pregnancy in summers


I often talk to my clients who are so very pregnant and due in the summer months because I know that pregnancy adds an extra burden to the usual summer heat. So, here are some tips that you should keep in mind during the summer while pregnant.  

Stay Hydrated: Drink at least 2 liters of clear liquids, preferably water. If you are outside you need at least eight ounces of water for every hour you are outside. Drink before you get thirsty, thirst can be a sign that you've waited too long.  You may be retaining water during your pregnancy and a great way to get rid of it is to flush it out with more liquid.  

Avoid Sun: During pregnancy it's best to avoid direct sunlight. If you are in the sun use a 30-45 SPF sunscreen. Try to go outside in the cooler parts of the sunshine, early morning and late afternoon, rather than high noon.   

Go for light colored clothing: Wear clothing that is
light in color and in fabric weight. Avoid restrictive clothes, because this can increase your discomfort and add to swelling problems.  

Add fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet: Fruits always have the important nutrients that are healthy for mommy and baby. Packed with carbs and vitamins, these filling fiber fruits and veggies are important building blocks for a healthy baby.  

Take a break and vacate: Plan a babymoon this summer with your partner as it will help to connect with your partner more closely and spend quality time together before your journey from partners to parenthood starts. Also, it will be a great retreat to help calming the morning sickness and other illness.  

Stay cool & enjoy your pregnancy..!!
