Being pregnant in the summer is no walk in the park. Luckily, we have some tips for expectant moms in summer:

1. Avoid direct sunlight. ☀️
Do outside activity early in the morning or after the sun sets.

2. Stay hydrated. 🚰
Water intake should be 80 to 100 ounces (about eight to 10 glasses per day) and should be more if you are exercising. Drink low-sugar electrolyte fluids, especially if you’re going to spend time outside.

3. Dress for the heat. 👗
Wear loose, breathable clothing and a hat to reduce sun exposure.

4. Spritz water often. 💦
Carry a spray bottle with you and spritz yourself with water to cool down your body temperature.

5. Be smart about exercise. 🏊‍♀️
Swimming is a terrific way to exercise and keep your body cool. Or stay inside and work out at the gym or walk laps at the mall.

6. Wear sunscreen. 🧴
Be sure to reapply after sweating or swimming. Choose a brand with at least SPF 30 and make sure your face is protected.

7. Make healthy food choices. 🍇
Appetites commonly decrease in the summer, but protein intake is still important with pregnancies. Try making a protein smoothie with a vegetable-based protein powder, berries and coconut water. Add avocados to your meal. Cook with coconut oil. Popsicles and yogurt make healthy, cool snacks.

8. Avoid foods that can spoil. 😷
Things like potato salad, coleslaw and other food items made with mayonnaise can spoil easily in the heat, so it’s best to avoid them.

9. Elevate your feet. 🦶
Because swelling is a common problem, elevate your feet above heart level as much as possible. You can also try hydrotherapy in a bathtub or a pool where you submerge your entire abdomen in the water for 20 to 30 minutes daily.
