High temperatures don't make it easy for expectant moms. With these tips, you'll get through the heat just fine.
Food and beverages
Eat easily digestible food and make sure you drink enough fluids. On hot days, you can drink a little more than usual. Water, unsweetened tea and juice spritzers are ideal thirst quenchers.
Clothing and sun protection

Exercise
