This summer is killing me, im 6 months pregnant and the garmi feels 10x worse than normal. sweating, irritated and so uncomfortable. share ur tips to stay cool na, anything that helps.
Please stay indoors during peak afternoon hours and keep yourself very well hydrated. Getting overheated is not good for you or the baby, especially in the early weeks. Take care of yourself, dear, and drink fresh coconut water daily.
I used to panic every time I felt slightly hot, thinking my baby is overheating! But my doctor reassured me it's just our high metabolic rate. Just put a wet cloth on your neck, drink cold water, and sit in an AC room. It's totally normal to feel like a heater.
For beating the heat, I couldn't have sugary juices or mango shakes because of my GD. I relied completely on unsweetened buttermilk (chaas) with some mint and cucumber slices. It is super cooling and completely safe for sugar levels.
Honestly, I spent my entire summer pregnancy sitting right in front of the cooler eating watermelon slices. Don't worry about looking presentable, just wear your loosest nighty and drink iced water. It's the only way to survive!
I tracked my daily water intake on my app because dehydration is so easy in summer. Try drinking sattu water or jaljeera, they are great natural cooling drinks. Also, wear loose cotton clothes to stay comfortable!
High heat can cause your blood pressure to drop, making you feel dizzy. Keep a bottle of water with a pinch of salt and lemon handy to maintain your electrolytes. If you ever feel extremely dizzy or stop sweating, call your doctor immediately.
