This summer is killing me, im 6 months pregnant and feeling so much body heat all the time. Hands feet sab garam rehte hai. What do you all do to feel thoda cool? share please.
Extreme heat sensitivity can sometimes be linked to thyroid fluctuations too. Make sure u are getting your regular blood tests done as advised by your doctor. Along with that, drink lots of normal water.
I used to feel so hot and sweat like crazy in my first trimester, I literally thought something was wrong. But doc said it's just hormones working. Drinking cold buttermilk and staying in drafty rooms helped me stay calm.
Be very careful with sweet fruit juices to cool down as they can spike sugar levels. Stick to unsweetened buttermilk, plain coconut water, or just cold water with lemon and mint. It cools the body safely.
My tracker app suggested keeping a water logging habit to track hydration, which really helped! Aim for at least 3 liters of liquids like lemon water and coconut water. Avoid direct sun in the afternoon.
My mother-in-law used to give me ragi porridge (kanji) which is excellent for cooling the system naturally. But I always checked with my doctor first before changing my diet. Stay well hydrated dear.
This heat is very common due to increased blood flow in our bodies. Try taking two quick showers a day with lukewarm water, it instantly cools u down. Keep some cucumber slices handy for snacking.
Beta, drink sabja seeds soaked in water or a glass of fresh chaas with roasted cumin daily. Avoid eating highly spicy or oily foods as they increase body heat. Take care and rest in a cool place.
I totally understand how uncomfortable and exhausting this heat feels when u are carrying a precious life. Please pamper yourself, put a cool damp cloth on your forehead and rest. You are doing a wonderful job.
Uff, I lived on coconut water and vanilla ice cream to stay sane during my summer pregnancy! Wear loose cotton clothes and keep the AC on, don't try to be a hero. Trust me, baby heat is real.
