I've heard from my nani that too much body heat can sometimes affect pregnancy, especially in summer. I tend to feel very warm easily. Is there any truth to this or anything I should be careful about?
When I was staying with my parents, my mother was very careful about this and always gave me coconut water and buttermilk to keep my body cool. Feeling a bit warm is normal due to hormones, but staying hydrated is key for the baby.
My saas always warns me about 'garam' foods like papaya and excess ginger during early pregnancy. I just follow her advice to keep the peace, and honestly, drinking lime juice and staying under the fan really helps!
I completely understand why you are worried, because every minor change in your body feels like a threat when you're anxious. Hormones naturally raise your body temperature slightly, so don't worry. Just drink plenty of water and rest.
When I mentioned feeling too warm to the doctors at the hospital, they explained it's just increased blood flow in pregnancy. They advised me to wear breathable clothes and track my actual temperature with a thermometer. Always clarify these things with your hospital team if you feel feverish.
