Will body heat affect pregnancy?

Question

In our culture, there's a belief about 'body heat' affecting health. I'm concerned if having a 'warm body' or feeling hot can negatively impact my pregnancy. Is there any truth to this?

Ghar pe bade bolte hain ki garam cheezein mat khao. Tum dahi, saunf ka paani aur nariyal paani peeyo, isse pet thanda rahega aur thoda aaram milega.

I used to carry a water bottle with mint leaves to my office to stay hydrated during busy days. Honestly, keep your fluid intake high and avoid heavy spicy lunches. It saves time and keeps the body cool naturally.

Even I feel so hot all the time now, my palms are always sweating. Is this normal or will it harm the baby? Let me know what you guys do to cool down.

It's just hormonal changes, nothing to panic about. Just stay in air conditioning, wear breathable cotton clothes, and drink loads of coconut water. Don't let old wives' tales stress u out.

Your body temperature naturally rises a bit during pregnancy. To stay cool, try drinking buttermilk (chaas) or lemon water without sugar. Avoid sugary packed juices or too many mangoes, as they increase both heat and sugar levels.
