Ah, summer! The season of barbecues, beach trips, and refreshing lemonade. But, if you’re pregnant during these sun-soaked months, you might find yourself navigating a whole new set of challenges. While there are plenty of reasons to love being pregnant in summer, like slipping into that comfy maxi dress and enjoying the warm weather, the heat can also make things a bit tricky, especially in your third trimester.
One mom shared, “My doctor advised me to steer clear of saunas and hot tubs, so I joked and asked if my car counted. Honestly, I think I might just become a permanent resident of my pool, complete with an umbrella for shade!”
Yet, the joys of summer pregnancies are there too. You can embrace your favorite summer treats, enjoy outdoor activities, and you definitely don’t need to worry about bundling up in a maternity winter coat or navigating icy sidewalks. Staying active is easier with a quick dip in the pool, and you can sip on delicious summer mocktails while you hydrate.
