Wear Comfy Clothes
During your pregnancy, your body will naturally undergo many changes. With your baby bump will be growing, and the hot sun right above your head, you try to figure out what to wear. The images of tent-like clothes (loose-fitting clothes without a waistline) come in front of you, but you don’t like them. Therefore, let your pregnancy summer fashion be sorted by getting yourself some cotton shirts and flowy maxi dresses and skirts. These clothes allow you to move around smoothly and also allow your skin to breathe easily.
Stay Away From Direct Sunlight
Due to the pregnancy hormone fluctuations, your body temperature is slightly high. You’re expected to sweat more often and have night sweats too. We know that this condition is already making you feel exhausted. Adding on to this is the hot weather. Direct sunlight may make you feel equally uneasy. So, start your day early. You may do anything – exercising or doing some household chores. Do it early in the morning. You can also take a power nap in the afternoon. If by chance you’re going out in the sun, try to wear a hat, or use an umbrella and wear shades.
Keep Your Hair Tied
Your long hair can make you feel sweaty. Tie your hair in a pony or bun to beat the heat. As a summer style, you can also try out a short hair look.
Stay Hydrated
Drinking enough water is part of your pregnancy- regime. You may also enjoy some cool drinks such as coconut water, fruit mocktail, etc. to beat the heat. Also, try to take a bath with water at room temperature. Set the mood with scented candles and light music.
Go For a Fancy Massage
Pregnancy-friendly massages can keep your body feel relaxed and clean up your sweaty pores. You can also use pregnancy-friendly essential oils. Essential oils are definitely beneficial during your pregnancy.
