I am in the same boat. I love being outside In the summer. My fiancé has has a Harley motorcycle and I won't get to ride it much this year. I enjoy sitting outside tanning and doing gardening. But I am not sure if I should this summer because of being pregnant. I hope there is something we can do to still be able to enjoy the summer
You just have to keep your core temp within a safe range. Take dips in the pool often, drink cool drinks, and maybe keep your head covered. Also, I don't know the exact science, but you are more likely to burn while pregnant. I didn't head the warning with my first because I've never burned a day in my life, and within less than an hour on a cloudy day, I was red as a lobster!
Sit in the shade. And HYDRATE. Our bodies are naturally warmer when pregnant. I plan to be at the pool as much as I can! I don't think you can roast your little one by sitting in the sun; our uterus stays at the core temp of 98 degrees. But you'll probably feel uncomfortably hot quicker so make sure to have shade handy. And SUNSCREEN- our skin is more sensitive.
I did tons of pool days, ocean days, kayaking until I was too big to get the kayak on top of the car, biking until it was uncomfortable while I was pregnant will my last. Lots of sunscreen and lots of water! I only got I the ocean on calm days because I'm clumsy. I couldn't spend all day at the ocean because I would swell quite a bit.
Definitely make sure you have lots of fluids and shade available. I talked to an OB about this last week. She said make a 20-20 rule. 20 minutes of activity in the sun, followed by 20 minutes of shade and rehydration. Best of both worlds!!!
Yay! Thanks all, I feel much better!
I'm also looking forward to pool and beach time this summer! just wear adequate sunscreen, wear a cover up when you aren't in the pool if the sun is beating down hard, sunglasses, maybe a sun hat to keep you cool if you're out side for a long time. and drink lots of water! but I'll definitely be in the pool and hopefully putting in laps for exercise!
