Talkback: 10 ways to keep cool in pregnancy

Replies

  • Eggie I am a Chinese Medical practitioner. To clarify on #10 cooling foods may help keep you cool in summer BUT during pregnancy it is preferable not to overdo the cooling foods. Too much cold food can cause cold in the internal state of the body, digestive system and uterus too and that is not desirable. You definitely want a balance.

    I suggest more rest and work/life balance and preserving energy. This will also help hot flushes.
  • 11) Sleep on silk sheets. They keep you cool, are naturally hypoallergenic and they're great for your skin. Just make sure their seamless, 19 momme or higher and charmeuse mulberry silk.
  • I’ve been using a gel pack (usually used for muscle injuries) from the freezer to cool me down in the heat!! Wrap it in a cloth so it’s not too cold and and keep it on my lap at work or back of my neck at home and it really helps!!!!
