Staying Cool – and Safe – at the Pool When You're Expecting
http://ow.ly/Wn7E30pq9sL

When you're expecting, it's normal to feel a little bit warmer than your non-pregnant friends. When you're pregnant, your blood volume increases, which means you may feel a little toasty during those hot days. If you plan on cooling off at the pool, it's even more important to stay hydrated because dehydration can trigger Braxton hicks contractions. Bring a few extra bottles of water with you!

Concerned about the heat or Braxton hicks? Don't hesitate to give us a call!
