Experts Warn Rising Heat Increases Health Risks for Pregnant Women and Newborns
Experts warn that rising extreme heat poses increased health risks for pregnant women and newborns, including dehydration, exhaustion, and pregnancy complications like pre-eclampsia. Changes during pregnancy make women more vulnerable to heat stress, which can also affect fetal health, potentially causing preterm birth and low birth weight. Specialists emphasize the importance of adequate hydration, avoiding prolonged heat exposure, and regular antenatal check-ups to monitor maternal and fetal well-being during hot conditions.
