Heat / Sun exposure and pregnancy

Specialties Ob/Gyn

Published

I have a question regarding heat/sun exposure during pregnancy.

I am 27 weeks pregnant and over the weekend I sat in the sun (fully clothed - it is winter here in RSA now) for about half an hour. I started feeling hot and sweaty and then moved out of the sun. I also had a glass of cold water in an attempt to cool down. I am just worried that the rise in my body temperature might have affected the baby in any way?
