I was wondering what everyone thought about working outside in the hot humid Texas heat while pregnant! I'm about 11wks and will be working around a pool 5 hrs a day 4 days a week. It gets about 100 degrees and 100% humidity or so here. Is it safe?

Have you had a heat injury in the past? ie heat cramps or stroke? If not then provided you don't dehydrate you should be fine. Your skin tends to become more sensitive as well so be sure to use sun block. But drinking water is the most important. That will regulate your temp and keep you hydrated. If at any point you feel dizzy or start to get cramps go to the doctor because any type of heat injury could hurt your child. Talk to your doctor about getting some kind of note to let your work know about limitations. Remember though that you are in control of your body, no one else, so if you don't feel comfortable with something then don't do it!

You should ask your ob/gyn. If you're a Texas native, you're probably used to this and if it's a normal pregnancy (not high risk), then it's most likely going to be just fine if you stay hydrated! DRINK LOTS OF WATER!!!

sure sure and sure they are secure. they are truly recommened for decrease back soreness because otc soreness killers arent many times secure. warmth face cloths, and the nice and comfortable temperature wrap ( cant undergo in concepts the emblem call) are reliable for decrease back soreness. merely make positive to do the 15 minutes on and 15 minutes off.

bxhottestgurl is funny...
i think that as long as you keep yourself well hydrated, you shouldn't have a problem, unless you still feel funny about it. Just drink lots of water and you should be fine.

That's a hard one i don't think it wold be a great idea, i would suggest wearing sunscreen a hat and making sure you drink lots and lots of water!!! I think where possible it should be avoided!!

If I were you, I'd be more concerned about the chlorine than the heat.
