Why are pregnant women afraid of heat?

My wife is just a few months pregnant. These days, I am often woken up by my wife kicking the quilt while I sleep. I ask her why? Why are you kicking the quilt off to sleep in the middle of the night? She said she was hot and it lasted for a long time. My wife asked her if something was wrong. Also asked if he had heat stroke? Still always thinking wildly. But in fact, no matter in spring, summer, autumn or winter, pregnant mothers feel hot, which is a normal phenomenon. Especially in the third trimester of pregnancy, it’s often so hot that I have to kick under the quilt in the middle of the night and dry my belly during the day. I never thought that I could be so "unrestrained" as a pregnant woman. So, what is the reason why pregnant mothers are afraid of heat? What should you do after you have a fever?

1. Why are pregnant mothers afraid of heat?

After a woman becomes pregnant, the development of the uterus and placenta must rely on the increase in blood in the body. The increased blood value is generally 40% to 45%. Pregnant mothers feel hot because they are processing this blood. During the process, blood vessels will be slightly dilated and the blood flow to our skin will increase. As long as the blood volume increases during pregnancy, it will lead to an increase in basal body temperature, nosebleeds, gum bleeding, dizziness, lowered blood pressure, and skin changes. Therefore, it is normal for pregnant mothers to be afraid of heat.

2. What should pregnant mothers do if they are afraid of heat and in the current high temperature weather?

The American Welfare Institute once expressed this statement: If the mother's body temperature is too high in the early stages, it is likely that the fetus will suffer from congenital defects after birth. In severe cases, it may even cause birth defects. Increased risk of miscarriage. This statement actually makes some sense. If the pregnant mother's body temperature exceeds 38.9° and lasts for more than 10 minutes, it will cause damage to the fetal nervous system in the early stages; if it is in the later stages of pregnancy, it may cause dehydration of the mother.

So pregnant mothers are afraid of heat, what should they do if they encounter the current hot weather? First of all, pregnant mothers should drink more water. Sufficient water can not only help pregnant mothers perspire, but also reduce the risk of premature birth. Secondly, pregnant mothers should try to wear light and loose clothes and keep the room cool. Choosing light-colored loose clothes and keeping the room cool can help pregnant mothers lower their body temperature.

But in fact, this is wrong. Pregnant mothers can completely turn on the air conditioner; but be careful: do not Blow directly to yourself. When turning on the air conditioner for a long time, keep the indoor air circulating and fresh. In summer, just keep the indoor temperature difference at 5 to 7°. Another thing that pregnant mothers need to pay attention to is that after turning on the air conditioner, they should clean the air conditioner regularly to avoid using it for too long and causing excessive bacteria on the filter to avoid causing discomfort and respiratory problems to the pregnant mother.
