Even if you and your belly will be <a href=\"https:\/\/bumpboxes.com\/blog\/post\/keeping-cool-when-youre-sweating-for-two\">sweating for two<\/a> during the year\u2019s hottest months, there are several reasons being pregnant during summer can be a beautiful thing. For one, it\u2019s summer and there\u2019s a special energy that comes along with everyone\u2019s favorite season. Warm weather and longer days are known to lighten the mood, and you\u2019ll benefit from that given pregnancy\u2019s wacky and ever-changing hormones. Here are 6 more reasons it\u2019s great to be pregnant during summer. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Outdoor exercise is perfect during the summer<\/strong> <strong>(aka swimming)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintaining a healthy pregnancy is every new mom\u2019s number one goal. Getting outside for some fresh air is easy during the summer months. Walking is a low-impact exercise that has great cardio benefits for expectant moms. Plus it can be done during all stages of pregnancy and at all fitness levels. Swimming is another excellent form of exercise during pregnancy that can help with swelling, pressure, loosen the joints and provide relief from the heat.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Farmer\u2019s Markets are Loaded with Fresh Fruits and Veggies<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously it\u2019s very important to get as many nutrients as you can to keep your growing baby healthy. Fresh fruits and vegetables are packed with important nutrients, dense carbohydrates and fiber, all necessary ingredients for a healthy baby. And summer has tons of farmer\u2019s markets and outdoor stands with all the fresh fruits and veggies you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Vitamin D is So Important<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Vitamin D vibes are important and necessary for pregnant women. Expecting moms are at risk of vitamin D deficiency, which can lead to gestational diabetes, preeclampsia and other conditions. Because you typically can\u2019t get enough Vitamin D through food sources alone, spending time in the sunshine wields numerous benefits. Just be sure you wear pregnancy-safe sunscreen and don\u2019t get too much sun! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hello, Maxi Dress Season<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Breezy, lightweight dresses are a pregnant woman\u2019s best friend. Maternity dresses, skirts, tank tops and bathing suits are all fair game during the summer and will help you remain comfortable and cool, no matter which trimester you\u2019re currently in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>It\u2019s Easy to Stay Hydrated During Warmer Months<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s hot, and the urge to drink loads of water comes easy during the warmer months. Because it\u2019s essential to stay hydrated throughout pregnancy (and more so during summer), you\u2019ll need to keep up on your daily quota. Easy peasy! The warmer months there are many refreshing ways to stay hydrated. Bored from the water? Try a mocktail! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Summer Means Vacation Time<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Summer is a great time to take a break. If you\u2019re currently in your second trimester, it may be the perfect time for you and your partner to take a last-minute romantic getaway or babymoon. Connect and spend quality time together even if it means taking a short road trip or finding the perfect staycation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from dealing with the heat, being pregnant during the summer has many advantages. Make the most of the sunshine and warmer weather while you can!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being pregnant during the summer gets a bad rap.
