From what i've read, a few minutes in the sun each day is recommended to provide Vitamin D.
Ironically, in this region pregnant women often have vit d deficiencies as they either refrain from going outside or fully cover up. You do have to be careful in the heat, but no more so than any one else venturing out when the weather is hot!
As sarahlou says, make sure you are drinking plenty of water. I'm always super hot when I'm pregnant so being out in the heat is even more sticky than usual but if you have to do it, you have to do it. I haven't had to walk to work in the heat but have done a lot of walking to and from school runs, activities and pool side for swimming lessons with no problems. Make sure you always have water and you'll be fine :)
Hi ladies,
I'm 7 weeks pregnant and about to start my new job. It takes 7 mins to walk over to my office from my home. It's getting v hot and I'm getting a bit worried if 14 - 20 mins of walk daily in this weather is safe for pregnant women. Any advice on this?
I would imagine so. Millions of women around the world do this in very hot countries
I would just keep yourself hydrated all of my family sunbathed when pregnant
