Celebrating holidays with friends and family can be fun, and the Fourth of July is no exception. Here are seven tips pregnant women should remember as they celebrate:
- Don’t stuff yourself with food. Remember, digestion slows down during pregnancy.
- Do not swim in fresh water to avoid parasites
-        Drink plenty of fluids and come in from the hot sun if you feel dizzy or short of breath5.      Avoid inhaling smoke from a grill
- 7.      Enjoy your day with friends and family. When your happy, your unborn baby is happy too!
- 6.      Avoid direct exposure to loud fireworks. Sound travels through your body and reach your baby. According to CDC, exposure to loud noises could potentially damage your unborn baby’s hearing.
- 4.      Make certain all grilled food is well cooked before eating.
