What should I do if I get heatstroke during early pregnancy?

In the hot summer, the temperature is very high. Some people who stay outdoors in the sun for a long time are prone to heatstroke. After suffering from heatstroke, the body will immediately develop many symptoms, such as headache, severe sweating, dizziness, etc. Severe heatstroke can even lead to diseases such as stroke. Pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy may also suffer from heatstroke if they endure high temperatures for a long time. This is very dangerous. So what should you do if you suffer from heatstroke in the early stages of pregnancy?

During pregnancy, due to changes in the pregnant woman's endocrine system, the body's metabolic rate is high and heat production is high. In addition, the subcutaneous fat thickens during this period, which is not conducive to heat dissipation. Especially in the summer, pregnant women find the heat unbearable. If they often live in a small room with poor ventilation, they may suffer from heatstroke. Heatstroke in pregnant women can cause dizziness, chest tightness, sweating, and nausea at the mildest, high fever, coma, and convulsions at the worst. It not only seriously affects the health of the pregnant woman, but is sometimes even devastating to the fetus. Pregnant women should take some measures to prevent heatstroke.

1. Don't wear elastic synthetic pants in summer. These pants absorb heat well but have poor breathability, which is not conducive to the heat dissipation of pregnant women. You should wear loose silk or cotton clothes that absorb sweat.

2 Try to stay at home as little as possible in hot and humid weather, and avoid high temperatures and sunlight. It is best to take a walk in the morning and evening. You can use air conditioning, fans, ice cubes, etc. to lower the indoor temperature.

3 You can use warm water to scrub your body, which can play a certain role in preventing heatstroke and cooling down. Do not take a bath in hot water, as this may affect the development of the central nervous system and lead to mental retardation after birth. You should also not use cold water for sponge baths to prevent colds.

4 Diet should be soft, easy to digest, light and nutritious. Eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish, shrimp, chicken, lean meat, soy products, etc. You can also eat lotus root powder, lotus seed porridge, coix seed porridge, mint porridge, etc. regularly, and eat less greasy foods such as fried dough sticks, baked cakes, fatty meat, etc. to prevent dampness and heat.
