🌡️ Heatwaves can pose additional risks during pregnancy, as the body produces more heat and may find it harder to regulate temperature.
FIGO has published practical advice to help pregnant women stay safe during periods of extreme heat. Key recommendations include:
💧 Stay well hydrated
🌳 Keep cool and avoid the hottest part of the day
👕 Wear light, breathable clothing
⚠️ Know the warning signs of heat-related illness and seek medical care if you feel unwell or notice changes in your baby's movements.
Read the full guidance and share it with your networks to help spread this important information: ow.ly/zG0r50ZlXsy

"Our papers cover all aspects of post-partum haemorrhage (PPH) prevention and treatment; from the technical approach in a complex caesarean, to the importance of addressing gender inequity.
This publication marks a key step forward in the concerted efforts of OBGYN clinical leaders, to genuinely shift the dial on preventable deaths from PPH." - Dr Alison Wright, corresponding author

🔬 New study: Even without clinical diagnosis, stress & depression risk in pregnancy alter immune responses.
