Holly’s Story
Holly from Yorkshire shared her experience of a recent holiday to Kefalonia, Greece while pregnant with her first child. She described how her body reacted differently to heat compared to previous trips before her pregnancy, noting swelling, breathlessness, and fatigue even in mild temperatures in which her husband was fine. Holly recounted the challenges faced during activities like beekeeping in the heat, and the steps she took to cool down. Holly was joined by midwife Angie to share insights on managing heat during pregnancy.
“I didn’t know if I should go to the hospital. I was scared.”
