Summer - more and more often the friendly sun pampers us.

Soak up the sun - who doesn't dream about it on a fine summer day?!

The sun is a natural radiation that, at minimal doses, brings only benefits to the expectant mother and baby☝️.
It turned out that our emotional state, performance, immunity and even life expectancy are directly dependent on the amount of sunlight we receive.

Also :

• cheers up;

• prevent the development of osteoporosis;

• increase the level of hemoglobin in the blood;

• reduce the likelihood of developing colds and acute respiratory infections;

Experts allow you to combine sunbathing and swimming in sea water. But you need to sunbathe and swim at certain hours and a certain amount of time🥰.

For pregnant women in general, the sun is extremely beneficial - the sun's rays stimulate the immune system, protecting us from infectious diseases and exacerbations of chronic diseases😱.
⠀
The sun's rays also activate metabolic processes, helping the body to better absorb the nutrients necessary for the development of the child.
This means that the benefits of eating fresh fruits, berries, vegetables rich in vitamins, for which summer is so rich, also depend on the time spent in the gentle sun☺️!


The Importance of "Using" Sunlight
Under the influence of the sun, the mother's body produces vitamin D, which is important for the development and health of the baby.
This vitamin is involved in the absorption of calcium from food, promotes the formation of bones, joints and ligaments of the child, ensures the formation of healthy teeth and is responsible for ensuring the immunity of the child after birth.

IMPORTANT RULES:
⠀
- it is forbidden to be in the sunwhen the temperature is higher than at any other time of the day, and the level of radiation reaches its maximum levels.

- it is important to be in the shade every 20 minutes so as not to overheat

- Consume plenty of water in the sun, as well as fruits with a high water content such as melons, nectarines or plums.

- Choose categories of beauty products for high solar SPF and use 15 minutes before sunbathing.

A pregnant woman should not go to the beach in an open swimsuit. Her belly and chest need extra protection from the sun. You should look at models equipped with a special insert in the abdomen, which, without causing discomfort, allows the swimsuit to sit perfectly on the figure throughout pregnancy🤔.

And remember that during pregnancy, women are more prone to overheating and their skin is more sensitive, which means it's easier to get sunburn or skin blemishes during the 9 months of pregnancy. Therefore, it is important to take care of yourself and apply sunscreen or lotion that creates a strong barrier against UVA and UVB rays☝️!

If you choose to be out in the sun, please take the above guidelines into consideration and consult your specialist for all specific details.
