Pregnancy is a physically demanding journey. Add in record-high summer temperatures, and the risks grow, especially for patients without reliable access to air conditioning, hydration, or transportation. July is one of the hottest months in the U.S., making it a critical time for care teams to stay connected and proactive.
Delfina helps care teams stay connected with patients during the summer months, equipping them with the data, education, and tools they need to support safe, personalized care.
Why heat can be dangerous for pregnant people
According to the CDC, pregnant people are more susceptible to heat-related illness than the general population because the body is already working harder to cool down both the pregnant person and the developing baby.
This increases the risk of:
“Heavy sweating can remove salt and minerals from your body. Talk to your doctor about how to safely replace salt and minerals lost through sweating.”
— CDC: Heat and Pregnancy
But there’s more to the story. A growing body of research from the NIH and other experts suggests that heat exposure during pregnancy may also contribute to serious health outcomes such as:
These risks appear to vary based on trimester, local climate, access to cooling, hydration, and healthcare. Researchers also note that pregnant individuals from underserved communities, including Black and Hispanic populations, may be more affected due to systemic barriers like limited access to air conditioning, nutritious food, and prenatal support.
