Summer pregnancy
Enjoy the warm weather, and make the most of your summer pregnancy while the sun shines!

Being pregnant in summer can be lots of fun. Here’s how to keep cool, stay safe and healthy, and make the most of your changing pregnant shape…

Show off your pregnant bump in a flattering maternity swimsuit. We’ve picked out the best pregnancy swimwear to save you the legwork. We’ve also got a round-up of the key maternity fashion trends for the summer, so you and your bump can look bang up-to-date.

If you’re going to hit the water - be it beach, pool or lido - there’s one pregnancy product, design by a Yorkshire mum-of-two, you’ve got to see. It will make lazy poolside days much easier.

As temperatures go up, you need to be sure that you keep cool. We’ve got 10 ways to ensure your bump doesn’t get too hot. Also, keep your unborn baby safe in the sun with our answers to your key pregnancy summer health queries.

Is it safe to use fake tan, diarrhoea medicines, jacuzzis and saunas in pregnancy? We’ve got the answers on what’s safe and what to avoid when you’re pregnant.

Eating out when you’re pregnant can feel like a minefield, especially when summer holiday treats like ice cream and seafood are on the menu. Here’s what can you eat with confidence, and what foods do you need to steer clear of when you're a mum-to-be.

If you’re planning a late summer holiday, our guide to summer holidays and travelling in pregnancy is a must-read.
