Study reveals how heat and exercise impact Moms-to-Be and their unborn babies

This study looked at how heat and physical activity affect pregnant women and their babies. Twenty-four healthy women in late pregnancy completed four sessions in a climate-controlled room, combining different temperatures and walking intensities. Researchers measured the mother's body temperature, heart rate, and the baby's heart rate and blood flow using ultrasound. The goal was to understand how heat stress might impact maternal and fetal health.
