Keep Cool: Pregnancy Heatwave Edit

KEEP COOL

Pregnancy already runs warm, add a heatwave and it's a different kind of hard. Growing blood volume and a faster metabolism mean many mums-to-be feel the heat more than most, especially in the third trimester. This edit brings together the small, practical things that help: a portable U16 handheld cooling fan (or the mini USB fan for on the go), The Hot Mama Ice Roller for soothing puffy ankles, wrists and pulse points in seconds, and Hatch Mama's Down, Girl Cooling Leg & Foot Cream, a gel-based, ginger and mint cream to bring down swelling and cool tired legs at the end of a long day. Simple, considered essentials for getting through the hottest days, whatever trimester you're in.

FAQ's

What's the best way to stay cool during pregnancy in a heatwave?

Small, practical wins help most: a portable fan for instant airflow, a cooling leg and foot cream like Hatch Mama's Down, Girl on tired limbs, and an ice roller for quick relief on puffy areas. Staying hydrated and out of direct sun matters too.

Why do pregnant women feel the heat more than usual?

Pregnancy increases blood volume and metabolic rate, both of which raise body temperature, so heatwaves and warm rooms can feel more intense than before pregnancy.

Is it safe to use a cooling cream or ice roller while pregnant?

Products like Hatch Mama's Down, Girl cream are made with natural ingredients and suitable for all trimesters and postpartum, but it's worth checking the ingredient list for known allergies and speaking with your midwife or GP if you have specific concerns.

Can I rent items in this edit, or are they buy only?

Currently, everything in this edit — the fans, ice roller and cooling cream — is available to buy only.
