There are several simple rules for pregnant women to follow during their summer holiday:

1. Make yourself comfortable on the back seat of the car during long-distance journeys. Traveling early in the morning or later in the afternoon is recommended, for you will avoid the sweating midday heat.

2. Always wear comfortable, loose clothes. Forget about tight belts.

3. High temperatures are quite likely to cause some blood circulation trouble, resulting in varicose veins and puffy feet and legs. Don't stand still on you feet for too long. Whenever possible, shower your feet with cool water or just shuffle down the beach for a few minutes.

4. Bathing in the sea is usually not a problem for pregnant ladies, unless the water is too gold.

5. Women with high blood pressure need to be extra careful. Avoid foods that are too salty - certain kinds of cheese and sausages, crackers, chips, etc..
