A member asked:
I am 34 weeks pregnant and i have been consuming increased amounts of iced cold water due to the heat. is it safe?

Some basics: The chilled fluids you drink will warm up inside the body & have no effect on the baby you are carrying. That baby is surrounded by natural insulation of the tissue layers and gets a blood supply that remains at normal body core temperature.
