I recently found out I’m pregnant while on holiday. I took a test after realising my period was late by 4 days..I’m feeling really anxious and scared since I spent a lot of time in the Saunas and sitting for hours in Jacuzzis and swimming in pools with chlorine. apart from that I got really bad sunburn after continuously sunbathing on the beach.. I heard that overheating in early pregnancy can cause birth defects.. any advice or anyone in similar situation?

I went to a Christmas party, got very drunk, went on holiday, drinking even more and even went in thermal baths, hot tubs etc, ate things I shouldn't and I have a very healthy, if not sassy five year old! I'm sure all will be fine :) if you didn't know, then you can't blame yourself.

Hello! I’m nearly 12 weeks pregnant. I also found out on holiday in June i was in turkey for 10 days it was over 40 degrees! my period was few days late, i done a test and it was positive :)
I was always in the pool, sun burnt, spa day and also went quad biking before the positive test. I’ve had two scans and all is well

Update::: I’m now 15 weeks pregnant! Had an early anatomy scan yesterday and baby looks completely healthy … one thing I did do is take lots of folic acid as soon as I did found out.
