Too much sun bad?

Hi everyone,

So today being such an amazing day. I decided to work from home today and thought I would go to the park (regents park). So I was out in the sun for about three hours. I took lots water, fruits and snacks...Oh and I had an ice cream. But I did sweat a bit... In hindsight im wondering if that was a bad decision? I got excited with the weather and hoping now I didn’t do any harm to my little bean? I didn’t get dehydrated or anything but did definitely sweat. Any ideas, google scared me 😭

2 weeks ago I was in the Emirates! Like you I was sensible - drank plenty and snacked, plenty 😉 as you do on holiday! I can reassure you I was feeling the same, wondering how much sun/heat was too much?! But I think we subconsciously know when to call it a day... ☀️😎 I don’t think you’ve done any harm... it’s overheating with strenuous exercise that’s probably best avoided xxx

I don’t think you will have done any harm. It sounds like you were very sensible. Look at all the women who conceive, have babies/do ivf in hot countries xx

I'm pretty certain that no one in the UK gets enough vitamin D so spending some time in the sun can only do you good. As long as you didn't get sunburnt and you kept well hydrated. I say bring it on! 🌞🌞

You sounds like you've done everything right by enjoying the sun and keeping cool with ice cream & dehydrating. Don't stress, if it's ok in all the other hot countries in the world then a wee bit of heat and sun ain't gonna harm....enjoy it whilst it lasts I say!xxx

The one and only time I conceived naturally I was on holiday in Greece. I think the vitamin D is always good for you and boosts your body in lots of good ways. As others have said you didn’t get dehydrated or burnt so I think it can only be a good thing, think we should all enjoy the sun when it comes to the UK. Our bodies need the vitamin D xx

Sounds to me like you did some epic relaxing and soaked up some vitamin D! Keeping hydrated was at the forefront of your mind and so you just keep relaxed! x
