Here are some tips for winter safety during pregnancy:

• Check weather reports. You should be well prepared for deteriorating weather, even if you're only an hour from home.
• Dress in layers. Moisture-wicking underwear, such as polypropylene fabrics, are especially effective. The outermost layer should be a wind- and waterproof shell.
• Hydrate regularly. Dehydration makes cold illness worse. You should be drinking at least a liter of water per hour of exercise.
• Snack often. Healthy snacks will keep your energy level up and help prevent cold illness.
• Move around. Using your muscles will help you stay warm. Walk. Jump around. Wiggle your fingers and toes.
