You have an increase in your blood volume during pregnancy, and so being dehydrated, being exposed to extra heat, you&#8217;re working that much harder to keep yourself and your baby cool,&#8221; Gounder said.<\/p>\n<p>While it&#8217;s important to be aware of temperatures throughout an entire pregnancy, Gounder said it&#8217;s especially important during the third trimester, which can be hardest on the body. It&#8217;s also when the risk of extreme heat causes the most number of complications, she added.<\/p>\n<p>Finding ways to stay cool should also be top of mind, Gounder said, especially as resources related to heat safety are being cut.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re going to have to stay on top of this a whole lot more, because some of the surveillance that was being done by <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/former-national-weather-service-leaders-letter-noaa-cuts\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">NOAA<\/a><\/span> (the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), by the <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cdc-cuts-sickle-cell-adult-disability-programs\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">CDC<\/a><\/span>, is now being cut by the <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/biden-cancer-moonshot-trump-cuts-harvard-columbia\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Trump administration<\/a><\/span>,&#8221; Gounder said. &#8220;That is part of their job \u2014 to do the surveillance and let people know and to have those cooling centers open and ready to welcome people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In February, more than 800 employees were <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/noaa-national-weather-service-job-cuts-forecast-climate-change-natural-disasters\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">dismissed from NOAA<\/a><\/span>, the nation&#8217;s primary hub for weather and climate information that is considered the authority on forecasting, storm tracking and climate monitoring.
