Extreme heat poses risks to pregnancy, from dehydration and heat exhaustion to more serious complications. On July 10, 2025, Moms' Maria Finnegan spoke with Duke University's Ashley Ward about why heat is a concern during pregnancy, how to reduce personal risk, and what signs warrant medical attention. The webinar also covers how current policies—at all levels of government—support or fall short in protecting maternal health in extreme heat and how advocates can fight for better protections against climate pollution that makes extreme heat worse.
