Some highlights from her articles:

“…Dehydration and hyperthermia can cause dangerous complications of pregnancy.  Remember you have permission to be a Drama Queen during the summer months!  Take it easy and take care of yourself as the temperature climbs. 

The simplest steps you can take are staying hydrated, getting rest, and staying out of direct sunlight and high temperatures.  Above all, good judgment is the best guide when you are out and about in the heat and sunlight…keeping track of your diet and fluid intake is of utmost importance, even more so in the summer.  Eat between 80 – 100 grams of protein per day.”
