Chatting with neighbours and sitting in the sun for 30 minutes, Kara Rimington, a pregnant melbourne woman, was burned and was later taken to the hospital.
The Daily Mail reported that Rimington is 32 years old and pregnant with her first child. On December 21, she and her friends decided to sit outside and sat in the sun and chatted, when the temperature was 27 degrees.
Not long after, the two went to the shade of the tree, continued to talk for a few hours, and then separated and began to prepare for Christmas Day.
But when Rimington returned home, he noticed pink patches on his neck, knees, forearms and ankles at 5 p.m. And until then, she didn't feel very hot.
That night, she woke up because the corresponding area was too hot, and the next morning, the affected area began to hurt, and she applied some aloe vera to relieve the pain.
On the 24th, she called her family to take her to the hospital for examination and found herself experiencing a second-degree burn. It was then that she learned that pregnant women had a particularly high risk of edema, and that her skin was like this because she was pregnant.
Doctors say that the skin during pregnancy is super sensitive, which can lead to more burns and more serious injuries. And because of pregnancy, I have limited medications. ”
She was later discharged from the hospital, but she said that from the 24th to the 28th, she was very uncomfortable.
"Every time I stand up, I feel like my ankles are going to explode, my knees are sore, every time I go to the toilet, it's painful, and it takes 15 minutes to go to the bathroom."
Blisters also appeared in her knees, which swelled up at first, then broke off on their own, and then reappeared. She also developed symptoms of nausea.
