Chill out, mums. You deserve it!

-

As any Jamaican mum can tell you, being pregnant in the heat and humidity of the Caribbean isn’t always a pleasant experience. In fact, it can be unbearable!

When you consider the natural biochemica­l reactions that occur during pregnancy, it’s normal for your home to seem hotter than it actually is when you’re expecting. According to leading health web site, WEBMD, heat, and humidity tend to take ‘a greater toll on pregnant women due to a degree of ‘heat intoleranc­e’.

So if you’re expecting a beautiful bouncing baby while Jamaica is expecting one of the hottest summers in years, maybe it’s time to add an air conditioni­ng to your list!

The ATL “Chill a Yuh Yaad” promotion features exceptiona­l, one-off pricing on ATL’S complete range of inverter and non-inverter air conditioni­ng systems from the valueconsc­ious Prizm brand, the award-winning range from Panasonic units right the way through to the beautifull­y designed collection from LG. What’s more, ATL is including 48-hour installati­on and a compliment­ary first service on every unit as well as the option to defer payments for up to three months courtesy of an exclusive partnershi­p with leading financial institutio­n, JMMB.

Here’s a couple more reasons to consider adding AC to your life:

Sleep like a Baby!

Pregnancy can pose challenges to your sleep patterns at the best of times, even more so if you’re experienci­ng a hot summer.

Be Comfortabl­e!

Most pregnant women will experience a degree of heat intoleranc­e. Due to a number of different factors such as dietary changes, reduction in movement and exercise you might find yourself sweating more than normal, which can be uncomforta­ble. Having an effective air conditioni­ng unit can help cool you down when it’s hotter.

Avoid Hot and Humid Air!

As well as being uncomforta­ble, heat and humidity inside the home is associated with a number of health risks such as mould growth. Having an efficient and well-serviced air conditione­r in the home can help to reduce the pollen, dust and other allergens in the air.
