Heck, they tell average citizens to stay out of the heat when it gets this bad, so what would you expect a doctor to tell a pregnant woman? I'm sure you think they'd tell her to head to the desert and march across it with her winter coat on.

This is common sense. And if my wife was pregnant, I wouldn't be taking her to a MLB game in 90 plus degree heat with a heat index over 100. But that's just me..........maybe I'm a total idiot and we should all wait to take our pregnant wives when the heat index gets over 100.

It's a tradegy, no doubt. But I had two of our children in the South. One of them was born at the end of summer.My wife went outside everyday for extended periods of time, even when it was 100+ (not heat index, the real temp). Obviously, she wasn't doing physical labor. The key is, she didn't let herself get dehydrated. I guess my point is that it wasn't a reckless risk to take a pregnant woman to a ballgame.

Still just a horrible story.

I'm suprised that more people in those LF bleacher seats don't get overheated and have issues. They just look like they are baking away over there.
