Mississippi is getting hotter. Experts say it’s hurting moms and babies

Rising temperatures in Mississippi are causing significant concern for pregnant women and their developing babies. The state's long, hot, and humid summers, combined with a substantial portion of residents who can't afford air conditioning, make extreme heat particularly dangerous. Experts warn that this heat exposure can lead to complications for expectant mothers, potentially impacting fetal development. The situation highlights broader issues of climate change and socioeconomic inequality, underscoring the urgent need for better heat management strategies.
