(55 Posts)
...or am i just pathetic?

38 weeks pregnant and feel like i am boiling all the time! cant sleep at night due to the heat, sweating, cant bring myself to leave the house, generally fed up with it!

anyone else? or is it just me blush
Oh good, you're not ignoring me grin. We're buddies remember!

I need my buddy already and the baby isn't even born yet hmm
I'll have a look suwoo, tbh I haven't checked my emails for a few days x
Heinzsight, did you get my CAT?
I'm 34 weeks and really struggling with this heat too. It's been making me feel sick, bleurgh.

I searched everywhere yesterday and managed to get a reasonably priced air con unit. We've taken it upstairs which is great for the late evening but it's SO heavy, we can't bring it downstairs for day time relief.

I think I'm going to try the ice water in washing up bowl trick. I bought a big bag of ice especially!!

29 weeks - office like a sauna, and just keeps getting hotter and hotter. Actually vomited today, which worked pretty well for being sent home grin. Planning on working until 40 weeks, but if the rest of the summer is like this not sure I'll cope.
Luckily live in a basement flat - seriously we are never moving. We may only have 1 bedroom, but if I'm going to be pregnant again in summer I want to be here. It's like a cave. Perfect.

i feel for you TheNatty I am 33 weeks and based abroad so we've been getting a great deal of warm weather. today 34+ am currently stuck to the leather sofa LOL. all i can say is cold showers, plenty of iced water and if you are indoors fill a washing up bowel with cool water for your feet it does work!
AC at work is broken. It's a pub so the windows can't be opened. It's full of sweaty men. Tomorrow is my last day and then Maternity leave happens. YAY!
I've found that if you move about slowly you feel ever so slightly cooler than if you say in one place.

So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
