To be hoping that next week's weather forecast is wrong?

I'm 28 weeks pregnant. I'm too hot. My hands are feet are like hot irons and it's already too damned hot for my liking.

Therefore, I'm doing a raindance and hoping for Arctic winds.

I was pregnant in the heatwave of 2006 and it was fucking hell. Freeze a couple of small bottles of water then place them in front of your fan so the air hitting you is cooled.

I'm 29+1 too and OMG this heat is doing me in again, we had that record year when dd1 was born (at 11 days over in the September), dd2 was another hot summer (born 6 days over in July). I'm a cake maker too and still have 12 more orders to do (6 are weddings) before this one is due :( I'm praying the heat stays away for another 4 weeks at least, just to get the most stressful cakes out of the way :/

Just live on an iceberg with a polar bear

That sounds lovely

You have my sympathy! I an 39 +1 with an iron deficiency so even with tablets I feel exhausted!

I also have a toddler at home who will insist o playing in the garden all week. What I need is some handsome, barely clothed men to fan me, bring me cold drinks and snacks and assist me off my sun lounger every time I need the loo! (That's roughly every 30 minutes!)

Good luck op!

I have iron deficiency too, a 3.7 year old DD. And a cold. This week is not turning out well.

This really isn't funny now.

Sorry honey, get some ice packs, I'm hoping it lasts at least two months!

Meh I was pg in the summers of 2003 and 2006, this is nothing..............Seriously though, truly empathise, it's horrid. Fans, all of them, all of the time.

Aha, did manage to get a good night's rest. DH had the foresight to get an air con unit months ago and we left it on all night. I just now need to not look at the electricity bill. Gulp/
