WIBU to forgo clothes from this point on?

[guardianofthedairymilk]

I'm only 26 weeks pregnant but I'm SO BLOODY HOT and inexplicably I am ragingly sweaty around my arse and generally in the pants area. All the time. All. Day. Long.

I'm so fed up of stupid maternity jeans shuffling their way towards the floor through the day, adding somehow to my sweatiness. Leggings are too hot. Commando skirts are bareable but feel very risky.

I'm so fed up of bras being all stupid and hot and rubbing on my (freakishly enormous) nipples.

WIBU to take all my clothes off right now and just keep them off until this baby deigns to arrive?

YANBU. Clothing is horrible in pregnancy. Only reason ever to wear pyjamas all day every day.

Oh it's awful isn't it?
When pregnant with DD I used to come home from work and strip off to my pants then lie in front of the fan.
I wore no coat from Feb til July that year- and I live in Scotland 🤣.
Naked is the way to go.

It's all good preparation for the peri-menopause, I kid you not 😭

Yep I agree with Random treat this as I test run for the menopausal years. That does tend after 9 months though, that can go on for years.

Ditch the clothes or wear very little and even wear a vest top like a crop top. I'm sure my neighbours love my fashion styling at the moment all the bare flesh

A maxi dress is your friend for when you have to be around people. A stretchy jersey one is lovely and cool and bumps look magnificent in them too.

I'm 27 weeks tomorrow and have just bought a two-pack of loose jersey maternity trousers from ASOS. Heaven!

Oh op you've made me laugh, I had to read your post out to dd17, she just said ' well fair enough!'

You need a nice voluminous maternity dress, a la Princess Di!

Less washing too which is a bonus!

Thin cotton is your friend. Or go to your local market and look about for those really loose almost hippy looking cheesecloth dresses.

I nearly stripped in the car on the way home (my husband was driving and it was his suggestion)! My maternity jeggings were so uncomfortable! I wasn’t hot or sweaty, they were just all so irritating!

😂 feeling your pain! 33 weeks here and I'm certainly not glowing! Sweating like a pig!

Harem pants jumpsuits have been my saviour so far. Get them from amazon. And no bra where possible!

Maxi dress and no pants

Maxi dress and harem style baggy pants? (Not together! 😂) um still boiling hot post birth.... hot all the time. But on the plus I think my skin is good because I'm constantly sweating off any make up I bother with 😂😂😂 think positive

Links people! I'm not even pregnant and feel like I might actually burst open as the heat gas swelled me up so much. My fingers look like fat sizzling sausages and my feet feel like water balloons.

Urgh I remember not physically being able to wear a bra and trying to stuff my enormous boobs into soft unwired things. I definitely looked elephantine at work for a while. Embarrassing and irritating.

@RandomMess so true, didn't wear a coat all winter. Hormones!

I’m SO with you!

I was so worried during my pregnancies that when I was admitted I’d wake up having stripped myself naked.

I didn’t but it was a close call sometimes....

26+4 here and I feel your pain. I've spent most of the weekend in a pair of very soft light lounge pants from primark and a PJ top. I resent having to leave the house at all at the moment. Just sorted out my clothes and underwear for the work week ahead and every single bra looks like a torture device between the sweating and the wires jabbing me under the arms. I need to switch to wirefree bras but as a 36g, theres not a lot of options out there that actually give support and don't cost a million quid.

I was v lucky I managed to start my mat leave v early and spent the last 8 weeks of pregnancy bouncing on my birth ball in just pants in front of a fan eating ice cubes. I didn't care if my neighbours saw. All women pregnant in summer should be entitled to bouncy ball fan leave.

Yanbu. 26+2 here and fecking BAKING. My grandmother gave me a lovely cotton night dress (DH calls it my moo-moo as in the smocks Homer Simpson wears when he puts on loads of weight). It is a dream - soft, cool, long so I feel covered. Nipples show through it though (tbf they show through most things owing to the fact they are the size of saucers and really dark) so have to be careful if I answer the door but can highly recommend! Also has the added bonus of making me feel like an Austen heroine or Victorian lady - I quite fancy tying those little rag things in my hair and taking a candle up to bed when I wear it.

Bleugh I'm with you, 30weeks and fucking boiling. Constant arguments with "D"H about whether we need the windows open and the fan on. Have had some evenings last few weeks where I have just laid in a tepid/cool bath all evening. Ice pops are wonderful

Thanks for the support, sisters. Now wedged onto bed in front of open window, in pants, eating ice cream. Nailed it.

Heatwave of 2003 in London, 30 degrees everyday for months, gave birth end of August I used to sit in cold baths but they used to get warm too quickly 😂

Whenever I sat on the sofa I had my feet in a bowl of water with ice cubes in it...

Had DS1 during the hot summer of 2006. I was 2 weeks overdue in 34 degrees! It was unbearable.

No bra or pants under floaty maxi dresses and have fan blowing on you at all times.
