Help please !! I’m almost 31 weeks pregnant and this heat would be too much for me even before pregnancy but I honestly can’t cool down! I also suffer from seizures so keeping my body temperature down is really important but I’m really struggling . And the upstairs of our house is red hot, we’ve opened all windows , keeping all doors open to keep the airflow round the house , got fans on and I’m constantly using that cooling spray but nothing is working .
Any advise Mumsnetters? I’m sure one of you will have a good hack !

A low budget option is a cooling towel. It's like a thin fabric scarf. You wet it, wring out the excess water, shake it and wrap it round your neck/head. When it starts to warm up you just take it off and shake it a few times and it's cold again.

It's essentially the same as a wet cloth but much less messy, stays cold much longer and only needs wetting again every few hours rather than every 10 minutes.

Do you have a garden? We have been sleeping outdoors.

I can really recommend this. It costs a tenner from Amazon. I was skeptical but it’s actually brilliant. I’ve now had to order another two for DS and DH cos they were so jealous of mine!
