Frenetic,
Sorry to hear you are having a tough time, I personally would bypass citizens advice and speak to an employment lawyer, they might have more clout. Any chance you can work from home? I'd also make sure you have a good list of contacts, might be worth thinking about looking about for a new job when you are coming to the end of your maternity leave...
Nothing exciting to report here, like others I'm a bit bored with being pregnant, just working away and waiting for madam to arrive 
I thought there wasn't a Limit to what people have to work in by law BUT you have a right as someone who is effected by heat to not have to work in it when you told them you have a medical condition that is effected by heat, also being bullied because you are pregnant is not on CAB will find some sort of solution for you it may be telling you to take it further or giving you more info i. What you can do.
In the mean time you need to tell them where to buy thermals 
I have cracked on with my xmas shopping today, wanted to get more but I was shattered
bangles and Memphis you are naughty (said Kenneth Williams carry on style!!)
frenetic they really do sound like a bunch of tossers. On one hand I'd go the whole log keeping, consult CAB and tell your HR dept that you are doing so because of their inaction. On the other hand, whilst shite, they are obviously not worth wasting any emotional energy on. I know it's easier said than done but if there's no enhanced mat pay to worry about qualifying for on return then it's a matter of weeks until you walk away from the lot of them. And don't tell them you're not coming back, that way you get to mess them about by 'changing your mind'. Then, next year find somewhere more deserving of your talents and make sure they all find out how much happier you are, and how adorable mini-fox is to boot.
It is totally unreasonable of them frenetic. My boss and his wife have been ttc for years, diagnosed unexplained infert and have had several early miscarraiges including since we got pg. It has not stopped him being supportive and showing an interest on a personal level even though I know it's hard at times for him. I lost my dad 3 years ago and similarly I would never get stroppy with someone just cos they had great times with theirs. Or even tell them how ungrateful they are when having 'issues' with their dad, shit, me & mine had enough but I still miss the old git And as much as this child is wanted and we were trying a long time, it IS hard to be constantly cheerful and 'grateful' when you've had no sleep, feel nauseus and light-headed, you're constipated and the blighter is pressing so hard on your bladder you can't stand up straight. And that's a good day! So thumb your nose at them and know that you're above their pettiness 
Viper that is a great improvement! I did laugh at the comment on your mums fsce though! I asked my mum if once bany is here she can cook me liver and bacon.....she said yes then said m&s do a great ready meal bless her she is now living alone and after 25 years of cooking from scratch has hung up her oven gloves!
Frenetic I agree about looking for something else near the time of your return while telling your boss you are going back this will ensure your mat relacement finds a new job to move to while leaving them in the shit!
I worked for a company and I sold my house making a lot of money on it that I intended to blow. I stuck out my job as I loved it but then area manager turned on me when he found I didnt find him sexy so did all he could to get rid, he then sent in extra staff from his workforce to 'help' on my stocktake...I failed my stocktake on the boxes they did which means I got a warning.....I waited until he was at the airport with his gf and her family to quit with immediate effect meaning he had to leave airport and come to open my store I loved walking by that afternoon to wave at him. Best feeling ever....oh I also didn't tell him the toaster didn't turn off meaning it set of fire alarms for whole shopping center, meaning evacuation and a fine from fireservice
