How is everybody coping with the weather?

[TerriB]

I am only 9 weeks pregnant, but suffering dreadfully with morning sickness and dizzy spells. This weather is making things 10 times worse, when I lie down on the bed I end up getting so hot it makes me feel worse. My electric fan is following me around the house!!

its horrible i can usually cope with hot weather but being pregnant in this weather is unbearable i jus cant find a comfy place anywhere in the house
roll on winter

jus out of curiosity, does anyone know if today has topped 37 degrees?

And sympathy to all you pregnant people.

Just passing on my sympathies to all you pregnant ladies dealing with this heat. A friend of mine is heavily pregnant and is struggling. At least she has gone on maternity leave now.

Good lock and I hope you all manage to cool down soon.

You might like to try magicool - spray I used this last year when pregnant and stuck in a classroom with 30 sweaty smelly students and windows that are screwed shut.. it is brilliant and helped cool me down.

tigermoth, yes it has, saw the news briefly and it did hit 100. Yuk.

I've been feeling v.sorry for myself all day in this heat at 34 wks pg it is impossible ....but got to thinking imagine going into labour today.

I hope none of our pregnant roll call started labour today

Is it just me or does it seem to get hotter in the evening ??

I was just saying that yesterday ANGELMOTHER, it makes no sense does it, but it does appear to get hotter at night.

Boring science input ....

It appear to get hotter in the evening as the cloud cover increases. It keeps the heat in. The temp is much lower, but the humidity increases slightly and makes it horrible conditions to try to sleep in.

If the sky remained clear all night then the temp would drop rapidly and we'd probably have to put our heating on!

This heat is killing me and I'm off to try to sleep now.

night

Still at work.. only 3 more days.... trains are like sweat boxes.... I swear this baby's gonna be born stuck between Ingatestone and Chelmsford.. least I was in first class.

BR (37 + 4)

I have not read the whole of this thread but please can I sympathise with everybody here. I am 7.5 weeks pregnant with morning sickness and yes the heat has been unbearable. I feel like I am stuck in the "Beetlejuice" desert without being able to get out, it is truly horrible.
