I'm 31 weeks, first pregnancy. I work in a warehouse and it is absolutely boiling. There is no air conditioning. They have given me lighter duties and so I'm at a desk just packing instead and been given a little fan. It hardly did anything yesterday to help, the second I moved away from my desk I was dripping with sweat. It was only 22 degrees yesterday, and tomorrow is meant to get up to 30 degrees. I don't know how I'm gonna cope, genuinely. My water bottle is pretty much just ice that I'm letting melt. The toilets are downstairs and like a sauna, and baby's pressing on my bladder at the minute so I'm there every hour, at least. It's a 5 minute walk from my desk and up a flight of stairs. I'm sweating by the time I get back. The entire place is like a furnace. A lot of people have complained and asked for air conditioning, but the best they have is fans which, unless you're standing right in front of them, don't really do much. I asked for tomorrow off, even unpaid, because I know it's gonna be hard to cope at 30 degree heat when that warehouse traps the heat inside and feels 10x hotter, but they said no.
I don't know if I'm asking for advice or just ranting, to be honest. I'm at work in an hour and dreading it.
