Q: Trying to Stay Cool In This Heatwave!

Hi everyone! I am 32 weeks pregnant. Everyone keeps telling me I am small for 8 months but I feel huge, especially in this heat. I can barely walk when I go out side :d this is my first pregnancy and my husband and I are so excited, and scared. But to all my fellow pregnant ladies try to stay cool and I wish you all well!

Yeah I had the same problem. People also said I was small for my months until I suddenly dropped and I looked huge. The heat has been the worst thing for me during this pregnancy. Ive had swollen feet, the lot. Ive had to have my fan right by my bed at night and have a bath before going to bed. Trust me, it helped. And ive had to have ice cubes in all my drinks and I swear ive been drinking for england (and peeing!) lol but its got alot better now that its cooler and that ive not been going out much lately as my due date is coming up. My feet are up constantly so no swollen feet. I feel alot better. How are you trying to stay cool zdunson?

Staying Indoors Is Driving Me Crazy
I've been trying to stay indoors to stay cool, but it is driving me crazy. There is nothing on t.V, I look at my baby registry like 3000 times a day. My feet are very swollen and my ankles hurt, to top it off I have to be in a wedding this weekend and I cannot find inexpensive shoes to go with my dress. I am just frustrated and the weather is not helping. I cannot wait to have our baby....

I know its really frustrating. All I want to do is go out but it just exhausts me and I come home with swollen feet aswell. All I can wear is flip flops and ive gone up a shoe size! Lol all joys of pregnancy, every thing gets bigger! Hopefully the weather will cool down and when you relax you wont feel too bad. Whens your due date?
