Over this heat!

[Maltr]

I'm 35+5 weeks and am really struggling in this heat! I've coped until today, and I'm now done, i just want to cry! At 11:30pm my bedroom is still 32°c and that's with a ceiling fan and a floor fan running 24hrs a day and with my curtains constantly closed.

Wondering if anyone has any tips on how to cool down a room (have done the ice in front of fan trick) or on how to cool an overheating, grumpy pregnant lady!

Thanks

I just delivered on Saturday after a very long hot pregnancy! To keep cool I took cold showers right before bed leaving my hair wet. I drank so much iced water along with chomping on watermelon out of the fridge. Cool packs out the freezer on your head while pooping your feet in a bucket of cold water helps to! Good luck with everything x

34+3 here and i sympathise. I'm still at work and the office is even hotter than at home.

None of these are much good for night-time, but wetting my hair (when at home) and putting a bit of cold water behind my ears and on my wrists is helping slightly during the day. I'd also second Chrissie's suggestion of putting your feet in a bucket of cold water. I tried that at the weekend and it was a revelation!

I can completely relate I’m 38+1. I bought a pram fan a while ago so that’s constantly on me in this weather. I’ve also never eaten so many ice poles 🤣I’ve put bottles of water in the freezer and have two ice packs, so I use one while the others in the freezer. My blinds are also closed but windows open. Good luck! Hopefully it cools down next week!
