So I know a lot of people on here are like "I hate it when people tell me how miserable I'll be being pregnant in the summer and I want to tell them to shut up!" Well, I've decided, they're right!!! I'm SOOOO glad I'm due in a week because this being pregnant in the heat business sucks! It's so hot out, I'm sweaty, enormous and don't feel comfortable enough to do any of the fun stuff there is to do around here on a beautiful day!! UGH!!!

I'm only 33 weeks, but so far I'm loving being pregnant in summer!
I'm a teacher so I'm on break. What's great about that is after my sleepless nights, I don't have to be up early to get ready for work.
I spend most of my week at the pool and in my air conditioned house.
Granted, I'll be missing some things this year, like the Taste of Chicago, because I know it will be too much for me, but overall, it hasn't been bad.
yup. being pregnant in the summer SUCKS BIG TIME. Im due August 19th and I'm praying LO either comes early or on time. I wont make it. And yes It's still annoying when people tell me how hot Im gonna be.
Gee I didn't know that SUMMER was considered hot all my life! Thanks for informing me !
I am really loving the pool and wearing tanks with shorts and flip flops! I had my DS the end of January and bundling up in a coat was annoying. I am enjoying this pregnancy just as much thanks to the a/c, the pool and having my DH home since he is a teacher.
Absolutely agree. The heat is annoying, but at least it is sundress and sandal weather...no ice/snow/shoveling/winter coats. Trying to find the bright side:)
This! Plus it is the only time I will feel comfortable in a swimsuit!

I've done both. DD was born in March and now we've schedule a section on August 20th.
I really didn't mind the winter months at all. The summer sucks b/c I feel bad for DD more than me...she LOOOOOVES to be outside ALLL the time and we've had some pretty nasty hot and humid days and I just couldn't be out there. I've also had to pass up on some annual fun summer trips too - which sucks. I know it will all be worth it but...........I would take a winter baby anyday!

MIL had DH in the middle of July in Atlanta. They had no a/c at the time either. I can't imagine that. June in PA is too hot and humid for my taste, and I'm not almost done yet. Summer is suck.
I'm a lurker and I have to say I agree with you. You are so lucky, i'm not due until october.
I'm due in a week too... but see, I disagree. I have not had any difficulty in the heat. I think it just depends on the person. I never swelled, never felt any hotter, etc.
Sorry it was difficult for you. Hopefully you will feel better once LO is here. If you have more kids and it bothers you that much, then make sure you don't get pregnant between late September and February next time!!
You're not alone! I feel the same way. But the weather here (at least in Southern Cali) has been really mild so far and no humidity. I can't imagine being comfy in 90+ degrees. And I'm already sweating at night even though it's cooler here.
I am not enjoying it. It is uncharacteristically hot where I live right now, and it's not a typically warm place. So nowhere has AC. Luckily our house is pretty cool, despite not having it. But no clothes are comfortable, and with two weeks to go, I certainly am not buying any cute summery clothes. I am just wearing baggy t-shirts and yoga pants.
I would kill for a Slurpee. No 7-11s in England, though. Boo.

OMG I agree with you! I live in Outside Richmond,Va now but I went home to Atlanta to have my baby shower and that was the first time during my pregnancy my feet and legs became swollen! I was soo upset because I was so uncomfortable and I was trying to entertain friends who came from out of town and I was soo busy because I was just home for the weekend so I never had real time to relax and prop up my feet. I actually ended up crying!! I hate summer. Im due Aug 31st UGH!!!
Hello everyone, this is my first post here on third tri...
It does suck and it is terribly hot, but I wouldn't give it up for the world!
