Visiting from Central PA

rider5344

DH and I had planned a trip to your beautiful city before I was KU.  It is in Early August and I will be 5 months KU.  Could you suggest some KU "friendly" activities while we are there?  Also, where would you suggest staying/eating?  Finally, what is the weather like in Aug.?  DH thinks that we should maybe switch destinations for my sake, but i've never been and am really excited to check it out....TIA!

I've never been KU (Knocked up??) before, but I can assure you that New Orleans and August are not comfy! Think hot and humid. Heat coming up from the concrete and up your nose. It's very uncomfortable when not pregnant, so I can't imagine being in it when pregnant.

 With that said, there are lots of things you can do while pregnant in NOLA. You can walk through the French Quarters (clser to the water would probably give a little breeze, but in Aug I doubt it), you can ride the street cars, take a dinner cruise on the Natchez Steamboat, or even walk through the aquarium (AC!!). But I'm with your husband in thinking you should probably change destinations (or dates!) for your sake

Yeah, New Orleans is August is not pretty. And if you can't have a hurricane or a daiquiri to cool off, you'd probably be better off changing destinations. It pains me to say that, but it is MISERABLE in August. (And it's hurricane season, so you never know if you'll even get to make it down here.)

So true. Hurricane season is VERY active in August.

...:::EMILY:::...

I think the other ladies covered the basics but I just wanted to add...being from Central PA myself (we just moved to LA 2.5 years ago)...you're going to be HOT, HOT, HOT.  I was due in December as well and I would not go outside more than absolutely necessary from July-August.
