anybody not looking forward to third tri in heat of summer?!

carcirrotti · January 2011

I know...how could I already be thinking about that?

Im hoping I can somehow avoid all the swelling and tiredness from the heat. Sept is a great month though, can't complain. Im just not ready to be a swollen blob from Jun-Aug.

Bleh....anyone feel the same?

I'm actually looking forward to summer. Right now, the winter is killing me! Between the first trimester hormones and dry winter air, my whole body is dry and my eczema is flaring up. Layering up when going out in public is even worse! I'm so clammy and uncomfortable!

At least in summer, we can escape into air conditioning when it gets too hot. But I honestly think I will want to sit by the pool on most days. This winter is just making me grumpy!

true.. I could use a little sunshine and heat right now. I am sick of the snow already and want spring to come, but I just hope this pregnancy will be symptom free. Doubtful. LOL

shanna82 · January 2011

I can't wait! I have an excuse to try not to fit into a bikini! And I'll be pg for my 10 year HS reunion--so I don't have to worry about being as skinny as I was back then

Honestly, I would give anything to make it through 3rd Tri and have a healthy baby at the end, so I'll take any time of year!

goldielux1176 · January 2011

YUP!!! I live in the desert - 115 degrees during the day - eek!!!!

woodh · January 2011

I am not looking forward to being prego in the heat but I love the idea of having a September baby so I guess I will take the good with the hot Big Smile

emily565 · January 2011

omg its going to be miserable!!

xnbride · January 2011

I most definitely am. I had an August baby and a December baby and having a baby in summer was so much better. All maternity clothes are WAY cuter in the summer. It is so much easier to recover and get to know baby in the summer months. Post partum recovery in the middle of winter was tough. I went from being hot all the time to be super cold. My body ached and my poor boobs..oh my.

Baby will be a nb during my favorite time of year and right around Christmas is when baby will start to get a bit more interactive (smiling, cooing etc).

I am really looking forward to it.

MrsO11/24/2006 · January 2011

I will ditto xnbride...I had a December baby and pp in the winter SUCKS...you can't get out and walk and you have to be deathly afraid of the flu. I swear I walked around with my dd in my ergo for months so no one would touch her. Although I am not looking to heat and humidity, I am really excited for a September baby..it is an awesome time of year. I swelled up pretty bad with my 1st so I am sure I will be a swollen mess in the heat but it is all worth it!

DevonBedford · January 2011

I can't wait to be pg in the summer!
Yes it will be hot, but as someone who is always cold, the heat never bothers me anyway. Plus I think of all the cute maternity sundresses and stuff I'll get to wear

I really wouldn't care what time of year it was...today I am pregnant and I love my baby!!!

bakingqueen · January 2011

That was my first thought when I found out I was pregnant. I really do not do well in the heat! I'm a bit worried about it-- but looking forward to a great Fall maternity leave!

lreginaw87 · January 2011

I love the summer! No need to worry about falling on ice and hurting yourself of baby, easy to put on footwear (flip flops, not need to struggle over a big bump to put on boots), cute clothes, pool time, and can get out and walk outside!

hollywreath · January 2011

My mom mentioned this to me when I told her. She had my sister in Sept. (a day before I am due,LOL) and she said she was miserable!LOL I told her I'm excited because I get to wear all those cute dresses from Old Navy.

I am nervous about this GA heat, but I teach, so I'll be at home anyway!

Our anniversary is late April, so we have been avoiding that date to avoid a December Baby. I had my DD in May, so I had ugly winter maternity clothes for work. Im looking forward to the clothing part!!

dianamcu · January 2011

I'm in the South, so I am definitely fretting the heat of the summer! Luckily, my parents live 30 minutes away, and they have a pool.

smorzandoj · January 2011

We don't have AC in disgusting Baltimore summer....should be interesting....

bluejetta · January 2011

Hopefully here in the northeast it won't be too bad. I recently told DH we may be living in a meat locker if it is as even under normal circumstances I have very low heat tolerance. But I'm looking forward to it, the good and the uncomfortable.

AmandaPaige6410 · January 2011

Yeah, that was one of the first things that I thought of. But, at least this time I have central air! I have a feeling that will be my life saver!

carcirrotti · January 2011

we have a wall AC unit in our new house, hope it as good as central air.

062307Bride · January 2011

I am in Florida, so I'm seriously planning on spending the majority of the day indoors (it gets TERRIBLE outside!). I am, however, happy because school will be over in June and I'll just get to wear comfy clothes :-)

mrsmush13 · January 2011

Not looking forward to it... I live in the Deep South (South Mississippi to be exact - just a few blocks from the water). Aug & Sept will be brutal for me. I'm just glad that I work in a nice cool office and get to sit all day!

boxergurl · January 2011

I'm actually kind of excited about it, because that means I can wear lots of dresses! I have always had a big belly, so dresses make me feel like I look pregnant. I won't care this summer! I know it's going to get hot, and I'm sure I'll be miserable through July and August, but I just don't give a darn. I am kind of sad that I won't get to do the annual 5k walk that my mom and I do every year for the local animal shelter. I also won't be camping labor day weekend, but that's ok, too!

watermelonjenn · January 2011

I'm excited about the cute summer sundresses and being able to take lots of walks with they baby! Plus, I'm also happy that until we tell friends and coworkers, I can just wear big sweaters to hide my bloated tummy

lol This is the same for me, I am in AZ, and am not really looking forward to the three block walk from my office to the parking garage.

This exactly! I won't have to struggle to get socks on, can wear slip on shoes and flip flops. DH won't have to help me get boots on and or do up shoe laces for me. As well, summer means, I can spend the whole day relaxing at the park with DD and watch her play.

Exactly what I was thinking.

ksprin02 · January 2011

I wasn't at first but it took us a full year this time around just to get pregnant I'd take a healthy baby anytime of the year! And as others mention there are cuter maternity clothes in the Summer in the winter not so much

.

AutumnLeavesFall · January 2011

I will give anything to get past 23 weeks and have a take home baby.

MNMommy2B · January 2011

I'm looking forward to it, right now I haven't been able to get warm! I'm freezing all the time! I also love the idea of a September baby, so it's all worth it!

ZZsmommy · January 2011

I gave birth to a september baby in 2008, and I have to tell you, I looked like a beached whale by July, 2008! But, I am HAPPY I'll be hugely pregnant in the summer, because, with the complicated pregnancy I had last time, I'll be able to spend most of my 3rd trimester off my feet. I'm a teacher, so being hugely pregnany in the summer means I'll be able to take it easy during the riskiest time. Before I lost my April baby in August, I was concerned about having to work through my 3rd trimester (which I would be in right now). Most likely, if I were still pregnant with my April baby, I'd be on bedrest at this point. By being in the 3rd trimester this summer, I hope I'll be able to avoid preeclampsia and early delivery since I'll be able to lie down whenever I need to.

elynds · January 2011

I live in Houston, where it's hot, humid and miserable even when you AREN'T Pregnant. I would be dreading it, but I'm a teacher, so I'll be off for the entire 3rd trimester. I plan on staying in my climate-controlled house in between lounging in the pool under a large umbrella, which makes the thought of being uncomfortably pregnant in uncomfortable heat much more appealing

lyse2143 · January 2011

I spent so much time trying to get pg, I don't get a shiit what time of year it is. Honestly, that is the least of my concerns. I am more focused on my baby developing naturally and now how uncomfortable I will be.

ALL of this! I would hate to be in my 3rd trimester right around now and have to squeeze into or buy winter maternity clothes. Am looking forward to long, flowing dresses and light cardigans for the office!

Not to mention, it totally pays off to have a September baby - you get to include so many national holidays into your maternity leave: Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years... I might be able to stretch my 3 month leave to 4!

njmommaterp · January 2011

I am excited for the sundresses and skirts but not looking forward to the heat and swelling up. I am very lucky, I didn't swell with my DD at all. Can I be that lucky again? Probably, not! hehe

I loved being pg in the winter and I loved my clothing from Gap Maternity (they had the best sweaters). But I agree, having a baby at the end of summer/begining of fall will allow us to get out and go for walks!!! Missed that with a January baby.

But I am happy to be able to hide the baby bump for as long as possible at work with winter sweaters.

My Mom said she loved being pg in the summer bc she spent the whole time at the pool. Hopefully, on my day's off I can be down the shore OR hope for a rainy, cool summer!?!?!

But as most would agree, the "discomfort" is only for a while and a happy, healthy baby and Mommy is what we all want in the end.

pumpkinhead4 · January 2011

I guess it never crossed my mind! Eh, being 9 months pregnant is somewhat uncomfortable no matter what time of year. At least we don't have to squeeze into clothes. We can wear loose fitting dresses and flip flops! I am just looking forward to having the big belly and a bundle of joy to bring home and enjoy the beautiful Fall with.

charlotte.dewey · January 2011

Ditto to you goldielux1176 I live in the desert too...114 degress, not looking forward to it. But I think the cute dresses will be nice. And I live in flip flops!

water-fairy · January 2011

May be because of the ventilated weather here in the Bay Area but I did great in my third tri with DS. He was due in August. Can't wait for some warmth!
