Heat and pregnancy

BeanBebe · May 2015

My first pregnancy I was in my first trimester during the summer, and I noticed it hit me differently than before - nothing too bad though. But now that I'm farther along as we head into summer with my second pregnancy, I feel horrendous every time it gets warm

I'm 14 weeks/2 days today but I've spent all Memorial Day Weekend sleeping it away. Today, the hottest day of the weekend, I've been nauseous and had a headache all day. I feel rough and so guilty that I can't enjoy the weekend fully w my four year old. Tips and tricks to beat the heat are welcome!

I'm worried about this too! Texas gets HOT in the summer and come July/ August when were bigger I can only imagine. I've been eating Popsicles like crazy-- seems to cool me down a bit and been a huge help since eating/drinking has been tough anyway. Also have been putting a wet washcloth in the freezer for 15-20 min to make it even colder then putting it on my neck, helps a ton with being hot and headaches

Also worried about the heat this summer! I'm originally from Michigan and now living in Oklahoma. Last summer was HORRIBLE (everyone said it was a "mild" OK summer and to buck up)... I'm terrified of how the heat will affect me this year... I plan on spending all of my days in my friends pool which hopefully will help!

Yesterday I went to a fair with DH and my stepdaughter and after being there for about two hours I was begging to go home. DH's family helps run the fair, so I was fine with going back later on, but I was sweating in places I didn't know could sweat and was uncomfortable and miserable and I just needed to get out of the heat and rest. I'm only 14+2 and can't imagine the rest of the hot hot summer...

It only hit 81 degrees today an I was dieing. I'm down I my basement enjoying the cool. I'm worried about summer. I hear peppermint oil helps keep cool, might have to give it a try.
